Well, perhaps one Windsor is enough for the Middleton family, too!
that would be hard to believe though.. but who knows..

i like Cressida for Harry.. she has all the credentials to be a perfect consort (intelligent, aristocratic, and well connected).. not saying that all potential brides from aristocratic backgrounds would be perfect consorts for royals though, but they are much preferred due to their familiarity with royal circles and protocols..
Why do people assume that just because someone belongs to an aristocratic family they must be familiar with royal circles and protocol? We have hundreds of families in the UK from the old hereditary peerage and God knows how many from the life peerage, baronetage and knights. I would wager a bet at least 95% had never even met a member of the BRF let alone move in the same circles and know about royal protocol.
Wasn't Cressida's sister caught with some drugs a few weeks ago?
Lady Diana Spencer was even more aristocratic and well-connected, and we all know how that turned out.
I'm not sure what evidence there is of Cressie's intelligence, but I'm willing to examine whatever is presented.
Personally, given her family of origin, Mum and Dad married several times, siblings, half-siblings everywhere, I think Cressie would be my last choice for Harry. She doesn't know what a stable, long-term marriage is, and can't model it.
So, a Middleton?What Harry needs, aristocrat or not, is woman who is familiar with a stable family life. A woman who knows what is expected of her as a senior member of the BRF. Someone who is discreet. Her family better be discreet as well.
From my personal point of view, it is best if Harry does not marry a royal or a girl from a noble family who shares genes with him. He should follow his brother and find an outstanding commoner.
I don't think the aristocratic pedigree matters. The likelihood of him marrying someone so closely related that genetics will make a difference is slim.
As for the whole commoner/aristocrat argument it doesn't make a difference one way or another. There have been great royal consorts without (or with minimal) aristocratic pedigree, there have been great royal consorts with aristocratic pedigree. Likewise, there have been disasters on both fronts.
I still think he missed the boat by not snatching up Holly Branson. He really would have satisfied the old tradition of marrying a Virgin bride.
I am waiting to see if he takes off to South Africa after the US tour.
So, a Middleton?
Geez.
