Royal marriage challenged traditional gender roles

A week ago, the world lost two icons.

The first was a man so revered that social media turned, in the days following the news of his death, into a tribute page befitting a community elder. He had lived a full life, that man, and the reaction to his death was proof enough that he had made a lot of lives better, more joyous, and that he had touched people around the world. If that gentleman was from my tribe (and who are we to say he wasn’t, really?) his funeral would have gone on for at least a month. Entire generations of chicken would have been wiped out. We would have found out, once and for all, if the human body can run on alcohol.
