The fascinating thing Americans were Googling during the royal wedding
Nothing makes a wedding more magical than drilling down into some search engine data. Real fairy-tale stuff.
Google trends released some stats pertaining to people's Google searches about the royal wedding and it's a snapshot into what people were really intersted in.
Interestingly, the US was curious to know... what on earth is a fascinator?!

Just to clarify, a fascinator is a fancy doodad you wear on your head when you go somewhere posh. Sort of like a less functional hat. Technically the dress-code for the wedding stipulated that hats be worn rather than fascinators, but some people were just born to be rebels.
Google trends also revealed that although Harry and Meghan have become the most searched royals since their engagement, the Google crown still belongs to William and Kate, who got married in 2011.
They did however overtake President Trump for one glorious moment.
The data Google revealed about UK users was a touch more typical. Brits wanted to get some of the basic deets about the new Duchess of Sussex (spoiler, it's Meghan Markle).

What really matters more, the history of Windsor castle or fluffy head-ornaments? I think we all know the answer.
