The couple, now known as the Duke and Duchess
of Sussex, tied the knot on Saturday at Windsor Castle, in a
splendid display of pomp and ceremony watched by almost 18
million viewers, making it the most watched program of the year
so far.
John Lewis, Britain's largest department store group, reported a
6.3 percent drop in sales in the week to May 19 compared to the
same week last year, which it put down to warm weather and
"customers turning their attention to the weekend's
celebrations."
John Lewis's supermarket arm Waitrose fared better, posting a
3.2 percent rise in weekly sales, as people celebrated the
wedding with rose wine, champagne and seasonal bouquets of
peonies.
