Major-General Benjamin Bathurst, 54, the head of the Household Division has said that staging the
ceremonials for the royal wedding was more stressful than going to war. He added, “Last week we had 5,000 press and 1.9 billion watching from around the world; and you had 100,000 in the streets and every single person had a camera.” He pointed out that a momentary error during the ceremonials for the marriage of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would have been caught by smartphones and streamed instantly on social media and that his servicemen and women did “a brilliant job”.
