I have been reading all morning and digesting this news. Now getting a chance to post and I am ELATED. :D :D :D

How wonderful of Charles to step in! I suspect Doria might have been nervous and who can blame her...the attention and pressure is immense.

And the symbolism! I love that on the journey to her new life, the stalwart of her old life, her mother will be accompanying her. And as she enters the place where she will be come a Duchess, she enters alone as the independent woman she is. Charles will then greet her and welcome her to the family before she joins her future husband. It allows for such beautiful meaning in each stage of Meghan's journey tomorrow morning and I am thrilled and happy for her and Charles, who would have never gotten the chance to do this on such a scale if Meghan hadn't asked.

This also allows Doria to be relaxed and enjoy seeing her daughter be married without the inevitable nasty criticism and the nerves. Perfect decision and reasoning IMO. ?


P.S. I do understand the people who are concerned her mother is not doing it but I am certain Meghan would have had a discussion with her mum an not just excluded her. Doria, being a private woman unused to this must have been incredibly nervous and so I'm sure she is also very happy her daughter has chosen to do things this way.

Just woke a short time ago........Yep, everybody called it..........Charles it will be, but first she will start alone, won't she? "Bold feminist statement," one site called it.

Just happy the whole "who will" speculation is over and we can get to sending out good vibes to Meghan and Dora and the BRF.

BTW, it was SLOW for me to get in here. Must be tons of folks in here.

The BBC news here is using the rather guarded phrase 'it's being reported' that Markle Sr has had a Heart procedure ....
Which looks VERY much as though they doubt the veracity of this deeply 'convenient' story...

Since they can find neither he nor the hospital he's in, just as the Highway Patrol can find no accident report for Samantha, which is required, I think they are keeping their options open.
 
I think we really have been keeping a vigil. Ever since the engagement announcement in November. :lol:

Some of the press saying they are hearing rumors of a walkabout after the rehearsal. We shall see.

The rehearsal was yesterday....today is tea with the Queen.

I imagine that after the tea with the Queen is when we will see Meghan and Doria leave Windsor Castle for their hotel for the last night before the wedding. :D

Okay...can someone help me envision this?

Meghan walking "alone" (with ten children trailing!) part of the way and then when she approaches the Quire Charles will offer his arm and escort her to the altar. Very nice.

And the children....do the older four continue on while the smallest ones are whisked into a holding cell until the ceremony is over? :lol:

Somebody on a news site was quoted a calling it a "bold feminist statement" that she will walk partly by herself.

Hmmmmmmmm.:flowers:

Somebody in here last night told me Charles will say:

"Look son, what I got you for your birthday!."

And I said Harry will say:

"Father, this is the GREATEST birthday present ever!!! Thank you!! Britain forever!!."

Jolly good and all that tommyrot. :lol::lol:

Camilla Tominey said on Today that the wedding "will have soul". The specifics are embargoed until later today. So that's one more announcement we can expect.

That I do hope and I know it will.

I DO wonder EXACTLY what they meant by "soul." :whistling:

It's supposed to be the "People's Wedding," after all, so I know it will be something spectacular and interesting. ?

After the chaos that was this week with her father, I wouldn't be surprised if Doria was uncomfortable. She wasn't initially doing it so her being tossed into that could have been too much for her. I mean I wanted it to happen but that doesn't mean she was into the idea. It is a lot to ask of someone at the last minute. At least Charles is used to it.

She sounds like an extremely private woman. To go from leading a completely anonymous lifestyle to walking her daughter down the aisle to marry into the BRF before a worldwide audience of millions would be daunting for even the most ardent attention seeker. :eek:

I am not at all disappointed if she feels it would be too much for her.

I would have loved the idea of William doing the honors(shades of Prince Philip with his sister-in-law Margaret in 1960) but I am delighted that it will be the PoW.?

There was no rehearsal yesterday. Doria met with the Cambridges. This was annouced yesterday. They are currently in rehearsals right now per the reporters with the page boys and bridemaids and Charles. The tea was apparently earlier as a helicopter few into KP and left about 30 minutes later.

'Soul'? What does she mean by that? Have the couple partly written their own vows or something?
 
Probably meant the gospel choir and sermon.
 
when I hear "soul" with American ears, I immediately think of the gospel choir----which I am REALLY looking forward to!
 
The Clooneys Expected to Attend Royal Wedding: Meghan and Amal 'Have Known Each Other for a While'

George and Amal Clooney are among the lucky ones who scored the wedding invite of the year.

The actor and his lawyer wife are among the guests attending Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding at Windsor Castle on Saturday, a source confirms to PEOPLE.

“Meghan and Amal have known each other for a while,” confirms the source. The insider reveals that the two women were introduced by a mutual friend and have formed a friendship since Meghan moved to the U.K., adding that they share “many interests.”

The source says the Clooneys are also two of the 200 invited to the private evening reception at Frogmore House on Saturday.

Aretha Franklin doing a 'turn' ?

Its uncanny but I actually thought of Aretha first when I read that. To be expected though as I was born, bred and buttered in Motown. :D

Possible flowers.

Lovely! But, I hope it is very, very cool in the chapel or wherever those flowers are going because the roses and the peonies are at the perfect point right now--any heat, and they are going to be so far overblown that petals are going to start dropping.

Speaking as someone who has grown both peonies and roses.

Fingers crossed.

Edited to add:

Plus, I found peonies had a tendency to start browning if you looked at them wrong, so, yeah, hoping it's cool.

It should be cool enough inside an old building in England in May.
 
Flag just went up signaling the Queen has arrived.
 
Delphiniums too ! [My Mothers Favourite, as well as a big hit with slugs]
 
The discussion about Queen Charlotte and racism have been deleted as off-topic. Let's stick to the topic, please.

It doesn’t make sense for Prince Charles to give Meghan away since she is not part of his family yet and he has no relation to the bride. He could walk her down the aisle, but her mother should give her away.

It is very sad really that Ms Markle can’t.find or trust a family member to give her away and a sign that she is really making a clear break with her past life.

Prince Charles is NOT giving Meghan away. Kensington Palace announcement says he will accompany her down 'aisle of Quire'. Perhaps she will walk the nave alone.

Others have pointed out here he is not "giving her away." He is simply "presenting" her to his son. ?

But yes, she is going to walk part of the way by herself.
