Great to finally see both of them.

When it comes to style and grace, its plain to see that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree when it comes to Meghan and Doria. Both women looked so wonderfully happy and calm and ready for the big day.

And, in all likelihood, the next time we see Prince Harry, he won't be "Prince Harry". Only a few more hours til this thread becomes a different kind of moot point.

One of my best friends lives and works in Windsor.. just chatted with her.. it is PACKED, and bubbling with excited people. She saw the rehearsals and 'comings and goings' at the Castle.. and will be watching it all tomorrow with her daughter , Olivia, who is nine and wildly excited !

[Lady Reem]

I think it is very Kind of Prince Charles to take on fatherly duties and walk Meghan down the aisle. I really wanted her mother Doria to do the honours but this is just as nice

[jacqui24]

One thing I noticed watching all the live feed is how annoying the planes are. I hope the couple have good luck tomorrow and not hear a lot of it.

I am sure that all these events and moments must be surreal for Mrs. Ragland. She is such a classy and beautiful mom. I hope she enjoy all these impressions connected with the royal wedding. Princess Diana would be so proud on her youngest son and will watch it from whereever she is now.

For the arrival at church I guess The Duchess of Cornwall will arrive with Doria Ragland and the Duchess of Cambridge will arrive with the bridal party.

I'm getting emotional, too, principessa. Didn't think I would. Doria is super classy.

Re: the bolded part: I remember when watching Will & Kate's wedding and seeing Harry and Will arrive together, I was thinking two things; 1) how happy their mom would be and 2) now we have to get Harry married. Now here we are.

Diana would be very proud imo. I'm reminded of something I read in the late 90s, I think it was in 'The Secret Years'. Diana apparently had a recurring dream of having a 'dark-eyed daughter'. Well, her dream came true.

What do you mean ? That Meghan has straightened her hair ? I thought so comparing some pictures I saw of her as a child on CNN with how she looks today, but I am not sure if that is what you are saying.

Eh, only to be expected, considering his family. But it's not a big deal. Reminds me of a line from a movie: If you want hair, get a dog!

With all the upheaval and drama of the last few days by those whom I will not name here, this is going to such a wonderful, perfect and joyous wedding. When I saw Meghan and her mom, I was shocked at how gorgeous the lady was, for her age, she is ageless and has such dignity and grace about her. She is one very beautiful woman indeed...and Meghan, she is beaming with love, finally the long wait is almost over and the lives of these 2 young people will begin and hopefully in the future the beautiful babies will start to appear.

Windsor is filled with thousands of people all celebrating the love of Harry and Meghan, what a marvelous way to start life together.......wishing them the blessings from above and all the joys of a wonderful life together......Boy they deserve it after what they have been through.......

Okay, now is the time to take out the garbage can and lock the lid down tight.......sorry about that, just had to do it mods.....

[principessa]

I just ask me what are Meghan and Doria are doing now? Drinking a glass of wine, eating some sweets and talking about the past and the future. Sometimes they will laugh, sometimes they will smile and sometimes they will be reverent. I wish them a very beautiful eventing and Meghan a good night with enough sleep. She need very much power tomorrow.

What Harry and William are doing is clear for me: They are sitting down together with two or three glasses whiskey and telling endless jokes.

Tomorrow will be a great day. My anticipation is increasing second after second. How wonderful they will be as bridal couple.

She keeps trying to move her hair with her hand. Seems like she didn't know what to do with her hands.

There's a nice little interview with the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopalian Church by an ITV reporter. Definitely a call to ignore all the drama and distractions and focus on what's actually important about tomorrow.

I'm sad that I won't be able to watch the wedding live (I have a family thing). I'm still excited for tomorrow. It's gong to be amazing.


I've noticed it before and finally have to say it - Doria is very pretty and classy.

I don't even want to think what Harry and William are doing now, especially after William said that "revenge is sweet".

[crm2317]

Really looking forward to tomorrow! I’m sure Meghan will be beautiful, Harry will be handsome and the children little cuties!

I was in the supermarket tonight and the lady at the checkout just said “Royal wedding bbq?” Haha!

[Moonmaiden23]

Prince Charles and especially Harry were merciless in their wedding evening speeches and toasts to William, gleefully making fun of his thinning hair and his bald spot.

Harry even included mimicry mocking his brother's phone calls to his then girlfriend Kate, describing how they called one another endearments like "baby".

I expect much the same from William tomorrow night, and if his comments when the news of Harry's engagement were first announced are any indication it's going to be a doozy. I think that's where William's "Revenge is sweet" warning came from.

William and Harry can be hilarious in their digs at one another.
