Royal Roots

The clip sparked talk about the instrument's ties to the monarchy: after Queen Victoria's 1843 visit to Scotland, the role of Piper to the Sovereign was created. That tradition has included morning performances, travel with the monarch and even calming moments for Queen Elizabeth's corgis. Pipe Major Paul Burns closed the late queen's committal with the lament 'Sleep, Dearie, Sleep.'

Style and Celebration

That evening also had royal echoes: Meghan wore Princess Diana's diamond-and-sapphire earrings with a Greta Constantine gown while Harry chose a classic black tuxedo. Performers at the gala included Adam Levine, Josh Groban, CeeLo Green, Loren Allred, Divine Brown and Chad Kroeger, followed by a free concert at Victoria Inner Harbour the next day. Two weeks earlier the couple had shared a rare photo of their children visiting Althorp.
