They're planning a vow renewal, according to "a source".

Speaking to Heat, the source reportedly said: "They're looking at various venues and figuring out the type of ceremony they want, as well as how many guests to invite.

"Meghan's mum Doria will be on the list, but she'll be the only family member.

I rather have doubts about this ~ if they’re planning anything, I would think it might be a christening service for Lilibet.

That would indeed make much more sense.

Which couple would need another ceremony to confirm their commitment to each other (as they already did twice; at their wedding and a few days prior)? You need to be either rather unsure or needy to do so - especially so shortly after marriage. It's not like they are celebrating their silver anniversary or so...

If the speculation turns out to be true (and I doubt that it is true)

then possibly it's content for Netflix? However that seems a bit far fetched IMO.

I agree that the next celebration that the couple would be planning is their daughter's christening.

With regard to Harry’s recent three day trip to Mozambique it was to do with his work with African Parks.

A spokesperson for Harry said his visit was in his role as president of conservation NGO African Parks.

?They added that the Duke welcomed and co-hosted a group of US officials, conservationists, and philanthropists to tour protected wildlife and nature areas.

Harry is not thought to have been joined by his wife for the trip to the African nation.

According to the Instagram account @moz_paparazzi, he viewed tourist attractions with friends and spoke with the President of the Tourism Association in the area Yassin Amuji during his visit.?

I’m sure he did an excellent job co-hosting these visitors.

I don't think it is that far fetched. They can't have their daughter's christening on Netflix, especially if the Prince of Wales and/or the Queen are in attendance. But they can share a "vow renewal" ceremony, especially if the Royal Family is not invited, which is what has been suggested.

That is nice. Really curious that this trip has gotten zero exposure. Intentional do you think? I mean the whole.point is exposure.

I'm not sure what more "exposure" you think is missing? It was reported.

Claire · #**1650** 08-22-2022, 03:41 PM

I think the reason it has not received exposure is that he is with Senators and House of representative officials. They are providing the security and probably have said that prewarning's and drip feeding of the press was not allowed in this case. I would think if anyone had leaked it - the tour would have been pulled and Harry needs this footage and this networking. So I expect them to play along here.

He is with who? It is the organisations themselves that are realising it on their own social media…to get attention they need I warrant but the media appear to have zero interest. Perhaps media in the actual countries are interested.

Seems to be an interview type podcast with Serena Williams. I thought it would be one of those brilliant ones which deep dives into the history of issues like the excellent Hysteria. The one on audible.

But okay best of luck with it.

A few thoughts on the podcast

- Meghan has a very nice voice for podcast. You can understand why she did voiceover work before.
- Many people on twitter and elsewhere were giving Meghan the side eye for not delivering the Podcast earlier in the summer after she posted a teaser in the spring. Now we know, she was waiting for Serena to announce her retirement so she can include it in the podcast!
- She included a re-telling of the story from when she was 11yo and writing letters about a sexist TV commercial at the beginning of the podcast. I found that a little bit self-aggrandizing. It is a well known story and a bit worn out. Also it made it sounds like she did it all by herself, and did not give credit to the adults in her life like her mom or teacher.
- I liked the rest of the podcast. The interview with Serena was good. She is amazing and I can relate to her struggle to be a good mom while meeting her other professional responsibilities.
- I want to hear from the professor Dr. Kray, but I'm a geek that way.

- I can't wait to hear next week's episode with Mariah Carey!

Curryong · #**1655** 08-23-2022, 06:34 PM

I thought it was an interesting podcast. Great that she managed to capture Serena Williams as her first guest, and I too am looking forward to hearing Mariah Carey. Hope the washing liquid story is the last we hear of it though!

FigTree · #**1656** 08-23-2022, 06:45 PM

I didn’t think it was very good. To have Serena Williams discuss her experiences is infinitely interesting. So really it should have been an interview to work and perhaps have a focus of ambition as a negative stereotype…Archetype doesn’t really work as a title. It didn’t do that for me. I mean what is it? A cosy chat? Or a dive into these stereotypes. Is Meghan the interviewer or is it a vehicle for her experiences along with celebrity friend. I thought it was amateurish but that is obviously the vibe they are going for. Cosy at home with the Sussexes. It was odd. I don’t really care about the washing up liquid and quite honestly not about the fire thing either. Child wasn’t in room and no one was harmed.

Perhaps they will have the ceremony three days before the one they have for the world!

A couple who are desperate for attention? Something to put on Netflix?

Curryong · #**1659** 08-24-2022, 05:44 AM

How do we know anything to do with this supposed commitment ceremony is true? Because it happens to be about Harry and Meghan? Have either of them spoken about it themselves or is it mere tabloid speculation.

In a world full of podcasts why would you listen to this? No doubt it will be popular but only because everyone wants Meghan to say something awful about the Royals. Once thats been milked dry and recycled, what does it have? Unless she turns into an excellent interviewer. Here’s another review, yes i know it’s the Daily fail
