Omid Scobie posted a floor plan of St. George's Chapel.

Meghan will enter the Chapel from the west steps. She will walk up the nave alone & Charles will join her once she reaches the choir. They will walk together to the altar.

The Clooneys going gives Meghan Hollywood A list street cred. Meghan was a working actress before meeting Harry. She had recognition, but she wasn't shoulders with Hollywood's elite. With HRH in front of her name Meghan and Harry will be invited to every major Hollywood event.

I think the compromise walk down the aisle is great. Wherever he is, I think Tom Sr is regretting the decisions he made over the past few days. He's missing out, big time.

Amal Clooney is not defined by Hollywood. She was an international law and human rights barrister long before she met George. She was admitted to the bar in New York, England & Wales and has practiced at the international courts at the Hague.
I think human rights is what they bonded over, not Hollywood.

I just saw the walkabout live. My goodness, can you believe it? It's the eve of his wedding! He looks so content and just wow! And I think the timing they came out is perfect. The sun is setting just as they are going around and it just made the whole thing more beautiful.

She looks so happy. I wonder if there are other guests at Cliveden tonight other than those related to the wedding?

How lovely to see Harry so extremely happy. He's simply beaming. And Meghan and Doria looked so beautiful.

Osipi · #**5292** 05-18-2018, 01:23 PM

Harry never fails to disappoint me. I was watching as he came out of Windsor Castle for a walkabout and he did exactly what I expected him to do. Zoom in on and zoom over to a little one in the crowds first. The man is running on a huge infusion of happiness with an strong chaser of exuberance.

**soapstar** · #**5293** 05-18-2018, 01:24 PM

Meghan looks beautiful. She's just glowing with happiness.

Great seeing Harry and William greeting the crowds. I love the relationship between the two of them.

On a shallow note, I didn't realize how much hair Harry has lost.

I imagine so.. its a BIG House.. Ms Markle and her Mother will probably dine in their suite to ensure their privacy.. [the 'private' dining set-up is exceptionally good, not the 'bog standard' Club Sandwich !]

ACO · #**5295** 05-18-2018, 01:27 PM

Livestream is now of Meghan and Doria's arrival

Wouldn't that give her dress away tomorrow if she walks down to the main entrance of the hotel to get in the car? I wonder if most of other guests are the wedding guests.

Meghan and Doria just arrived at her hotel. Meghan is wearing a chic asymmetrical black dress. Doria looks as if she had her twists blown out.

She meets Charles at this point where he, as a representative of the House of Windsor and father of the groom welcomes her and escorts her towards his son whom *he* is giving in marriage to Meghan as its his son's first marriage and has the blessing of his family.

I think its a touching and symbolic way to work everything of importance into this ceremony. I'm sure that if the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Church of England had any objections to the way this is being done, it wouldn't be done this way at all and quashed right quick. It takes into account that this is Meghan's second marriage and that no one is "giving her away" but yet brings a ceremony into the 21st century where the father of the groom is also playing an important part in this union.

I absolutely love it.

I agree with you 100%. I initially thought that Meghan and Harry should walk down the aisle together, but this arrangement is much more fitting and the perfect compromise imo.

I'm actually getting fairly excited (more than I thought I would), looking forward to seeing this all play out tomorrow.

BTW, it makes me so happy to see Guy again. I was really worried about him, but he's getting the royal treatment so I can rest assured! Indeed, from a kill shelter to Windsor, I think I see a book deal in Guy's future (j/k).

Just saw a clip of Meghan and Doria arriving to their hotel and all I can say is Doria seems like such a dignified and elegant lady.

Jacknch · #**5300** 05-18-2018, 01:34 PM

Just saw Meghan and Doria's arrival at their hotel - it's the first time I ever saw Doria in "real" life. She's really lovely and looks relaxed and happy - they both do!
