For those of you who have not heard the history of Arlington National Cemetery, where Prince Harry visited today, it has an interesting backstory.
At the time of the US civil war, it was a home owned by Confederate General Lee's wife and they resided there. As it was high ground overlooking Washington DC, it was soon strategically occupied by the North.
By 1863, Northern war dead had filled area cemeteries and Arlington was officially designated a military cemetery. It was an obvious slap to the Lee and Custis Lee family, to have their beautiful home become a place of honor for the North's military.
Also, I thought so but fashionista.com confirmed it. Harry's tie yesterday was covered with little blue rabbits - with an occasional ram or dog (Ican't make the other figure out). http://fashionista.com/uploads/2013/05/Screen-Shot-2013-05-10-at-8.22.47-AM.png
Who wears rabbit ties? LOL
