Yes me too. I saw those pics and thought... she looks pregnant or she's gained weight. I erred on the pregnant side :) So happy for them after last years sad news. Uh.... I'm confused.... why would her gynecologist be concerned? At this point she's only about 3 - 4 months in. Don't know...

I am not (although my husband is Catholic) but my grandmother - may she rest in peace - was a very devout Catholic and insisted I learn to curtsey and genuflect. Thank you for this information ;)

Wow I didn't know this thread was here so I'm just catching up. ? I was taught to curtsey and genuflect by my grandmother - I don't know why but she felt it was something I should know. I didn't know why I had to curtsey with my right knee (which is comfortable since I'm right handed) and...

She looks good in this pic at King's Cross. A fuller face looks fabulous on her. I'm glad she's feeling lots better - you can see it in her face - now that she's over HP.

Thanks to everyone who weighed in on Meghan's US citizenship and taxes :) Like I said I was aware the US citizen's paid taxes to their home country and the country they work in but didn't factor in the children born in the interim. Like many here, I'm surprised she wasn't fast tracked like HRH...

:lol::lol: Gotta love siblings :lol:

That's so true. When I moved from Canada to South Carolina, I maintained my Canadian accent and certain words and phrases - still do. In the same token, I learned new words and phrases. After 16 years living here, I find that I use old and new words/phrases in my daily life. One thing I...

:lol: Good one!!!

She'll always be 100% American. Changing citizenships doesn't change you culturally. Love it!! :lol:

I think this has to do with future children. They'll need to be brought up in the CoE and I can respect her decision to do this, if not for her, for her future children. Or we could totally be wrong and she wants to convert for her own personal and spiritual reasons.

Good point - it is a family wedding. You know, Chris and Madeleine live in London.... so maybe... just maybe, they could represent Sweden ..... just wishful thinking... :biggrin:

Well said. Another thing too - Meghan will be representing the UK not the US so it make sense to become a UK citizen and give up her US one.

I wasn't advocating she lose/give up her US Citizenship, I was just saying it's probably a tax thing nothing more. Giving up her citizenship is purely her call. I don't think anyone is asking her to do so.

It probably has to do with taxes. Being a US citizen requires you to pay taxes to your home country even If you don't work there. As a member of the royal family, she "earns" or is given an allowance (once they're married) and it's probably taxable in the US. Someone correct me here because I...

Well, I just read this: "Ms Markle is to become the fourth patron of the Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry. The actress will not be continuing her work on gender with the UN or with other organisations, but instead will starting her charity work as a...
