    Engagement of Prince Harry of Wales and Meghan Markle: November 27, 2017

    It's a pity that we did not get a picture of her dress. It was rather cold outside but she could have taken one for team!

    Engagement of Prince Harry of Wales and Meghan Markle: November 27, 2017

    Harry seemed so nervous and I thought it was very sweet when Meghan started rubbing his hand as if to reassure him! It was all rather quick though, 2 minutes in fact!

    Harry and Meghan: Relationship Musings

    As I've been saying all along Meghan who is American would not announce an engagement on a major national US holiday. Also after just wrapping up on Suits & packing up her things she is probably in need of a break. H&M have not been seen since last Tuesday & my guess is that they're having a...

    Harry and Meghan: Relationship Musings

    The Express article contains so many inaccuracies. It reads like it was hastily put together by a journalist who was in a rush to meet the deadline. Why would Meghan apply for a pet passport 6 months in advance, when it literally takes just a couple of days to get a pet passport. Also...

    Harry and Meghan: Relationship Musings

    KP will need to get a grip on the situation. It is turning into a farce when seasoned journalists are arguing over facts, and sources from the palace & Downing Street contradicting each other. If an engagement is imminent then the palace needs to announce it pronto to stop the ridiculous...

    Harry and Meghan: Relationship Musings

    These latest articles make no sense! There's no way Meghan who is American would announce an engagement on Thanksgiving day. It's a big national holiday & most Americans are busy spending time with their families. Also most American journalists are given the time off, so it would be difficult...

    Harry and Meghan: Relationship Musings

    I wasn't aware that there was a rule that royals could not get married around the six weeks lent period. There are hardly any official royal engagements that I know of for Easter. Harry did not even spend last year's Easter in the UK. He was in Toronto with Meghan.

    Harry and Meghan: Relationship Musings

    Kate's due date is in April. If I remember correctly Charlotte's due date was also in April but she wasn't born until May! This is why I have my doubts they'll have a May wedding. If they were to get married at the end of Feb that gives them 3 months to plan. The royals have staff at their...

    Harry and Meghan: Relationship Musings

    If the rumor is that they're planning to have their wedding next summer, it is doubtful that they would make an engagement announcement 8 months in advance. The royals don't tend to do long engagements. To give you an idea Charles & Diana made their announcement in February & got married in...

    Harry and Meghan: Relationship Musings

    The mood in Britain has undoubtedly changed & the royals are expected to be more accountable and are now being held up to greater scrutiny. This is why there was uproar when the Buckingham Palace refurbishment was announced, the recent Paradise Papers, and the uproar when Harry broke the rules...

    Harry and Meghan: Relationship Musings

    Most recent foreign spouses that I can think of have lived for a period in their adoptive country, Prince Philip, Princess Mary of Denmark, Autumn Philips. Perhaps a century ago this wouldn't matter but attitudes have changed concerning royals & what is expected.

    Harry and Meghan: Relationship Musings

    Harry or any other members of the royals are free to marry who they want. The royals have a history of marrying foreigners so this is nothing new or unique. However my point is that someone marrying into the royal family should have at least lived or worked in the country that they will be...

    Harry and Meghan: Relationship Musings

    The royals are not always transparent with their finances hence the recent uproar regarding some of The Queen's & Prince Charles investments. But let us not kid ourselves to think that the bulk of their expenses is coming from their own pockets. I edited my response above to include expenses of...

    Harry and Meghan: Relationship Musings

    Let's put it another way, would Americans be happy to have a first lady who has never lived or worked in the US? Melania Trump is certainly not to my taste but at least she lived & worked in the US for a number of years prior to when her husband became president. Obviously I don't expect Meghan...

    Harry and Meghan: Relationship Musings

    Who said anything about Meghan receiving taxpayers money as a private citizen? Of course she won't be entitled to taxpayers money as a private citizen. What I said was why I think an engagement announcement should be delayed. Hypothetically if H&M get engaged next week she would automatically...

    Harry and Meghan: Relationship Musings

    Who said anything about not giving Meghan an RPO upon engagement? That was not my argument at all. I think you misunderstood my point. I was talking about the timing of an engagement announcement & why I think it should be delayed till at least Meghan has lived in the UK for a short period. Of...

    Harry and Meghan: Relationship Musings

    I think things have worked out nicely for Meghan. Suits is pretty much on it's last legs and 7 seasons is quite an achievement for any show. Seems like the best time to bow out! I personally would hold off on an engagement announcement until she's lived in England for a few months. Simply...

    Harry and Meghan: Relationship Musings

    Fame is fleeting and no one can predict how long a public figure will remain in demand. The media is so heavily saturated and the public have become so fickle that it is very rare for anyone to remain relevant for a sustained period of time nowadays. So let's not get carried away with billing...

    Harry and Meghan: Relationship Musings

    Having looked at the preview it looks as cheaply made as the channel 4 programme! It even has some of the same people being interviewed. Meghan's estranged half sister Samantha who she hasn't spoken to in a decade is also in it. They are really scraping the bottom of the barrel with these...

    An interesting article from a former royal correspondent about the subtle but deliberate attempt by the media and the palace to make Meghan more palatable to the British public The disgraceful white-washing of Meghan Markle | HeraldScotland

    Harry and Meghan: Relationship Musings

    Meghan's estranged half sister Samantha has just given her first interview on a UK morning show called 'Good Morning Britain' to publicise her tell all book. I'm bemused why a credible tv program would give publicity to this grasping & shameless woman. Luckily many viewers have been calling her...

    Harry and Meghan: Relationship Musings

    Less than 50% of London's population is White. London is the place where most royal celebrations take place. There are also other areas in Britain where non-whites are the majority. The fact that Whites make up the overall majority in Britain still doesn't change the original point that blacks...

    Harry and Meghan: Relationship Musings

    I don't doubt that there are some black brits who do view the monarchy favorably, however they are largely in the minority. And as someone mentioned there is also a generational gap. The older generation are more sentimental to the Queen because she has been the figurehead for such a long time...

    Harry and Meghan: Relationship Musings

    It is not the same situation. Colonialism & slavery are two different things. British colonialism ended much more recently with most countries only geting their independence in the last 50-60 years. Also the British monarchy had a direct hand in colonialism & the Queen is still head of the...

    Harry and Meghan: Relationship Musings

    I found the Guardian article to be cringeworthy! Generally when anyone is portrayed as some sort of savior for an entire race of people it makes me feel uneasy. Also the concept that you have to seek white validation in order to feel appreciated is just plain wrong. I like Meghan but I'm not...
