In honour of the forthcoming nuptials of
Prince Henry of Wales KCVO and
Miss Rachel Meghan Markle, we gathered on Tuesday 15
th May 2018 to drink ‘Port Fit for a (New) Duchess’, the theme being an echo of
Port Fit for a Queen enjoyed on the occasion of
Her Majesty’s reign exceeding that of
Victoria.

Some bottles were off, but the magnums and the Fonseca 1970 showed wonderfully. As did, amongst others, O60, Cr60, and F60. As did the 1982 tawny bottled for the occasion.
The evening was splendid, the four toasts being made by our newest citizen.

The glass on the right-ish far-bottom, not quite on the
placemats, was a Sandeman 1968 left over from
The BFT. The S68 had been double-decanted in Portugal about nine days before.

And we have an
announcement:
Kensington Palace wrote: The Queen has today been pleased to confer a Dukedom on Prince Henry of Wales. His titles will be Duke of Sussex, Earl of Dumbarton and Baron Kilkeel.
Prince Harry thus becomes His Royal Highness The Duke of Sussex, and Ms. Meghan Markle on marriage will become Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex.

My TNs belatedly posted. Be encouraged to do likewise (the posting, not the belatedness).
One of my TNs has a list, presumably of toasts:
- The Queen;
- The Happy Couple;
- Vintage Port;
- The Port Forum.
Can anybody recall whether these were actually done?
