Jeanette O'Brien has never been to England but she has witnessed the royal weddings of Prince Charles and Diana, and Prince William and Kate Middleton.

She'll be up before dawn to witness the nuptials of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and round off the day with high tea at her Riverside Drive home.
