Letter: Wedding guess

LIKE many I shall have little interest in the wedding between Mike Tindall and Zara Phillips in Edinburgh on Saturday (your report, 28 July).

However, they seem like a nice couple so I wish them well for the future. I recall reading some months ago a little item which made me smile.

Apparently, in the 1950s, anyone who had been divorced was refused entry to the Royal Enclosure at Royal Ascot. The article added that if that was in force today, half the current members of the Royal Family would be banned.

So let the sun shine on the couple on Saturday, and hopefully in 30 or 40 years they can walk into the Ascot Royal Enclosure still hand in hand.
