The alternate reality wedding which many apparently crave (spidertxm/twitter and twitter)
We all love a royal wedding.
Whether it’s the news that the Queen’s cousin Lord Ivar Mountbatten will wed his long-term partner James Coyle this summer or
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s beautiful ceremony at Windsor Castle, it’s hard to resist their charms.
You’d be forgiven for dreaming of a lesbian royal wedding, though, because just imagine how wonderful it would be.

Well, imagine no more, because an absolute genius has photoshopped Markle tying the knot with Kate Middleton, and the result is two gorgeous images of love and joy.
The pictures, posted by Twitter user spidertxm with the message “hi i photoshopped meghan markle and kate middleton getting married haha THATS GAY,” has attracted more than 10,000 retweets and likes.

In the first photo, the Duchess of Sussex confidently leads the Duchess of Cambridge through a canopy of roses, before the second image sees the fictional newlyweds kiss.
The post has led to an outpouring of happiness and gratefulness, to which the creator has responded: “No problem, just doing the lord’s work!”

Markle and her new husband made their support for LGBT rights clear in the build-up to their wedding by meeting with young LGBT activists from across the Commonwealth.

The humanitarian and gender equality activist was reportedly supportive of the activists’ goals, explaining that “she said that it’s just about basic rights. That’s it, simply. That’s all it is.”
