I'm not sure why you are leaning that direction Mbruno.

Do I detect a hint of irony in the Duchess of Cornwall's remarks ? Add to that the very protocol comments by the Duchess of Cambridge and it makes me think that the other ladies in the family may be not so enthusiastic about Harry's choice after all.

I was surprised to learn they were in Botswana in the past. I actually like they went so soon after dating. Having a long distance relationship and having little ways to have privacy it makes a lot of sense. It makes the use of a Botswana diamond even more special.
I am just reacting to their comments and to the DM's take on the story, which I think is a fair point.

BTW, see below the Cambridge English dictionary definitiion of "gush". i.e. the verb used in the DM's headline:

Ok there's no sound but this is cute...taken after the end of the interview
It seems like no comment would be taken as they are. Kate's 'protocol' comments aren't good, and Camilla's gushing comments are not sincere. What would've bern the appropriate comment from them?
I'm making my bets on both ladies being happy and thrilled for Harry, and his choice of woman, Meghan.
To those who are still detracting, I say this: Meghan will take to her new role like a duck to water, but even if she didn't, I actually believe that Harry loves his fiancée enough to forfeit his place in the line of succession, and live privately, supported financially by his father and brother rather modestly. IF. But they're going to be a brilliant team.

To me it looks as if Harry at some point says there was one moment in the interview that he felt they (he?) said something wrong but other than that he was happy with the interview.
I do like Camilla's response a bit better than Catherine's (that seemed rather impersonal and general with her 'every couple would be...') but they are different people.It seems like no comment would be taken as they are.

It seems that William, Catherine and Harry have made it a point NOT to comment too much in public about each other's private lives (recently, Harry deflected questions about Catherine's pregnancy) as they seem to think that is not their place. Based on the engagement interview I don't have any worries that they don't get along or wouldn't be happy with Harry's choice.
So, yes, I am quite sure they are genuinely happy for Harry that he found and is engaged to be married to the person he wants to spend his life with!
I cannot wait to see Harry and Meghan and the Cambridge’s together. For so long there was just the trio. Now that’s all officially changed.
I believe that we'll see the two couples together for engagements with the Royal Foundation now and then. ?
I can't imagine what else....too late for luncheon and to early for tea (with the Queen).
