hopefully heir today and more tomorrow!
Prince Harry
Take this with a grain of salt but it might be of interest to some members
I was joking.
And you know that producing heirs is a important thing in a hereditary Monarchy.
Excuse me? What century are we in?
Who's forcing marriage on them? We know Henry plays the waiting game because he was with Chelsy for so long and didn't propose.
I'll wait till I see the ring on her finger.
Royal Engagement: Prince Harry to Get Engaged to GF Cressida Bonas ?Before the Year is Out? - Entertainment & Stars
Well it must be official...no really, it must! Giraffe, will you take your place next to me for this momentous event? YOU promised!!! Hahahaha!
I shall look for sales on the promised toaster. And a suitable hat for the event.
LoL have any of you read the article about kate feuding with Cressida
i hate when i read things like that it seems the only women Kate doesn't have a problem with is the queen going by the tabloids
i think it would be cute if he gave her a ruby ring though
I visualize the ideal woman in Harry's life to be someone who shares a common experience, namely, the military. He seems to acclimate well to that life and I'm sure this has fostered some very deep and close relationships with his colleagues. If there's a particular lady in his company he's grown fond of, why shouldn't they try to make a go of it if they hit it off? Just think of all they can discuss: armaments, sorties, helicopters, how best to take care of one's uniform and accoutrements in the desert heat etc. They can practice hand-to-hand combat together, too, always a stress release in between royal duties if they do marry! Maybe she'd be the ideal lady to sort him out and get him away from his hard partying and outlandish behavior.
Why shouldn't the future Duchess be allowed a career in the military? Several royal dukes have done so. Women with children have done so as well. What's good for the gander is good for the goose. And the non-royal geese as well.
That sounds more like something you'd talk with a friend or colleague with, then your spouse.
I also don't see a career military giving it up for gowns, jewels and ribbon cuttings. Harry may be the spare, but his wife will be expected to live a life like Kate, and have a kid or two. There may be some less restrictions, but I dont see the future Duchess being allowed to be a career soldier IMO. We also see, that while Harry enjoys his military times, his social circles are very different.
I don't understand. Many people marry members of the same profession they are in. Lawyers, doctors, accountants, teachers, etc., who marry each other discuss issues that arise in the course of their work.
Just because it hasn't been done before, doesn't mean it can't be done now. Maybe it's time for a change. Time to set new precedents. Time to change people's expectations.
Ann's husband managed to stay in job ... so it has been done before ;-) I wonder though, if Harry might appreciate such a dedication. After all I remember vaguely that he wasn't too happy to be alone on his jubilee tour. Didn't he mention somewhere that he wasn't being allowed to bring a partner along whereas his brother had Kate at his side?
Prince Harry's wife will be a HRH, people will expect to see her doing "Royal" work.
Maybe it's time for a change of mindset. Why should a greater burden necessarily be imposed on the woman marrying a Royal man?
I agree with you Roslyn but I suspect there won't be a change in the near future. Was it not one of the reasons Chelsy left? She was reported to have said that she did not want a life like Kate's. The other reason was all the public scrutiny. She hated being mobbed by crowds and having the paps everywhere.
This makes me think the role as Henry's wife would not accommodate her career.
I remember I asked in another thread about her being a scientist doing research for a UK university, for example. It seems to raise less issues.
