Prince Harry: Relationship Suggestions and Musings 2016-2017

[Osipi]

I agree that William won't have a "say" in the ring, the proposal, which knee to get down and dirty on or how to wear his hair at the time. However, if there's one person that Harry would use as a sounding board for those big "what do I do?" questions, it would be William. I do believe that the brothers are quite close and if memory isn't out to lunch again, William talked over his choice of an engagement ring for Kate with Harry and they both agreed that William would use Diana's engagement ring for the occasion.

No matter what ring, no matter what stone, no matter if its old or new, its not the ring itself that will affect the engagement. The ring is a symbol of the formal agreement between two people to marry and spend their lives together. I'm sure that Harry will have Meghan totally in mind when choosing it too with a bit of conniving with his big brother about it all.

Again, its still a big "if" they get engaged and married.

 

[Pranter]

Yep...they are close, both of them have said it in interviews. Can't imagine either of them making that type of decision without talking to the other one.

IIRC, re: Diana's ring, it was said in an interview/article that they had an agreement..whoever got engaged first could use it.

So, I was looking at some pictures of Meghan's past fashion and noticed that in July last year, the DM ran a story about one of Pippa's Wimbledon outfits. Halfway down the page, there's a picture of Meghan when she attended the same day.

Possibly the last time Meghan was referred to in the DM as anything other than Harry's GF?

 

[Pranter]

Maybe so...we are pretty sure they were dating by this point...just not yet known by the media.

I find the inclusion of her picture as telling. Something must have occurred to tip some editor off that something was brewing. The only explanation for her inclusion in that story IMO. But not enough (then) to actually make a claim.

Thanks for linking the article - ironic that Cressida is pictured near the top of the article whereas Meghan is near the end of a lot of photos of folks.
If Meghan attends Wimbledon this year & Cressida does as well I predict the placement of photos to be switched w/ Meghan first, Pippa second, Cressida third and the obligatory fictional story of some sort of feud between Meghan and Cressida
I'm not sure Meghan will attend Wimbledon this year as her friend Serena isn't playing as she's expecting. Also it's hard to know whether Meghan's filming schedule will allow a trip to England for Wimbledon.

^ Pippa and Megan look pretty similar, especially when Pippa is glowing from being tanned. I kept thinking that Meghan looked pretty similar to some other famous person, I could not figure it out and then I see these pictures of Pippa from last year.

 

[Countessmeout]

Meghan was among a number of celebrities in that article. Not that uncommon. At these kinds of events, the DM always posts pics of celebrities in the audience. The fact she was a little known celebrity in the uk, had her down so far. The reason she caught any attention was because of Serena Williams.

She and Harry would have met by then, but no sign they actually were dating yet. And no hints arose they were dating until October. Wimbledon was hind sight, the daily mail went back after rumors appeared in October and said 'oh look she was there'.

If she was featured becayse of suspicions we'd know. How many articles have been printed about 'rumored girlfriend' when seen near a woman. If there was even a hint of speculation, her photo would be up with Cressida, and hardly veiled suggestions made.

That's a stretch. If you look through the pictures, a good number of celebrities are shown. They just kind of round up all the famous (by whatever degree) people who happened to have been at Wimbledon that day. The DM typically takes that approach.

 

[Rudolph]

If they get married, Meghan will need to stop that ridiculous cross legged 'I have to go to the loo' pose that she and other celebrities do when being photographed.

Dunno about that. We know Harry was aggressively pursuing her during that time. Meghan told Larry King that there were several interested parties, correct? Harry could have been around and it was noted that he was keen towards her. Could have been so. Speculation, of course. JMO.

 

[Cocoasneeze]

I think DM would've blasted that little tidbit the loudest, if they were tipped off about Meghan being Harry's new love interest. She is Serena Williams' friend, a celeb in her own right, DM published her picture because of that.

 

[American Observer7]

Will Harry wear his wedding ring if/when he marries Meghan?

I know that Charles and William don't wear theirs and I think that is so disrespectful to their marriages and their wives.


Anyway, I am hoping Harry doesn't follow suit. Thoughts?

Why is it disrespectful to their marriages and wives? Pretty common for people to choose to forgo wearing rings

Charles wears his on his pinkie under his signet ring. William has never worn any rings.

I know women who don't wear any rings including their wedding ring. Personal preference.

 

[Rudolph]

Men wearing a wedding ring used to be regarded as 'lower-class' and flashy. It's still quite common for men of a certain social standing to not wear a ring.

For instance, former Prime Minister Cameron doesn't wear one.

Harry's choice.

She was introduced to Meg by the Yorkies (York princesses) and it's telling that the princesses would think that Meg would be good for Harry.

Charles's wedding ring is worn with his signet ring. He wore his wedding from his marriage to Diana until he became officially engaged to Camilla.

William don't wear any jewels on than a watch. He used to wear a bracelet, but he no longer do that.

Perhaps Harry will wear his someday.

 

[Skippyboo]

William doesn't have a wedding ring. So it's not like he has one and doesn't wear it. Philip doesn't wear a ring. Kate's dad doesn't wear a ring. Those two older gentlemen's marriages are still going strong.

That's right! William never received a ring to wear in the first place. If he had one he would wear it. It was announced that it was a personal choice for him to not have a ring. William would never disrespect his wife by having a ring and not wearing it.

Perhaps Harry will make a different choice to have in a and wear it. We'll never know until that day comes anyway.

 

[Curryong]

We don't know who introduced Harry to Meghan for the first time for the plain and simple reason that we don't know where and when they first met. I've read Toronto, Canada in May, in which case neither of the Yorkies were there and it was more likely to have been one of Meghan's friends. Or it could have been England and that June when Meghan was on a visit.

As far as I know neither Beatrice nor Eugenie know Meghan, though they certainly had socialised with Cressida Bonas and members of her family, and Eugenie introduced Harry to Cress at a music festival in May. Whether they dated seriously before he went to Afghanistan that year is debatable though.

 

[O-H Anglophile]

I don't think it is disrespectful necessarily to not wear your wedding ring even if you have one. Some people's jobs have safety issues wearing rings, other people develop allergies to metal and some who never wore a ring before find they don't like wearing a ring. None of that means you are disrespecting your spouse,

Right, it's really interesting to me that we still don't know when they met/started dating. The only confirmed information is that they'd been dating for a "few months" by November via the statement.

 

[Countessmeout]

We have no idea when they connected. They could have met in May when he was in Toronto for Invictus. Doesn't mean they started dating back then. Meghan is said to be friends with Sophie Trudeau (she definitely is with Jessica Mulroney who styles Sophie) and may have met via her.

She could have met through friends when she was in London for Wimbledon in the summer. Possibly both. Perhaps they met in Toronto and reconnected when she was in London. From her talk with Piers, we know she wasn't serious with anyone yet. Doesn't mean they weren't talking just not dating as in calling each other boyfriend girlfriend.

It's highly unlikely the Yorks had anything to do with it. We have no reason to believe Meghan met either until recently.

As for ring, nothing insulting. Many men who have them don't wear. My dad lost his golfing early in marriage and never bothered to replace. Married 45 years. Then again my mother didn't wear hers for twenty years as she lost the centre diamond in her engagement. Instead of replacing, she just wore her family ring. My dad replaced the diamond with a better one for her sixtieth but she got so used to not wearing it, only wears special occasions.

 

[Osipi]

Well... if Harry doesn't want to wear a ring, I have another solution. My son and his wife did something totally unique and that was having a barcode (as you see on products in a grocery store for scanning) tattooed on their left wrists with the numerals being their wedding date.

 

[Spectator]

I dont think they met in Toronto.It doesn't add up because when Harry was in Toronto, Meghan wasn't but I'm basing this on Instagram pics

 

[Pranter]

It's only disrespectful to not wear a ring if you are doing something against your vows or you promised to wear one and don't.

My husband doesn't wear one due to his job ...married almost 30 years now. As long as the couple are okay with it...doesn't matter to anyone else.

Seems like 'we' had already figured out where they met? Some charity event or something Harry was at...?

If we believe tabloids, they did indeed meet in May in Toronto. And were introduced by her good friend Mark
