Hi. How can I center align text with hyperlinks in it?

I need to have the some text below, and with the XAML I got it's currently not centered. In fact, Horizontal Alignment does not seem to have any effect. Hyperlinks are working fine, however.

This is inside a grid with 2 columns, and I need the ColumnSpan to be 2.

Thanks.

        <Hyperlink NavigateUri="https://www.my-company-website.com/privacy-policy/" RequestNavigate="Hyperlink_RequestNavigate">

    Someone just told me that HorizontalAlignment is for the entire TextBlock control, whereas TextAlignment is for the actual text content. So:

    <TextBlock TextAlignment="Center" ...
