Meghan Markle, Prince Harry royal wedding: Media coverage is all about baby predictions and sex life analysis
Before the royal wedding, international media has delivered with bad puns, over the top headlines and crazy reports.
The most royal of weddings is upon us.
While elder brother Prince William married a "commoner", calling Prince Harry's fiance Meghan Markle "common" would be stretching that term to the extreme. The marriage of the well-known TV actress, who gained fame through her work on the legal drama Suits, into British royalty was always going to be a big event.
And we know the media can go a little cuckoo when actors get married. Throwing in a prince in the mix is simply asking to be drowned in bad puns, over the top headlines and crazy reports. Fortunately or unfortunately, global media has delivered. And how.
