Prince Harry's Wedding Ring - Will Prince Harry Wear a Wedding Band? (http://www.townandcountrymag.com/style/jewelry-and-watches/a14764387/prince-harry-wedding-ring/?src=socialflowTW)
Quote
It's unfair for just one ring to get all the attention in a wedding, don't you think?
Now that we've all had a look at the ring Prince Harry gave to Meghan Markle when he asked her to marry her?and heard the sweet story behind the stones?it's time to wonder whether the groom will wear a ring of his own.
While Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, is rarely seen without her iconic sapphire and diamond engagement ring (which once belonged to Princess Diana) and her gold wedding band, astute anglophiles have taken notice that her husband, Harry's brother William, chooses not to wear anything.
According to British and European royalty expert Marlene Koenig, ?there is no royal tradition for men wearing or not wearing a wedding ring.? Rather, it's a personal preference. Prince William has chosen not to wear his, although his father, Prince Charles, did during his marriage to Lady Diana Spencer?and continued to wear it on his signet finger, after her death.

Great, would not expect the least.
I think Prince Seeiso was confirmed as a guest a little while ago, wasn't he? I seem to remember him talking on a video about Harry, Sentebale and the Press and making a couple of remarks about attending the wedding then. In fact I believe I posted on it.
What a load of old cobblers that article from The Star is!

Definition of 'old cobblers'.
cobblers awls = balls Originally cockney rhyming slang. Nowadays in Britain and Australia it just means nonsense or BS.

?Eugenie and Jack's wedding is likely to be traditional.?
The royal expert also believes Meghan?s wedding will reflect her ?fantastically stylish? fashion choices ? but remains cautious in predicting what Eugenie will wear.
Mr Fitzwilliams added: ?Meghan is fantastically stylish and will have an extremely significant influence on fashion as Kate does.
?Eugenie and her sister are well known for fashion faux pas and hopefully Jack will provide some needed guidance in this area.?

These articles coming out since H&M's engagement are so obvious in their intent & the "journalists" seem to not be aware of their own biases.
Mr. Fitzwilliams is drumming up to the tune of the November 26 2017 reports of the BP briefing/meeting of H&M, QEII and staff that the couple want a none traditional wedding.
The only way to find out what will be none and traditional is May 19 2018.

Parvin, who was tasked with designing Zara Phillips' 2011 bridal gown, is currently the bookies' favourite to design the Suits actress's frock.
The royal favourite, who is now evens (odds of 1 to 1) to get the prestigious job, has overtaken other prime contenders including Roland Mouret, Erdem and Alexander McQueen.

The future royal intends to break from tradition by delivering a speech at her reception after the wedding ceremony on May 19.
Meghan, 36, plans to deliver an ?affectionate? tribute to her new husband, Prince Harry, 33, as well as thanking the Queen along with her friends and family, revealed the Sunday Times.
I'm sure the invites are in the mail right now! :P
As for Mike's nose, both he and Zara seem to like the club bouncer look as he's never had it fixed. I've often wondered how he can possibly breathe through it.
I always imagine it sounds like a pug or french bulldogs nose... :lol:
QuoteShe's more than just Prince Harry's girlfriend': Priyanka Chopra praises best friend Meghan Markle for modernising the monarchy as she hints she'll be part of the bridal party
By Rebecca Davison for MailOnline - January 31st 2018, 12:11:54 pm
She's best friends with Suits star Meghan Markle and Priyanka Chopra was full of praise for Prince Harry's fianc?e in a new interview.
Priyanka Chopra, a friend of Meghan (from the collection of new friends developed when she landed Suits) hinted in her latest interview she will be part of the bridal party.
Will she? Good! As for friendships, well, they're funny things. I, as a migrant, left a large circle of colleagues, friends and workmates when I left England for Australia decades ago.
Although I went back over the years, some of those friendships remained, some frayed and went to Xmas card status, some disappeared. None of those friendships dated from my schooldays and only one or two from university.
I made more friendships when I settled in Australia but inevitably some have waxed and some waned.
My second daughter married and had children late. Three friendships dating back to her schooldays have now gone. Why? Because two of her friends have older children and are at a different stage of their lives. Not much left to talk about. One has never had children and she and her husband live a carefree life, very different to a couple like my daughter and husband with very young twins.
My daughter is a very caring person and really tried all the way along with those relationships but without success. She has made friends through her parttime work and mothers' group. Will they last throughout her lifetime? Don't know, but probably not.
Meghan has a couple of friends from her Uni days. Most are new. I can understand that because of my own experiences and that of my daughter. My other daughter has friends who are mostly work colleagues and neighbours. She has one friend from schooldays. One out of about a dozen. My son has friends through a hobby and one friend from kindergarten days that has lasted.
Not everyone's friends are there for a lifetime. People change, circumstances and interests change. People move away and forget. That's life.

Likely DM clickbait, but it seems to be a bit out of place for them to be talking to the press about it, im ASSUMING that invitations have not been sent out yet, am I right on that? If it was late April and this was in the news, OK.
On an aside, while im not suggesting he go to the "Human Ken Doll" level of plastic surgery, man Mike needs to get that nose straightened, I know its likely a badge of bride when playing Rugby, but I didnt think the Rf was going for the nightclub bouncer look, all he needs is that lame headset and too tight black tshirt..."nah mate, youre not on the list" :lol: :lol: :lol:
This is such a non story. It's far too early for invitations to go out!!! IMO Mike is just as likely to get a nose job as Harry is at getting a transplant. :lol:
^^Priyanka Chopra does not live in Toronto, she lives between New York and India. A long distance friendship, I bet they do not know each other well compared to long term friendships, which again Meghan seems to have broken that set of friends within 1 year after she landed Suits. Source: articles (news sites to magazine interviews of people gushing after H&M engagement) with information of new collection of friends that are 1-2 year to a max of 5 years of acquaintance.
I suppose wedding day we will get to see her new collection of friends and perhaps a few long term ones?!
***
Also it seems Priyanka was sanctioned allowed to speak in this interview by Meghan Team. If not, I highly doubt she would have been interviewed at all, the piece is centered on Meghan and Harry's wedding rather than a new acting project, whatever.

@KENSINGTONPALACE/TWITTER
Priyanka Chopra, actress and close friend of Meghan Markle, has vaguely addressed rumours that she will be part of Meghan?s bridal party at the royal wedding, telling Harper?s Bazaar Arabia: ?If you see me there, you?ll know.?
Though American Meghan Markle comes from a country where it is traditional for a bride to ask her closest friends to stand by their side on their big day, royal expert Marlene Koenig suggests that there?s a big chance we won?t see Chopra in the bridal part as ?most royal brides do not have adult bridesmaids?It would be unusual for a royal bride to have a woman in her late 30s as a maid or matron of honour.?
However, there is precedent for a break with royal tradition as the Duchess of Cambridge had her sister, Pippa, stand as her maid of honour and Prince William asked Prince Harry to serve as his best man. Combined with Prince Harry and Ms Markle?s penchant for breaking with royal protocol there is a good chance that they will follow Will and Kate?s lead and make their own rules for their big day.

I believe that we'll see a mix of young and adult aged attendants in the bridal party. :)

Prince Harry and Meghan will marry during two retrogrades | Daily Mail Online (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-5336427/Prince-Harry-Meghan-marry-TWO-retrogrades.html)
QuoteEven the stars and the planets will be aligned for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal wedding, which will take place during a significant planetary movement and two retrogrades.
The 33-year-old royal and the 36-year-old Suits star will say 'I do' at St. George?s Chapel at Windsor Castle on May 19, 2018 and the date couldn't be more perfect, astrologically speaking. On their wedding day, Venus ? the planet of love ? will move into Cancer, the zodiac sign representing home and family.
Janet Booth, a Connecticut-based astrologist who helps couples pick their wedding dates, told Bustle that the movement of Venus into Cancer is a great astrological merger for a couple who wants to focus on family
Yes, it is quite good, astrologically speaking, although as several of the planets mentioned are what is known as outer planets, it's not likely to make much difference to the bride and groom. Neither planet rules their sign, and Pluto is a generational planet, very slow-moving, so a generation shares its astrological position. It's sweet that Venus will move into Cancer on that day, though they will probably be already married by mid-afternoon when it does so.
Wonder if the stars were consulted for the timing, idk if Harry follows them like his mum, it strikes me that Meghan would be into that sort of thing.
Harry 'adamant' aunt Sarah Ferguson isn't invited to his wedding to Meghan Markle (https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/5494307/prince-harry-snubs-sarah-ferguson-meghan-markle-wedding/)
QuotePRINCE Harry has not invited aunt Sarah Ferguson to his wedding to Meghan Markle, The Sun on Sunday can reveal.
Invites to the 600 guests who have made the guestlist for the royal event of the year will be sent out this week - but The Duchess of York will not be receiving one.
How do they know she isn't invited? If she wasn't invited because of PP then Harry should remind him that Sarah gave him two of his Grandchildren & he really needs to get over her mistakes since he has made many himself.
She has been out of the Royal family as a divorced in law for a very long time, nearly a couple of decades now. I think they've all got the memo. No fraternising with Fergie or suffer the wrath of Khan from Grandpa.
Fergie wasn't invited to William's nuptials either and fled to Thailand. It's a bit of a shame, as Harry's very close to his Yorkie cousins, but if PP puts his foot down what are they to do?
I remember at the London Olympics Harry and some officials were seated in one corner of a deserted stand watching a team practice. Along came Fergie and her two girls. They sat at right angles on the opposite side of this huge stand with acres of space between them. Fergie and Harry both wore sunglasses and stared straight ahead. The two Princesses kept looking back to try and catch their cousin's eye but no luck!
There'll be a lot of royals staring into space at the October wedding, I think. The atmosphere at the reception between them and the bride's mother is likelier to be as icy as a polar bear's toe nail, IMO.

'Not on the list' Meghan Markle and Harry give Sarah Ferguson wedding invite SNUB
'Not on the list' Meghan Markle and Harry give Sarah Ferguson wedding invite SNUB | Royal | News | Express.co.uk (https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/914187/royal-family-news-prince-harry-meghan-markle-donald-trump-sarah-ferguson-royal-wedding)
I've observed over the years on forums that, when it comes to Fergie, those from 'across the pond' are a lot more forgiving of all those mishaps and boo boos of hers over the years than British people. Brits tend to dwell on her vulgarities and the embarrassment she's brought again and again to the BRF.
So let me just give the British side of Sarah not being a guest at Harry and Meghan's wedding. As far as the BRF are concerned I believe they just want a day with no tension, a day they can enjoy a family wedding. There would be tension if Sarah turned up with the rest of the Yorks. Prince Philip, a man in his late nineties would be seriously annoyed.
Sarah has been divorced from Andrew for at least twenty years. How many people invite ex brothers in law, sisters in law to family weddings in which the children they share with a family member aren't playing a major part?
In many ways any pathway back into the Royal family, like attending a major wedding, could be treated by Fergie as a major PR and commercial opportunity. More interviews, more chances to get back on TV, sell things. The royals are wary of her. She is exuberant. Things come tumbling out of her mouth even when she doesn't mean them to.
Yes, Harry is friendly with his cousins. However, Beatrice and Eugenie have long been used to going to Royal events without their Mum. This is just one more. They are not likely to dissolve into despair and oceans of tears because of it.
Yes, Harry has stayed at the Yorks' ski chalet. It's actually his uncle Andrew's property just as much as it is Fergie's and how long ago was it when Harry stayed there last anyway? At the beginning of the Cressida romance in 2012, I think. That's quite a while ago, and IMO Harry doesn't 'owe' Fergie an invite for helping put him up there years ago.
So IMO it's up to the bride and groom and the family who are paying for this to decide who to invite. If that means Fergie's a no show, well then she'll just have to suck it up and look forward to October, when she will play a major role in Eugenie's wedding and the Royal family will just have to bite their lips.
I wonder if Sarah's recent messages on social media and her open letter to Jack confirmed Harry's misgivings about issuing an invitation? Come October everyone will put on their best behavior for Eugenie and. Jack 's wedding. Good thing that it won't be broadcast.
^ It may have, TLLK. I do think Andrew had a word and told her to cut it out! I just think the Royal family have seen all the OTT behaviour over the years and don't want any gushy interviews about these particular nuptials. Imo Fergie just wouldn't be able to stop. She can just restrain herself until October. It shouldn't be that hard.
Oh God...not the snub wars again. :notamused: It is this nonsense that sets up the BRF to fail. If you pretend you are perfect, don't be amazed when people highlight all your faults when you fall. That family should be the last to persecute anyone because they are "undignified". For the last 30 years, the family has been anything but dignified telling all sorts to all sorts.
QuoteSarah has been divorced from Andrew for at least twenty years. How many people invite ex brothers in law, sisters in law to family weddings in which the children they share with a family member aren't playing a major part
I have to agree
@Curryong. Should Mark Phillips or Charles Spencers' ex-wives Victoria and Caroline who themselves are parents of Harry's Windsor/Spencer first cousins be expecting an invitation as well? At some point I do believe you can say no to someone on your guest list especially if you have concerns about their behavior. TBH I'm not sure if Sarah is capable of restraining herself.
Sarah will obviously be present at Eugenie's wedding in October, there will be an opportunity to make polite conversation with her then. IMHO Andrews, Beatrice and Eugenie are all aware of the reasons why Sarah would not be invited.
Quote from: royalanthropologist on February 04, 2018, 01:42:55 PM
The Windsors suffer from an unedifying mean streak. Started with the treatment of Wallis Simpson and it has shown them up time and again. I really wish Wallis had a much longer life, if only to be able to laugh at them for the obvious hypocrisy. Sarah is a naughty girl but she is definitely not the worst of the bunch. If all Phillips' shenanigans were opened to the public, he too might be an embarrassment.
Some great posts
@TLLK @Curryong and
@royalanthropologist and give RA a hand for seeing both sides of the RF, as given her fav royal, one couldnt blame her for trying to downplay any of the items in her posts, so kudos.
I agree with
@Curryong and appreciate the UK side of Fergie, as like Diana, the US tends to give them a pass, as I think they enjoyed seeing the RF become more "regular" without really understanding the RF.
I think a lot boils down to PP's mean streak, until he dies, Fergie will be banished, much like when QM was alive C&C couldnt marry. Also in the case of Harry's wedding, theres the case of Fergie and Diana being no speaks when she died. Now he may know the reason why and im sure hes heard Fergies apologies and wish theyd have patched things up, but he is very outspoken about his mum and he may feel hed be crossing her from beyond if he invites Fergie, idk.
At the very least hes got likely another 5 years living with PP, Fergie is out fo the picture and "will keep" until he dies if theres going to be any further closeness. Also the spate of social media posts likely put the final nail in for any slight chance of an invite, worried shed have her mouth open everywhere and hogging every microphone in sight LOL.
I think Fergie should stop playing the victim and focus on whatever her and Andrew are going to do when PP dies.

She can just restrain herself until October. It shouldn't be that hard.
Also it is likely that there have been problems between Sarah and other members of the family that have remained private (as they should) but have made it difficult for Harry to feel comfortable inviting her.
Sometimes weddings can provide an opportunity for family reunions and forgiveness. Maybe W&H are not into that sort of thing and would prefer to continue with the age old family feuds. It is rather sad that young people should be involved in the battles of their elders. Sarah is not exactly going to perform a strip-tease routine on the wedding. She might blog about it and even gush...but that is all. Sarah is not malicious.
Now talk about dysfunction and the Markle family is going to give the Windsors a run for their money. The family is inviting and disinviting itself before the official invitations are even out :hehe: :teehee: This is going to be such a fun royal summer with the BRF. :lol:
According to Richard Palmer's Twitter Page of a few hours ago journalists at the Express have found out that Harry is quite prepared to invite Sarah but the invitations haven't even been sent out yet. So heaven knows what's going on! (If they haven't been sent out then they will be soon. Three and a half months to go and invitations to Royal nuptials are usually sent well in advance.)
All the Markles need gags! I didn't bother to watch it but Samantha has been on an Aussie tv programme tonight doing one of her about-turns, being all sweet and reasonable but dropping pellets of poison in a long interview about Meghan. That woman is just the pits. She wants her fifteen minutes of fame so badly she can almost taste it.
My personal thoughts, and if I were H&M, I'd send Sarah Ferguson an invitation to both the wedding ceremony and reception. IF Harry is advised by BP that PP...then he should speak directly to his Aunt Sarah, and send her the invite to the reception only, as granpa surely will not be ' dancing the night away'.
Usually after the morning service, there's a 3-5 hour resting/changing period for the reception.
I am sure Harry will do the right thing, it will be very odd if he doesn't, as later in the year he inevitably will see his Aunt at his cousin Eugenie's wedding ceremony and reception. How can one have a straight cordial face after being hosted at her 1/2 ownership chalet, then snubbing her at your own wedding, then going to the wedding of your cousin - shake hands and hug at the reception family lineup where Andrew, Sarah, Eugenie, Jack and his parents will be there!
As for why W&K didnt invite and H&M may/will, I think a lot has to do with their cousins wedding this yr, like
@wannable said, hard even for the royals for H&M to act all chummy in October after snubbing Sarah at their wedding. Also it raises the sticky question of the DoE going to that wedding in October if Sarah is snubbed from this one.
I totally get where
@Curryong is coming from with the UK's view of Sarah and shes not helped herself with her social media diarrhea :lol: but it might be a chance for everyone to be seen as the bigger people and it really wont cost a lot, its not like theyd put Sarah next to PP in seating and such.
Its just unfortunate timing with both weddings happening this year thats made it a bit stickier.

A wise and sensible option
@royalanthropologist .
Apparently Samantha Markle will be live as a Royal Wedding Correspondent to H&M wedding. (As I said a couple of months ago, some USA TV network, Magazine or News site was going to pay the 'all inclusive' for Sam to travel, hotel, food, and now a salary)

Claims to want privacy, the best for her half-sister and not to be cashing in, yet (I?m told) has signed a $40k deal to be a ?wedding correspondent? on a morning TV show and accepted a $3k-per-week newspaper retainer
I had a funny feeling that she'd receive an offer from someone to give some color commentary. :wacko:
I bet Sam will use part of that money to help her dad Thomas, and that will be her "next" story, How Wheelchair Bound Sam helped daddy, whilst Princess Meghan (pushy or whatever flavor she wakes up with) will tell all to whoever pays.
It does not happen only to Meghan. To put it mildly.
No, the scary part is Sam is a writer, producer, actress as a long term profession, was savy enough to get this.
She is no butler or a none related career, hence she seems to know what to do next, to make the $$$.
And there will be tabloids willing to pat for her "work."
Yes, and with credentials too*. Only one RC tweeted she was a nobody to write or speak in news or TV, oops, deleted...so live tv if she is a hit, scary times. :happycry:
I think the groom and bride wedding day should be a happy one with no sour grapes reporting. Hopefully Sam will wake up May 19 with the right footing. :partaay:
*People were full on focused on Meghan, they (some but not all the news editors) forgot or did not investigate that Sam has the same daddy schooling in Hollywood, with the difference that Sam is a writer, screenplay writer, producer, you name it like for the past 30 years. Because of her ailment, she has had to spend quite all in her treatment, but she has done well to have been able to purchase a nice one floor house with gardens in Florida.
She seems to be making a cottage industry trashing her sister.
Honestly. That sister is a piece of work :notamused:

2nd article (RE yes invited but did not explain or give credit to RP Express)
3rd article to not lose credibility and that of her BP source, explains confusion and the BP/KP wars.
The conclusion is Rebecca English's source is from Buckingham Palace, whilst Richard Palmer's source is from Kensington Palace, to finger point the later, someone from Harry's team!
It's been well known for years that the teams at the Palace, KP and CH are at odds. I should think that the people at KP know better than those at the Palace as to who Harry is inviting or who he isn't. And how do we know that Andrew hasn't been kicking up a stink with his mother about Sarah always being left out in the cold, causing a change of heart? No Royal Correspondents know exactly what's going on. Sometimes they just get a hint and run with it in their newspaper and are later proved wrong.
That may very well be true but you also have to acknowledge that DM is fond of making up these negative stories based on "a source close to the family" or "unnamed sources" or "a well connected source". Then later on they turn round and say it is not true, before claiming credit for the new story. All the while, they make it appear as if members of the BRF have been left "damaged" or "reeling" after a series of inaccurate, inflammatory and quite frankly libelous articles from the media.
It is all a game and started when Rupert Murdoch tried to run the monarchy into a soap opera. You need protagonists, antagonists, pantomime villains and secret plots to run a soap opera. The media makes them up if they do not have the real thing. For nearly 2 decades the BRF has kept a very tight ship with everyone on song. I am sure the media is not happy about that. They want juicy family gossip and falling out so that they can sell based on the never-ending soap-opera.
Rebecca did not mention CH but BP. A mini war between KP and BP does not bode well for Harry's present and future. I hope this mini war does not escalate...Rebecca is rubbing hurt ego of BP in her latest, her point, she can't lose her BP contact, her salary and employment is at stake.
Could also be too that the DM stuck their foot in the trap with all the "Sarah is snubbed" stories and now they have to chew their foot off to get out, so to speak. Likely she was due to come to at least the reception from the get go. The ceremony...well maybe they're going to use it for PP to get acclimated to Fergie in time for Octobers wedding.
I am 100% sure there is a "Mini War" between the Monarchs QEII household BP versus the third household, particularly Harry's team in KP. (There is no at odds with CH, because CH pays the KP household, both CH and KP is paid by the Duchy of Cornwall, Prince of Wales, Prince Charles)
Rebecca English REACTED with her 3rd article explaining the BP/KP Harry mini war, because of this, also she is the Royal Correspondent and Royal Editor of the biggest paper, Daily Mail, hence my above explanation posts, she put out there that her source is BP, whilst Richard's was KP, hence Harry watch out!:

Our website has been carrying an alternative story all day. But, like many stories it carries, that was just cut and pasted from another paper unchecked. This is my understanding of the position. Invitations are not due to go out for some time yet.
This is a problem across the industry particularly with web journalism, I?d say. There is a rush to copy what rivals have written without making checks. I?m trying to do something about it because I believe newspapers have to be trusted sources to survive.
Nobody Special
@nobutanousewife
Agree totally, but I'd also add on to your comment about newspapers needing to be trusted sources in that newspapers also need to have trusted sources too. In the case of the RF, your info should always come from the official source and not 'an insider'.

All that matters is that you are confident that your source is correct imo. Official ones can be wrong and unofficial ones right.
Richard is not trashing Rebecca, he is simply stating that his source said something different to her source; one may be right whilst the other may be wrong....so we have 2 households giving both RC's completely different information, of course Rebecca had to go running to defend her source, throwing in that 2 sources from different households are at odds.
There may not be a full-blown feud between the people at KP and those at CH, (or Charles HQ as I call it.) However, William sure as hell didn't like it when, in a short-lived experiment, the KP Office was closed and everything put under the aegis of Charles's staff. Things soon went back to he and Harry having a separate office.
Perhaps this was because the Cambridges and Harry get ten times the publicity in the media for their public engagements than Charles and Camilla get, something that has long perturbed Charles. That was more or less hinted at the time and it's clear that William and Harry enjoy having their own separate staff dealing with them alone.
They certainly don't always tow the line with regard to CH or probably Charles's own opinion of how things should be done at KP, nor should they. They are certainly inexperienced and sometimes there are snaffus. However, as the Rebecca English stuffup shows, they row their own boat at KP, and if she was relying on a BP source to tell her the truth about Sarah's attendance or no at Harry's wedding without checking sources at KP as well then it's clear she wasn't in the loop.

Depends on his personal preference of aunts, usually Sarah gets tapped for this duty. Although, as a nod to Robert Fellows and the grey suits, she might be asked, but if I were a betting man, id bet on Sarah. Although, I doubt he'll tap either for a reading, likely will come from the Windsor side of the family.

@Curryong-IMO it is frustrating that there are three separate households providing information for the BRF unlike their European counterparts who just have their one official royal source.

@Curryong-IMO it is frustrating that there are three separate households providing information for the BRF unlike their European counterparts who just have their one official royal source.
Yes, TLLK, it does seem very inefficient and of course it's a breeding ground for petty jealousies and little feuds among the staff at the three places and among royals themselves at times.
However, I'm not sure that the European system would work. As far as the media is concerned Scandi and European royalty like the Dutch and Belgians don't have the sheer numbers of inquiries to their offices that say the younger BRF members attract. There is the Commonwealth too and all the interest Royal tours attract, something that's a little different to the European tours to other countries and sometimes requires a half a dozen Press officers. It's a bit different I think to the yearly announcement of the cruise to the Faroes by the DRF for example.
It's a curse as well as a blessing that Britain and the US share a common language. However I think it's true that the BRF is better known than any other Royal House on the North American continent (leaving aside for a minute the Spanish in Central and South America.) The amount of stories and speculation about the Cambridges and Harry and Meghan from press and others in the English-speaking world addressed by KP would IMHO dwarf any questions from other locales addressed to the Offices of most European Royal Houses.
As well, it was well known that Charles was dissatisfied with being lumped in with his parents and siblings and the lesser royals at BP. He wanted to be in charge of his own voice, his own operations. And so do his sons. The system is likely to continue until William becomes POW and perhaps even longer than that.

Will Prince Harry's step-sister get a wedding invite? | Daily Mail Online (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-5367347/Will-Harrys-forgotten-step-sister-wedding-invite.html)
I'd say Camilla's children will almost certainly be there. I will be surprised if they aren't. Plus Eliza Lopes (Laura's little girl) might, just might, get a place as bridesmaid to Meghan if they are going to have a gaggle of littlies that an older girl might have to herd into line. I suppose Eliza must be about ten or eleven years old by now.
I remember on the way back from WA in the carriage she became upset by the noise and crowds and Harry, who was travelling back with the little attendants, produced from his pockets a wiggly worm toy and gave it to her. Eliza refused to be parted from it even when they got back to BP!
It is strange to think of the little Eliza being old enough to be "in charge" because the photo of her as Kate's bridesmaid on the balcony is the one that is frequently shared by the press. However time has moved on and a series of new little Windsors, Phillips and Tindals would now be of age to be in a wedding party. :)

PRINCE HARRY and Meghan Markle will marry in May. While some brides ban ex-girlfriends of the groom from their weddings, this expert claims that modern Meghan will allow Harry to invite Chelsy Davy and Cressida Bonas.
Prince Harry, 33, is set to marry Suits actress Meghan Markle, 36, is just a few months.
The couple have been together for over a year and a half, and have been on various public appearances together since they announced their engagement.
Prince Harry has been linked to various women before Meghan, including Love Island Camilla Thurlow, 28, and TV presenter Caroline Flack.
However, his most serious girlfriends are Cressida Bonas, 28, and Chelsy Davy, 32.
Is Millie good news for H&M? Or is there going to be a second article demeaning Millie's envolvement with Meghan?
I have never watched Made in Chelsea or care for reality shows, nor have read any Millie article, I don't know her.
She is helping her with the wedding. Most likely telling her which company is good for what. It doesn't matter if any of us have heard about her, Meghan has.
Another bridesmaid perhaps.

From the Church of England website: Will I need Godparents?
QuoteAt a christening, godparents stand alongside the parents to make promises on behalf of the child being baptized. At confirmation, there are no godparents because you make the promises for yourself, but you may be asked if you would like a sponsor to stand with you as a supporting friend in your journey of faith. Usually this is someone who has previously been confirmed. It may be one of the people who has prepared you for confirmation, or it may be a youth worker, a good friend, a relative, or a godparent.

Ok. It is off to countdown time. Everything is in place. Best to HnM.
I sooooooooo soooooooooooooo want this couple to make it work out.
I believe that Harry and Meghan's wedding arrivals and departure will be very similar to the Wessex and Phillips' weddings. Autumn arrived by car for the wedding ceremony like Sophie did in 1999 while the Windsors (except the Queen) walked down from the Castle. Short video from Peter and Autumn's wedding departure. They used the same landau that Sophie and Edward did in 1999. The streets around Windsor are narrower than those in London, so I wonder if this landau (black with basket weave side panels) is the one that is most maneuverable?

What American traditions might be included in Harry and Meghan?s wedding? ? Royal Central (http://royalcentral.co.uk/uk/princeharry/what-american-traditions-might-be-included-in-harry-and-meghans-wedding-96130)
QuoteAs more information has been revealed about the 19 May wedding of Prince Harry to Meghan Markle, anticipation continues to grow.
As Meghan was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, and lived for years in Toronto, Canada, it would be natural for her to want to include a few North American traditions in her wedding as a nod to the country that raised her (US) and she made her home (CA), while also adhering to the traditions of her adopted country of the UK. With that being said, let?s take a look at some of the traditions Meghan could choose to include from the other side of the pond.
If Meghan wishes to incorporate some African American wedding traditions into her ceremony or reception, here are a few.

I think the Ascot Landau looks more "low rent" I hope they go with the other one, his parents and brother used it, will be worth the harder navigation, hopefully will only get married once so do it in style.
Here is the 1902 State Landau used in multiple royal processions. IMO it is too large for the narrower streets of Windsor.

QuoteEXCLUSIVE - 'We'll have front row seats for Harry and Meghan's wedding!' Homeless say they won't be budged for the big day as they pitch TENTS next to Windsor Castle
Homeless people living near Windsor Castle have boasted they will have a front row seats for Prince Harry and Meghan's wedding
Tory councillor Simon Dudley said he wanted homelessness 'epidemic' cleared before the royals' big day
But now rough sleepers have dug in their heels and begun pitching tents just yards from the royal castle
They insist they will not be moved because they have nowhere else to go
Twitter users angry at Cllr Dudley's have started the group #royalsleepover promising to take sleeping bags to the wedding to support street dwellers

Meghan Markle news - Where public will see Prince Harry first kiss fiancee at wedding | Royal | News | Express.co.uk (https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/919711/Meghan-Markle-news-Prince-Harry-royal-wedding-kiss-royal-news)
QuoteMEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry will mark their marriage with a public kiss before they head out to meet excited royal wedding watchers, and a royal expert has revealed where it is likely to happen.
What would be the most number of bridesmaids and flower girls Meghan would have?
@LouisFerdinand -It could be any number I guess, but most British royal weddings seem to have between 4-8 little bridesmaids and/or older and a few pages. Princess Anne opted for just one of each: Prince Edward and Lady Sarah Armstrong-Jones.
Recent weddings:
Kate-4 little bridesmaids and one adult maid of honor, with two page boys.
Sophie-2 little bridesmaids and 2 page boys.
Zara-4 young bridesmaids, 1 page boy, 1 adult maid of honor
Meghan Markel Prince Harry wedding: SAS ready to die for royal couple | Royal | News | Express.co.uk (https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/920504/meghan-markle-prince-harry-wedding-Windsor-Castle-SAS-terror-attack)
QuoteAn elite close protection unit made up of 30 SAS soldiers has been assigned to protect the prince and his bride at their Windsor wedding in May.
A handful of the regiment?s most hardened soldiers who have fought in war zones from Iraq to Afghanistan have met with the pair to discuss the arrangements, the Daily Star reported.
War technology will be bought in, including US-designed bullets which can change course mid-flight to follow a moving target.
The smart bullets known as EXACTO ? Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance - will be paired with the latest sniper rifles for the nuptials at Windsor Castle. Using the latest equipment for the battlefield, the team snipers could strike a target 2,000m meters away 90 percent of the time.
It's all up in the air as to whether Meghan will go with the American habit of adult bridesmaids/matrons of Honour or the modern British Royal fashion of mostly child attendants with perhaps one adult or near-adult to keep them under control.
My guess is that there will be at least four small attendants, mainly because George and Charlotte are certainties I think. Meghan has a couple of little honorary Canadian godchildren and Harry has a small godson, Jake, the son of Mark Dyer. As well, Harry is very fond of Zara Tindall and may ask for Mia as a bridesmaid. Meghan may go for an adult bridesmaid or two, but who I really couldn't say.
I believe that it is possible that we might see Savannah and Isla Phillips involved as bridesmaids too. It would be lovely to see so many of QEII and the DoE's great-grandchildren who are certainly old enough to participate.
Meanwhile at his age, Viscount Severn might be secretly relieved and thrilled if he doesn't have to be involved. :wink:
Rather than James I think Harry would have asked Tiggy's elder son if he'd like to be a pageboy as he is Harry's eldest godson. Can't think of the boy's name at the moment but Harry has been a dutiful godfather, turning up to school events and so on. He would have been a shoe-in if he had been around George's age, but as a near-teen he can now relax and just be a guest with his brother and parents!

QuoteA giant net covered in spikes is among the measures being used by police to prevent a terror attack at the royal wedding.
The 30ft mat to deflate tyres is designed to stop vehicles from targeting crowds in Windsor town centre when Prince Harry marries Meghan Markle.
Thames Valley Police, which will oversee security on May 19, is understood to have bought the X-Net from technology firm QinetiQ.
It punctures tyres and destabilises the wheels of vehicles that drive on to it, the Sunday Star reported.
The device was deployed on two streets in Windsor just before Christmas and then again a couple of weeks ago ? the first time the nets have been used outside London.

"It's not a problem," he said. "The Church of England has clear rules with dealing with that and we've dealt with that.
"We went through that as anyone would who will officiate at a wedding where someone has been separated and a partner is still living."

QuoteSome brides would be intimidated by the presence of the groom?s former girlfriends at their wedding, but Meghan Markle is confident enough to have no such worries.
I hear Prince Harry is to invite his two long-term exes, Chelsy Davy and Cressida Bonas, to his nuptials at Windsor in May.
?Harry has stayed good friends with Chelsy and Cressida, so they will be there,? one of his pals tells me. ?He made sure there were no hard feelings when they split up. I don?t think Meghan will mind.?
Her ex-husband, film producer Trevor Engelson, will not be on the guest list. Unlike Chelsy and Cressie, who have never tried to cash in on their relationships with Harry, Engelson is making a provocative television show about a divorcee who marries a member of the Royal Family.

Meghan Markle's wedding dress likely to be classic | Daily Mail Online (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-5125361/Meghans-wedding-dress-likely-classic-simple.html)
QuoteShe and Prince Harry may have only just announced their engagement, but there is already a huge amount of speculation about what she'll be wearing on the big day.
And now, it has emerged that Meghan Markle has previously hinted at what her dream wedding dress would be.
Before she was revealed to be Prince Harry's girlfriend, the actress, 36, described in an interview how her ideal gown as something that is 'classic and simple', calling Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy's wedding dress her 'everything goals'.
Meanwhile, she also said the fairytale gown worn by her Suits character Rachel Zane was 'not my personal style', saying that she'd prefer something more 'relaxed'.
This suggests that Meghan's wedding dress is likely to be rather different to the Duchess of Cambridge's traditional gown by Alexander McQueen, which she wore to walk down the aisle in 2011.

QuoteIt takes a lot to secure a high-profile wedding, and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle?s big day could cost quite a fortune in terms of security. While most royal wedding details have been kept in utmost secrecy, experts are certain of one thing: security will be topnotch, particularly in the aftermath of the anthrax scare and racist threat that targeted the actress last week.
Given the large crowd witnessing the event and the heavy VIP list that consists of powerful figures and A-list personalities, the ceremony is an attraction for chaos if not handled properly. As a matter of fact, Prince William and Kate Middleton?s wedding security in 2011 added a whopping $33 million to their total bill. According to E! News, the elaborate security system involved undercover police on the ground and snipers positioned on rooftops. Prior to the wedding day, security personnel had to do an extensive investigation on threats or potential threats.

So reports are today her gown will be Alexander McQueen by Sarah Burton costing up to 400 thousand. That is double Kate?s. That is NOT good for MM in the pr dept.
Why why give more hatred, dangerous hatred coming her way.
I really wish she would scale back on the freebies, the riches. Yes, she will be and should afforded them as K is, however, MM is in such a delicate place. She really has no room for any errors.
Where are TPTB, the right advisors. A cap of $250,00O for her wedding gown.
Honeymoon, they, like K and W , already did that few times .
Why not just up to the Scottish highlands.
Make it simpler.
All their life will be a honeymoon.
Now I wouldn't be surprised if Meghan chooses a British designer for her wedding dress and it Sarah Burton certainly has experience with creating a royal wedding gown. It is possible that she might opt for an American designer for the reception though. Now as to the estimated costs of her gowns, I think it is a little early for these reports, so I'm going to take wait and see approach.
The DM is not claiming this story, but Look Magazine from the USA by some Meghan frenemy, although it is Too exorbitant. I hope that is not the price tag, yikes
@FanDianaFancy says the public, any charity or humanitarian approach to the realization of confirmation of this news with a straight face...not.
And if it is, KP should make an official announcement of who is paying for it a la Middleton's did to Kate.
She's on a losing ground too, 6th in line second marriage, rather than future Queen.
There is so many negative bad angles. Oh well.
Meghan Markle wedding dress rumoured to cost ?400k | Daily Mail Online (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-5468257/Meghan-Markle-wedding-dress-rumoured-cost-400k.html)
GPB 400,000 that is in excess of USD 555,500
Look magazine has no credibility whatsoever. It's on a level with the British Star newspaper and is a US publication as well. I don't believe it, and (a) no designer, British, Canadian or whatever, would release that sort of information, and (b) with the chance of world-wide publicity on the gown would charge that kind of price for a wedding dress to a Royal's bride. These kind of dresses are bespoke, and the media can guess all they want but will never know.

I sure hope Meghan remains Meghan & chooses the gown she wants for her big day. Some people she will never please & that makes their "advice" suspicious.
Meghan having earned her own way in life means she can spend her money anyway she chooses.
Kate depending on others for everything meant she had to keep the cost at a minimum. Especially since her parents had gone through a good deal of money stalking a Prince for a decade.
The best thing about Meghan capturing her Prince, all she had to do was walk into the room & Harry was in love. :crazylove:
I remain unconvinced by the Look and the Fail. They don't know the designer yet they know the price of the gown down to the last pound! Really? :hehe:
It is obvious that one of the things the DM will find fault with Meghan through the years will be that she spends to much. :nod:
Yet with Kate it will be "she is recycling again" & never mention a new piece of jewelry that she paid an outlandish price for. :lol:
When the DM has an agenda they go all out for it. :crazylaugh:

Yes and I was just explaining that private would be a much better description for the event. IMO secret implies that this is something that must be hidden away.

IMO the laying of the bridal bouquet at Westminster is silly but I also think the custom of throwing away the bouquet silly. I think the bride should keep it as a memory from her big day. :D

That true it?s tradition royals bridal wouldn?t allowed throw flowers and lied unknown soldiers at Westminster Abbey same Diana and Kate
@sandy I also feel the DM is stirring up a lot of hatred towards Meghan & it could all end badly.
The right wing & Trump stirred up a lot of hate in this country & it has ended in deaths.

The then Duchess of York later Queen Elizabeth began the tradition of leaving the bouquets at the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior at Westminster Abbey. Her brother had been killed in action during WWI. As for other wedding traditions or keepsakes well florists can create additional bouquets for brides to throw so it wouldn't be an issue. However I do believe that even though she's marrying at SGC, Meghan will honor the tradition of respecting the memory of those who lost their lives in service of their nation especially since she's marrying an Army veteran. :)
Westminster Abbey ? Unknown Warrior (http://www.westminster-abbey.org/our-history/people/unknown-warrior)
QuoteWhen the Duke of York (later King George VI) married Lady Elizabeth Bowes Lyon in the Abbey in 1923 as she left she laid her wedding bouquet on the grave as a mark of respect (she had lost a brother during the war). All royal brides married in the Abbey since then have sent back their bouquets to be laid on the grave.

@sara8150 - Here is a photo of Sophie's wedding bouquet at the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior.

Yes she will leave the bouquet that has already been announced. I seriously doubt any of them did it for honoring veterans though since it is their wedding day.
I disagree. IMHO they knew full well the reason why they were leaving their bouquet at the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior especially since most royal brides of the 20th and 21st century have been married to military veterans or had former service members among their family members.
They were told what was expected of them & they complied.
On this you and I will have to disagree. Yes they would have been told of the tradition and the meaning behind it, however they could have said "No." However for a family with such a long association to their nation's armed forces, I doubt that anyone of them would have hesitated to participate in this simple gesture to honor those who lost their lives in service to their nation. IMO it was likely a very moving tribute especially for Princess Alexandra who lost her father in WWII.
It is a tradition, but as
@TLLK says the latest bride Kate, other than being British born, did have three men of her family tree that partipated in both WWI and II. The Internet has the information of her Engagement Wales Tour, attached to her mini beret brown hat with fascinator mini feathers were 3 distinguished military pins that belong to the Middleton's. Expert military historians pointed out what pin is what and which war.

Royal Wedding Beer for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle | PEOPLE.com (http://people.com/royals/meghan-and-harry-wedding-beer-is-here-and-its-made-from-american-and-english-hops/)
QuoteThere?s now at least one sure way to celebrate Prince Harry and Meghan Markle?s wedding in true British style.
The Windsor & Eton Brewery ? just a five-minute pub crawl from St. George?s Chapel at Windsor Castle, where Harry and Meghan will tie the knot on May. 19 ? has crafted a unique royal wedding beer to commemorate the special day.
QuoteAnd yet most of them choose to ignore the real life needs of living veterans that her Majesty's government sent. They should keep the flowers & do something more substantial.
Again we'll have to agree to disagree as a quick count of the various royal armed forces patronages shows at least 50 organizations that support the current active service personnel, the veterans and their families. Of the current working male members of the BRF all but one is a military veteran: HRH the Duke of Gloucester. IMO the BRF is very involved with the organizations that support the "real life needs of living veterans."
Charities and Patronages | The Royal Family (https://www.royal.uk/charities-and-patronages)
Meghan will very likely have her own honorary military appointment in the future. A way to honor that commitment to her new nation is to participate in a long standing tradition on her wedding day.
Honorary & Patronages do nothing for the veterans. :shrug:
Those are done to enhance the royals images. I am speaking of doing something like Invictus, walking with the wounded etc.
You can tell Harry cares because he did the extra to impact what the veterans endure.
Those are short term counted by days sport impact for a few veterans. 1%.
The MoD career transition partnership (CTP) was created long term, forever. None of the above are considered in the government ex military or veteran career forward programs which has been created and in existence for more than 50 years. The have their own gym facilities, therapists, etc to fix disabled people.
If the MOD would need help from the BRF, other than their honorary and patronages of their partners they would ask; like for example MOD PR William and Harry followed by a TV crew, marketed by government BBC, reported in the most read broadsheets and tabloids, the objective and purpose: to encourage 18 to 25 year olds to enlist in any of the MOD branches.
Harry learnt the hard way, hence he did both sports initiatives to alleviate what he found out. What did he find out late, when it was post Mortem, that he was trained to be a Killer. The Apache helicopter has no other possibilities but massacre and destroy. And that is what he did.
So you agree doing something is better than just having a patronage or giving flowers. :D
Both are costly, If there is money, it's fine.
QuoteHonorary & Patronages do nothing for the veteran
On this we'll have to agree to disagree as I believe those providing aid to veterans being helped by worthy organizations ie: Blind Veterans (Sophie's patronage)j, Alexandra House (Alexandra's patronage) The Soldier's Charity (HM QEII) would feel differently.
Yes Harry helps veterans but I believe that you do an injustice to those members of the BRF who served in various campaigns (WWII, Falklands, Northern Ireland) if you only acknowledge him.
At some point Meghan (like all BRF members) will also be taking on a patronage that will likely benefit the veterans and their families. I believe that she would feel honored to remember those who gave their lives in service to their nation by laying her bouquet at this national monument.
QuoteHow does being a patronage of an organization that helps veterans help the veteran & not the royal?
Like all royal patronages it brings publicity. Publicity helps to bring attention to the organization and draws in potential volunteers and donors. :)
The veterans learn about the organizations through the publicity and can turn to them to seek assistance :)
This is why charities will be seeking out Meghan as a future patron as she like Charles, William, Kate, Harry etc..are high profile royals.
This BBC article might help you to understand the reasons why organizations want a royal patron.
Why do charities want a royal patron? - BBC News (http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-16414839)
QuoteIt requires dedication & the royals don't seem all that dedicated to anything with the exception of Harry, Sophie & Edward.
On this we'll have to agree to disagree as I have found that they're all dedicated to their patronages. :)
An unexpected wedding gift from the good folks at Hidden Valley Salad Dressing.

QuoteHidden Valley announced it will be giving away two special-edition bottles of the creamy white dressing. One bottle will go to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as a wedding present and the other will go to a randomly selected contest winner.
This isn?t some ordinary bottle of ranch, however. Designed by an ?A-list celebrity jeweler,? this 18-carat white gold bottle trimmed in 75 carats of diamonds and sapphires is worth $35,000. This swanky bottle was created to honor "the great pairing of a fellow famous American with British royalty? and ?remind her of the familiar flavors of her home country," Delish reports.
Bwhahahaha! :laugh10: :laugh10:
@Izabella-Now if you were the winner of the second bottle would you use it, display it or sell it? :D
I sincerely hope that Tom Markle will be present and able to escort his daughter down the aisle. The only reason that I believe would prevent him from doing so would be a health issue.

QuoteThese images offer a look inside the workshop where craftsmen are carefully constructing fanfare trumpets to be used at the royal wedding.
Richard Smith, 57, co-founder of brass instrument manufacturer Smith-Watkins, told how he was commissioned by the Ministry of Defence to create 20 state fanfare trumpets for a number of state and royal occasions.
While the use of the trumpets has not yet been revealed, Mr Smith - who crafted the trumpets for the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in 2012 - thinks it is highly likely they will be for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's nuptials on May 19.
@Curryong-How reliable is the "Morning Show" in Australia? They're now claiming that Tom Sr. is too ill to travel to London for the upcoming wedding due to high blood pressure.
Meghan Markle Latest Wedding News - Guest List, Dress, Honeymoon (2018) - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bhSgO9EPd8)
Well, 'The Morning Show' is just a light and bubbly TV show that is on in the mornings! It sometimes reports serious stuff, sometimes not. It depends where this journo is getting her information from, I suppose.
This stuff about Tom not being able to go to London due to health issues, has been swirling for about a week, hasn't it, along with William taking his place giving Meghan away? It's not the sort of thing KP comments on, so I suppose we will have to wait and see. I wouldn't be surprised. He is significantly overweight and probably also has 'stage fright'. It will be a shame, but it's not the end of the world. I'm sure Doria will do the honours if she has to.
It's rather weird for me because when I married in Australia (the first wedding) my dad wasn't able to come over and so my fiance's father did the honours. He had three daughters of his own but significantly none of them ended up marrying. So that was his one and only shot at 'giving the bride away'!
If it's true about Tom and Doria doesn't want to do it I don't see why Charles couldn't, actually. He gave a bride away last year didn't he, Penny Romsey's daughter, because of the family situation there? I think that would be better than depriving Harry of his brother as supporter on one of the most important days of his life.
I would love to see Doria do it. She raised Meghan & it would be a twist to all the outdated rituals that are the BRF.

Thank you for your reply
@Curryong. Hopefully this is just speculation though after looking at Tom Sr. I can see that it is possible that his physician might believe that a long flight from either the U.S. or Mexico might be more than Tom's body can safely handle ie: Deep Vein Thrombosis. I agree that Charles would also be an excellent choice to lead Meghan to the altar if Doria is not tasked to do so. z(This might be a wedding tradition that HM has the last word upon.) IMO Charles seems like a more natural fit as he's closer in age to Tom Sr. and there have been a couple of 20th century royal weddings in which the bride had another male family member stand in for her deceased father: Princess Margaret- the DoE and Princess Alexandra-the Duke of Kent. And as you pointed out, William will be already acting as Harry's supporter for the wedding day.
If he doesn't show up, the DM and public will believe first in banished. He has no problem buying alcohol, cigarettes, pizzas, crisps...and drinking, smoking whilst at it.
Maybe he just can't fly for some reason. :shrug:
^^^Yes health issues that would be seriously aggravated by a long distance flight, would play a major role in whether or not he attends the wedding.
I don't think he has nothing serious health wise.
How would anyone know that? He has followed Sophie's Dad as an example of how to mind his own business & remain private.
Quote from: wannable on March 13, 2018, 03:15:20 PM

While I've only seen photos of Tom Sr. IMO the man does not look healthy : obesity, coloring.
He shouldn't be buying alcohol and cigarettes.
It is his life & he can buy whatever he wants. Many people do not always do what is best for themselves. His choice & not Meghan's.
Correct, playing devils advocate, only hoping IF he is a no show, KP gives a excuse minus health. The barrage of articles in the UK accompanied by smoking and drinking pictures will not be compassionate.
If it's a mental health issue, Harry should put in practice a cheerleading Heads Together campaign, it's not yet late to get the man physically and mentally for the aisle. He and she have the money to mobilize the man and get the best of the best treatment.
The excuse of pride, accept the love return. An excuse for mental health, family severe dysfunction at its height.
What are you talking about? We don't even know if he will miss the wedding. :shrug:
Hence the IF...
These latest stories of Tom Sr. Reminds me of what
@FanDianaFancy said a few days ago in reference to a low profile marriage preferably, but the couple wants contrary to that, hence the public circus via reports. It will be inevitable the dysfunctional family set the bride has and not only articles but books will be mentioning it for posterity.
At the moment of this week's alleged news, believe me there are investigative journalists seeking medical or clinical reports. Meghan is gold for this type of tabloid fodder.
Yes I agree
@wannable that he should give both up as neither are likely to be recommended by his doctor.
By a blabbing Doctor,nSecretary, best friend. Who won't be the first.
And give Tom the right to sue them for all they are worth plus the criminal charges they will face. :eyes: I don't think so.
My bet is that if Tom isn't there then Doria or Charles will take Meghan down the aisle. They'd do a superb job and it will be great.
I also believe that the wedding venue was chosen by Charles, who also wished to marry there until he was persuaded otherwise by the Archbisop of Canterbury and other advisers. And why should it be a discreet little private wedding? Harry's the son of the heir to the throne and it's his first wedding. Harry wasn't involved in the dissolution of Meghan's first marriage. Why do the couple have to behave as if their union is something to be ashamed of?
If Felipe of Spain can marry Letizia (whose first marriage was also dissolved) in a cathedral in a Roman Catholic country then Harry can certainly marry at St George's. I have no doubt that the thought of the Guildhall or some registry office for Harry never crossed the Queen or Charles's mind.
Samantha Markle has shut up and made her Twitter Page private. No doubt she's received tons of abuse in the past month and now knows there's absolutely no chance of her going to this wedding. Tom Jnr has also shut his trap, ditto, and I doubt that either will be commenting too much more, except perhaps on the wedding day. Samantha kept flogging a book that she hoped would be published, which she said was pro-Meghan anyway, but she doesn't appear to have any publishing deal. And her credibility is shot, anyway.
Who knows some Rosarito person in dire for money.
I do hope he goes though.
How would some Rosarita person in dire need of money get Tom's medical records?
The same way by association people get hold to and sell it to a author, journalist, press, publisher.
One's medical records are not with the patient.

Sadly it won't be the first time that someone has either sold or hacked into medical information to give to a tabloid. :shrug:
^ Is that his medical or mental?
Couldn't say, its suggested gossip that he won't show up by certain articles and TV shows, William will be walking the bride.
I am adding to the discussion group
@Curryong and
@TLLK that he may be sick, blood pressure, not healthy.
You need to read the discussion to understand we are all giving opinions to a possible situation. If you don't read,there is no wonder, you are lost. You seem to need a poster target weekly. :D
If my hunch is right that Tom Sr. is ill and advised by his doctor(s) that he's putting his health or even his life at risk with a long distance flight, then he needs to listen to them. There are other people who can take his place in escorting Meghan to the altar.
Once the wedding is over then it might be possible for the couple to meet him Mexico at a later date.
The wedding isn't until May. Why does everyone assume he won't be there?
Tom Snr not being present at St George's suddenly appeared as tabloid and online gossip about eight days ago. Goodness knows where it came from, perhaps Twitter. Tom hasn't said anything publicly, neither has Harry, Meghan, KP or anyone else, on the issue.
Samantha, Tom's daughter, has said that he will be doing the honours on the day, and you can take that for what it's worth! God knows where the gossip came from. Perhaps someone in his home town has seen him going to the doctor a couple of times lately and it started there.

QuoteA PETITION against the taxpayer footing the bill for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle?s royal wedding has received more than 13,700 signatures online just weeks before the couple are due to marry in Windsor Castle.
Looks like the Republic organisation is girding it's some 40,00O members (out of a 63 million plus population) into the cause. :hehe: Wonder whether, when George gets married in State at the Abbey in another 25 years, how many petitions will be out there then!
Plus, they're not paying for the wedding. They are paying for the security for it, the bill for all the royals, not just the bride and groom and any VIPs etc Big difference!
All the same, I'm a great admirer of the way the Scandis do their weddings, christenings. Tiaras and orders and foreign royals dignitaries, in their own Chapel/Church. Then the ceremony is followed by an appearance on the balcony for the family and formal dinner/reception inside the Palace etc. Then in Stockholm, a trip by boat around the city's islands afterwards for weddings. Private party afterwards. Everything except the latter televised, and most of it on their own property.
That's the way the BRF used to do it prior the 1920s (weddings in chapels like St James and inside BP) and perhaps it ought to go back to that. Other royalty, luxury and opulence, but no extra security needed. It might return to it in future years for the BRF though, because this is the UK with terrorism problems, the security bill to still guard other royals, VIPs etc will probably still be sky high.

Or from MM, KP or CH camp. iF Tom Sr. turns out to be a no show, any of the three, as Charles and Camilla already played parents present at her baptism and confirmation. If the story results to be a matter of fact situation , and William walks her down the aisle, IMO the news was definitely planted by KP. Not the first nor last...
And if Charlotte or baby no three wants to marry in another twenty five years when George may be married with a child or two, you don't think there will be a petition about costs? There may even be one for Eugenie in October.
And as I said, this has been organised by Republic and they have asked several,of their pathetically few members to sign up...
Depends on what and how you gauge the public antipathy of the wedding preparations for Harry and Meghan.
If you think it's racial, IMO that less than 00.0001.
A clue is dislike grew heavily with her engagement dress privately purchased by whoever, but it just showed how very out of touch these two are.
Did I say that I thought it was racial? I've noted Republic's antics through the years. They leap on any Royal event. They organised a demonstration for the Diamond Jubilee, protests for the Cambridge's wedding, in case you think there was unrestrained joy in the ranks of Republic in 2011.
They have under 40,000 members nationwide, and my guess is the bulk of those who signed are their adherants. If there was massive public antipathy, then the petition would be at the 5 million or so mark, not a pathetic 13,000.
I doubt very very much that the engagement photo op dress was in the minds of the Republic people who organised that petition. And there will be thousands of people out cheering for Meg and Harry on May 19th in spite of Republic.
QuoteIt might return to it in future years for the BRF though, because this is the UK with terrorism problems, the security bill to still guard other royals, VIPs etc will probably still be sky high.
With so many threats against the Bride already I think security will cost more this time.

In a letter to the Privy Council, the monarch expressed her approval of the upcoming wedding between her 'most dearly beloved grandson' and his fiancee, 36.
It comes as it was revealed how Prince Harry took fianc?e Meghan Markle to a secret meeting with traumatised war veterans that he says 'shocked us to our core'.
The 33-year-old ?who himself served two tours on the frontline in Afghanistan - told how over the years he has seen his own forces buddies 'suffer, struggling to seek out the help they desperately need'.

Thanks
@TLLK , I suppose with time the BRF (the reigning monarch) will get to know her more.
Several royal watchers were waiting for the consent to see if there was to be or not added wording, which is quite telling of the QEII 'feeling's of knowledge of the entering future spouse.
Quote'Our Most Dearly Beloved Grandson Prince William Arthur Philip Louis of Wales, K.G. and Our Trusty and Well-beloved Catherine Elizabeth Middleton''.
The same language & wording would be used for everyone with the exception of names & relationship to the Queen.
Actually I believe that we're comparing two different documents. One is the letter to the Privy Council and the second is the elaborately decorated Instrument of Consent.
The Harpers Bazzar article has a photo of the framed consent that the Cambridges received about one week prior to their April 29, 2011 wedding. This is the Instrument of Content and it includes the "trusty and beloved" description and has QEII's seal attached. It isn't the letter that was sent to the Privy Council.
Here is another photo of it as well. https://www.google.com/search?q=photo+of+the+instrument+of+consent+2011&client=firefox-b-1&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=Q7FJq_GkcTCLjM%253A%252C5RIOWYnKl9H0UM%252C_&usg=__WcsBvZ5MMu3MaOp2-ScnB_TM-Sg%3D&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwid6Iepze7ZAhUH12MKHXEsC9IQ9QEIKTAA#imgrc=Q7FJq_GkcTCLjM:

The wording is quite archaic (I actually prefer it that way) so maybe they were updating things a bit. For example, I noted that in the communication the royal "we" is replaced by I only to return later in the official declaration. It might also do with the fact that Meghan will never been a queen and will become a minor royal once William's children are of age so there is no need to really refer to her in those terms. Just a thought? but I don't think the queen wanted to snub anybody here.
@royalanthropologist - Just be aware that there were two different documents issued. The Queen's letter to the Privy Council is nearly identical to the one that was issued in 2011. (Just names and date are different.) The elaborately decorated and sealed Instrument of Consent uses the more archaic language and was displayed after the couple's wedding. I believe that Harry and Meghan will receive one that is very similar to the Cambridges' at a later date.
Aha. Got it. Thanks for educating me
@TLLK
Interesting and thank you. I've been trying to find the instrument of consent of QEII childrens, to compare and contrast the adjectives.

absolutely it is lazy. only time has the queen changed the charter copy - removing beloved for Marina Ogilvy when she married

Marriage certificate will kept private like William and Kate?s wedding in 2011 nobody show public or display per HM Queen
I remember seeing the formal Charter for Will and Kate, an extraordinarily beautiful medieval type document on parchment. I think it was issued for Press consumption about a week before the wedding. So if this follows virtually the same schedule, then Harry and Meghan's similar charter should be issued around May 12th.
I love it! The Tumblr people are beside themselves!
Yes
@Curryong and in an earlier post I shared a link to the UK's only remaining firm that produces these types of documents. William and Kate's 2011 Charter included the floral symbols linked to the nation, a lily for St. Catherine (They married on her feast day.), William's Knight of the Garter insignia etc...I can't wait to see the final version issued for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. :happy17: :happy17: :Jen: :windsor1: However I expect it will take weeks before it is completed.
Also the full text for their charter was released today which is essentially the same as the letter but in grander language IMO.

Glad to see that the Express was able to confirm that the language "trusty and well-beloved" language is reserved for citizens of the UK and other Commonwealth nations and that it is not a reflection upon Meghan.

QuoteThe countdown has begun in earnest. In two months' time, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will marry in St George's Chapel, Windsor, in front of what is expected to be the most varied wedding party any royal nuptials have ever seen.
With everyone from the Obamas to the cast of Suits and the Spice Girls rumoured to feature on one of the three lists (the day is expected to be split into thirds, with the ceremony, morning reception, and evening reception all thought to involve different guests), we can expect to see some broad interpretations of the dress code.
So how do you pick an outfit for such an occasion? For those not among the family and friends on Harry's side, who will all be used to attending society weddings, the customs may seem alien.

Lovely invitation but I do have this question. Why were William and Kate's invitation issued by QEII while Harry and Meghan's are issued by the PoW? Would it be because the Cambridge wedding was a semi-state affair while Harry and Meghan's is a private one?

Meghan Markle's reclusive father will walk her down the aisle | Daily Mail Online (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-5540419/Meghan-Markles-reclusive-father-walk-aisle.html)
QuoteMeghan Markle?s reclusive father will walk her down the aisle, a close friend has told The Mail on Sunday.
After months of speculation about whether retired Hollywood lighting director Tom Markle will be by his daughter?s side in Windsor Castle, one of his closest confidantes last night confirmed: ?He will.?
And Kensington Palace has been told that the 73-year-old will be flying in for the ceremony from Mexico, where he lives in a sleepy retirement community.
?He?s very excited about it,? said the friend: ?He?s very close to her [Meghan] and he?s very happy. All the pressure has been hard on him and he?s just trying to stay out of the limelight.?
The woman also said Mr Markle does not know what he will wear on the big day adding: ?The Royal Family controls that. We?re not sure.?
She declined to be named ? but, after being pictured sharing a pizza with Mr Markle at a local restaurant last week, denied that she was romantically involved with Harry?s future father-in-law.

Meghan Markle?s Estranged Family Reveals During Awkward Interview They Weren?t Invited to the Royal Wedding
Meghan Markle?s Estranged Family Weren?t Invited to Wedding: Watch (https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/meghan-markles-estranged-family-werent-invited-to-wedding-watch/?utm_source=email)
I think Meghan will be granted a coat of arms in a similar way to the way Birgetta Duchess of Gloucester got one. It's years since I read the details but I believe that Birgetta's father wasn't really in her life terribly much or kept drifting in and out as she was growing up. He was of course a Dane, no British ancestry, so unlike Mike Middleton, could not apply to the College of Arms in London. Unlike Princess Michael of Kent's father, he had no family coat of arms. So, to avoid possible unpleasantness, Birgetta was awarded her own.
Tom Markle Snr does have some British ancestry but doesn't appear to be the sort of man who would be anxious to acquire such a thing. It would no doubt appear to be like something out of a film about knights and the Middle Ages to him. However, to prevent Samantha and Tom Markle Jnr possibly getting their paws on it (as would be allowed if Tom Snr were to be granted one) it will be much better if the College of Arms follow the Duchess's route and granted Meghan her own Coat of Arms which will of course be quartered with Harry's in due course.
Harry must be completely besotted, her family has 0 decorum. Jumping on the first opportunity for a media slot. She too for the VF pre engagement.
Has Meghan chosen her maid of honour? Stylist Jessica Mulroney is now bookies? hot favourite ? after it was revealed bride-to-be has picked a ?close pal who she knew before Harry?
Has Meghan Markle chosen her maid of honour? | Daily Mail Online (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-5549403/Has-Meghan-chosen-maid-honour.html)
I'd hardly call the ex wife of Meghan's half-brother 'family', especially as she hasn't seen Meghan for twenty years. Hardly likely to hear from this woman or her son ever again. Anyway, they wished her well.
It may be Jessica who is maid of honour. Or it could be an old university friend.
The fact that Meghan's family, including her, run to the press at the first opportunity for money and media, they are hungry people just to come out no matter what.
I was neutral about Meghan because I did not know much about her. Then I was happy for her because they did seem to be very much in love. Now the hype and "people's princess" stuff is getting to me. I really hate hero-worship, particularly when it is based on such shallow stuff as a look, smile or dress. People who have served the monarchy for years and with dignity are now being denigrated because Meghan is the new flavor of the month. Some of us will go right off her because of that.

Harry is going to have several hundred troops at his wedding, including those in the Household Cavalry he has been associated with through his regiment, the Blues and Royals, and the Marines and others. Some will line the staircase to St George's in their dress uniforms, (I'm hoping for an arch of swords for Harry and Meghan to walk under as they leave the Chapel) some will accompany the carriage through Windsor, and Irish Guards will provide a band and line the streets. It's going to be fabulous.

QuoteIrish Guards will provide a band. ... It's going to be fabulous!
*finger snap and a sassy walk away* :lol: Spare no expense. :partaay:
I think Harry will be in uniform. The announcement about the troops providing a ceremonial role will pretty well guarantee it, IMO. He'll probably wear the uniform of the Captain General of Marines, his senior honorary rank.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle?s wedding estimated to be one of the most expensive weddings of all time ? Royal Central (http://royalcentral.co.uk/uk/princeharry/prince-harry-and-meghan-markles-wedding-estimated-to-be-one-of-the-most-expensive-weddings-of-all-time-99232)
QuoteAn estimate calculation by wedding planning company Bridebook is putting Prince Harry and Meghan Markle?s 19 May wedding at one of the ?top 10 most expensive weddings of all time? according to the Telegraph.
While official numbers of royal weddings are not released, it is guessed that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge?s wedding cost around ?20 million and Prince Charles and Diana?s wedding was around ?84 million. Bridebook is estimating Harry and Meghan?s to come in at ?32 million.
They figure the majority of costs will be on security, the dress, catering and drink and flowers that will cost ?110,000.
This 'expert's' guesstimates are probably way off. If you put security and the ceremonial troops to one side (the troops would be paid anyway) then gown, flowers, catering, cake, photographer and flowers would be subject to huge discounts from the firms and individuals involved. Of course it will be a very large sum, most Royal weddings are, but I'm not taking this man's word as gospel. It was rumoured that Carole and Pippa drove hard bargains for Pippa's wedding to come in on budget. Same thing here. The Queen and Charles, who are paying for the majority of this, won't be paying top prices however.
It's getting quite expensive just to have an estimated 100,000 tourists watch them in/outside the grounds of Windsor Castle. The times have changed, he's so way down the succession line. Every broadsheet/tabloid that is reporting the security cost of GBP 30 Million, the comments are scathing.
Harry and Meghan's wedding by numbers
100,000 people in Windsor for the big day (I doubt it, they hardly garner 100-150 people in aerial photos of their meet and greet visits)
GBP 30million cost of 'ring of steel' security
600 guests for service at St George's Chapel
4,200 Thames Valley Police officers all have leave cancelled (I bet most of them aren't happy to have their free day Saturday cancelled)
We've been through the succession thing before. And the debate about Harry's popularity. It was incredibly icy on some of those day trips to various parts of the U.K. I wouldn't have come out in snow and ice for anyone either. There are few that gather for Kate or for William's engagements, I've noticed.
What are you saying? That there will only be a hundred or so people out on the streets of Windsor to see 'Unpopular Harry' and his bride in May? Well, we'll see!
And there is always resentment over costs for Royal weddings and every other gathering where royals and VIPs are present. It will be interesting to see what the DF rabble say 'scathingly' about the cost re security of Eugenie's wedding with celebrities, VIPs and royals. She is much further down the line than Harry is, and even though the October wedding won't comprise a carriage ride and the wedding will take place at Windsor, the cost will still be extremely high.
Harry served in Afghanistan twice (a war zone) so his security concerns has always been more than some other royals. Security comprises most of these costs for the wedding. The other costs are guesstimates.
And once he's married in seven weeks time there won't be another major wedding in the Royal family for the DM crowd to worry about until George and Charlotte marry. God knows what the costs will be then!
But of course they can all have a moan about the Queen's funeral, Prince Philip's, the Coronation of Charles and the funerals of Charles and Camilla etc. in the future. So there will be plenty for people to have an enjoyable gripe about in the comments section of the Fail, won't there?
Police reveal over 100,000 people expected to visit Windsor for Royal Wedding ? Royal Central (http://royalcentral.co.uk/uk/princeharry/police-reveal-over-100000-people-expected-to-visit-windsor-for-royal-wedding-99291)
QuoteWith eight weeks to go until the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Thames Valley Police revealed on Thursday that it expects more than 100,000 people to visit Windsor for the event. This will make it one of the biggest operations in the force?s history.
Details of the security at the event at St George?s chapel, Windsor Castle, have also been released. A broad range of visible security measures are in place, such as number plate recognition technology, CCTV, and anti-terror vehicle barriers. There will also be a range of security measures not visible to the public.
Residents, businesses and visitors to the town can expect to see an increased police presence in the coming weeks. There will be police officers, both armed and unarmed, search dogs, the roads policing unit and the National Police Air Service on hand during the run up to the big day.

Swedish royals not invited to Royal Wedding ? Royal Central (http://royalcentral.co.uk/uk/princeharry/swedish-royals-not-invited-to-royal-wedding-99262)
QuoteThe Swedish Royal Family failed to make the guest list for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle?s wedding this May. In fact, very few foreign royals are expected to attend.
Prince Seeiso of Lesotho and his wife, who are good friends with the British prince, are the exception. Prince Seeiso, who founded Sentebale ? a charity to help children affected by AIDs and HIV ? with Harry, was the first person outside Harry?s immediate family to announce his attendance at St George?s Chapel.

It's a full gripe on the 6th.
Andrew and Fergie will have only the best for Eugenie. It will be laughable if the Meghan bashers commend them on having a "Cheap Wedding."
Eugenie wedding will be within the grounds of Windsor Castle, no TV, no request for MoD...big difference
It does not matter. It will not be a "cheap" wedding. LIke their renting a hall and having cheese and crackers and cheap wine at the reception. I hardly think hers will be very significantly less than the $$$ spent on Harry. Andrew is said to be the Queen's favorite and she would not skimp on the wedding moneywise.

The floral arrangements on Philippa's site are to die for. Absolutely beautiful, and she'll use blossoms from the Royal estates and gardens.
She's also helped with Clean water projects in the Third World.
QuoteHarry served in Afghanistan twice (a war zone) so his security concerns has always been more than some other royals. Security comprises most of these costs for the wedding. The other costs are guesstimates.
Security preparations are going to be extensive as IMVHO the public lining the procession route are the ones who will be the most vulnerable to any possible attacks. The 2017 attacks have made a deep impression on the need for public safety.

This is a nice broad selection of mostly UK charities, good because Harry has been criticised by some in the past for concentrating on Africa. It reflects Harry's dedication to vets and their families, the couple's interests in the environment, Meghan's in the welfare of girls, and the appeal for donations to Crisis (homeless charity) was a nice touch I thought.
Yes I agree that this is a good and varied selection of UK based charities for people to donate to in lieu of a gift.

So Prince Seiso of Lesotho will be invited, probably some of the Prussian and Hesse families and perhaps several of the Greeks, as Charles is so close to them.

Essentially, it?s been decided that there?s no need for official guests, as Prince Harry is not likely to be a future King. Everyone inside the chapel will know Harry and Meghan personally.

Sources say Prince Harry is not a direct heir to the throne there is no need to have such a formal guest list.
In additional, St George?s Chapel, where the couple will wed on May 19, is much smaller than Westminster Abbey, where the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge tied the knot.

I am not a journalist nor a Royal reporter, they have all stated family and friends, people who actually know the couple, no officials.
Their friends may be from all walks of life, but they are friends. IF officials where to be invited, then it would be semi or state or senior, it is not.
William and Kate are the future of the monarchy hence of course officials were invited knowing them or not. Recently they have started meeting counterparts by tours and BP formal diplomatic state dinners and receptions
I have agreed with you!!
The Cambridges is future monarchy one days and also attend banquet,diplomatic state dinner and receptions but Harry is not future monarchy..
When William married to Kate in April 29,2011 the couples did intive everyone include member of British Royal family,Spencer Family and foreign royals and leaders but William didn?t intive his mother?s former work and also Paul Burrell for reasons..
BUT they NOW Harry?s big day on May 19th its their decision to intive family and friends include royal family members on the lists and don?t forget spencer family members I?m hope Harry bans intive his mother?s work and butler Paul Burrell same William in 2011..
William and Harry wanted remind their spirit mother in heavenly if Diana was here and Diana will proud their boys get married and have family..
Harry did discuss with his grandmother the monarchy about intive on the lists must have approved for wedding at Windsor because Meghan is divorce but Harry told his grandma not intive PM,president and past and present leaders to royal wedding..

Sorry that Harry and Meghan are going to bear the brunt of that "surge" in security costs, but considering the number of terror attacks that occurred in 2017 throughout the UK, it is better to be safe than sorry.
They should not be "blasted". I think that it stems from some not liking Meghan and Harry by extension for not marrying someone like Cressida. It's all over the DM. I wonder if they will complain about Eugenie's wedding which won't exactly be cheap related to security.
QuoteHonestly, Harry has no control over how much security he gets.
I agree and this decision is out of his hands as it is there to also protect the public. Security has been a presence at all royal weddings but terrorism in the UK and Europe has unfortunately increased since the Cambridges' 2011 wedding. :no: If Eugenie's wedding has a carriage procession through Windsor after the ceremony, then I believe we'll see a greater need for security. If it doesn't include one, then the costs will be lower as there will be a smaller perimeter to protect. It's a shame that people do not blame those directly involved with terrorist attacks as the reason why the costs will be higher.

QuoteWHoever called it a private family event must not know what that means.
Reportedly this is how the palace has described the upcoming wedding. I believe that they alone can determine what "private" means when it comes to British royal family weddings. QEII and the PoW both had state weddings as heirs to the throne. William's wedding was considered to be semi-state. It would appear that the palace considers anything other than a state or semi-state wedding to be "private" since heads of state, Commonwealth heads of government and members of the government are not to be invited to the wedding.
QuoteA lot do reside in the UK. Then there are the Tumblr folk.
IMHO social media would not be a reliable or reputable gauge of public opinion when compared to a well-respected polling firm by IPSO-Mori.
Not every American is going to like her. :shrug: They don't have to like her and are free to express their opinion. Any royal knows that they're never going to be completely free of criticism nor will they be "liked" by everyone in their nation. :shrug:
Meghan just needs to keep doing what she's been doing since the engagement was announced and she should be just fine. :thumbsup:
Who knows where the Tumblr people are from? People can create multiple social media accounts and claim to be from anywhere.
In wake of Facebook scandal, Tumblr cracks down on Russia interference (https://mashable.com/2018/03/23/tumblr-cracks-down-on-fake-news/#RQMmZvzNBZqE)
Jerseydeanne was the first Tumblr witch, she was connected to newyorkcityrealroyal who pretended she was a PR person working for a US firm connected to Prince Charles. She (NYC) faded out after Invictus and doesn't publicly have a live site any more. Those two are Americans.
Felix, the main disseminator of ludicrously incorrect info and out and out lies, is an Australian, Skippy, the other main spreader of hate, is a New Zealander.
Both those got their blogs closed down last week by the Tumblr authorities for insulting people online and Felix for calling another blog operator who challenged him/her, racist names. Skippy, Jersey and he/she all have Twitter and back each other to the hilt, to the extent of exchanging each other's anon posts.
Skippy got her blog back running a couple of days ago but has only about 70 followers. As far as I know Felix is still banned.
They have a little helper called Winkie, who jumps around the three blogs and claims to be a palace insider giving info. (If she is I am a giraffe, Lol!) She presumably is British but God knows. Tumblr is always another world, but these people make me ill.
Glad to see that those who cross a line are being banned from the social media sites.

There will be no officials at the wedding, friends and family, hence a junior wedding. If there was to be political and royal houses worldwide guest, as what monarchies worldwide Do, then it's a senior wedding. He is quite soon the 6th, there is no need. He is still getting what daddy wants to give, a very expensive wedding for family and friends.
One can't paint it otherwise to please their fans.
IMO we're seeing wedding plans that are similar to Prince Edward's and Sophie Rhys-Jones 1999 wedding in size and scale. It is not considered to be a state or semi-state event, but like Anne's, Andrew's and Edward's it will be one that reflects their status as a prince/princess of the United Kingdom. IMO it is similar to what we've seen in other European royal families when one of the monarch's younger children or siblings marries ie: Sweden's Carl Phillip/Sofia or Madeline/Christopher. Their beautiful ceremonies are heavily covered by the local and national media. They're usually televised and while politicians are not typically not invited, there may be some other royals invited as they're relatives or close friends of the family. However they're smaller in scale than their parents' or elder sibling's weddings.
However I've never had the feeling that their weddings were any less special or lovely because they were not the monarchs or the direct heirs to the throne. If anything, there seemed to be a more relaxed atmosphere as if this was truly a family wedding just on a slightly larger scale than most couple's.
Yes I agree it's at the scale of PE wedding.
But Harry is further up in line of succession than Edward. I think it is a cut above Edward's and not on the same scale.
Did Sophie and Edward's wedding have participation of over 500 service personnel, including mounted troops accompanying the carriages? Don't think so!
My iPad is playing up at the moment so can't give links, but CBS and NBC have announced their coverage of the Royal wedding in the last 24 hours. It's expected that ABC will do so shortly.
From the way the TV channels here have been carrying on about this wedding, (there's another big special on this weekend on Sunday night) the Aus tv stations shouldn't be far behind.

Yes I agree it's at the scale of PE wedding.
Yes which is completely appropriate for someone who is not in the direct line of succession. It's a bonus to the planners that there has been a royal wedding of a similar size held at St. George's Chapel somewhat recently. The BRF and the government would know that a state wedding on the scale of Princess Elizabeth's or the Prince of Wales' weddings should only happen once in a generation. I believe that it was appropriate that William's wedding was not quite as grand as his father's as he's the heir-to-the-heir. That being said I doubt that there will ever be another wedding as large or grand as Charles and Diana's wedding at St. Paul's cathedral.
Harry and Meghan will be married in a historic and beautiful setting. The Armed Forces will play a part in the wedding. There will be a carriage ride after the ceremony. The couple will have two receptions at Windsor Castle and the public will have the opportunity to witness the arrivals and departures. The only difference that I see between Anne/Mark's and Andrew/Sarah's weddings is the location and a carriage procession to the church.
To be honest I'm a little surprised that there is a sense that somehow their wedding is lacking grandeur or gravitas because it is modeled after Edward and Sophie's 1999 ceremony at SGC.
@Curryong-Just saw your post. No there wasn't the military presence and I believe it was due to the fact that Edward did not have a military career like the other male members of the family. The participation of the Armed Forces is IMO another bonus for the couple's wedding however I do believe the Wessex wedding is the "blue print" that the planners are following for the May 19, 2018 event. The planners know the number of guests that can be accommodated in SGC. There is a carriage route that has been tested previously. Security teams can gauge where to post police officers and get a sense of the anticipated crowd size. The TV directors know where to place cameras and what lighting will be required. Windsor Castle staff know how much flatware, glassware, plates etc..to prepare. Florists can get a sense of where to decorate etc...
With the palace request involvement of the military, that is an exception, but the model of the wedding, which I agree is that to PE wedding. Times have changed, I see a lot of negative surrounding the wedding expenses, especially the security.
We shall see how it all goes May 19, I will be watching it TV live.
Question, if various people from the rent a crowd decline invitation to go, is there a possibility that KP can reissue the invite to someone else from one of the charity, civil service, organization where the person was invited to watch them from within the palace walls?
@wannable-Good question regarding a declined invitation. I wonder if the security teams would have time to run the necessary background checks?
I ask because I've seen various verified twitter civil servants who won ballot because of their impeccable whatever (as that was the way it was conducted) who will not take the expense of hotel, food, transportation and refreshment to stand up within the walls to watch the couple. Hence can KP reissue a declined to someone who will really want to be there.

To put this in perspective: The heir to the throne had his second wedding there (albeit civil ceremony and a blessing). Edward is not in the same category as the Prince of Wales.
^^^I never said that the PoW was in the same category as Prince Edward so I don't understand why you'd compare Charles' second wedding to Edward's. Charles' second wedding was never planned or anticipated to be on the same scale as Edward and Sophie's. It's not even similar to Anne's second wedding at Crathie Church. The only thing that Charles and Edward's SGC weddings have in common is the venue. They're both the sons of the monarch, but I doubt that Edward, Anne, and Andrew ever thought that they'd have state weddings like their mother and elder brother.

Who Will Be Meghan Markle's Maid of Honor? A Closer Look at the Top Contenders
Who Will Be Meghan Markle's Maid of Honor? | PEOPLE.com (http://people.com/royals/who-meghan-markle-maid-of-honor/)
Duchess of Cambridge didn?t matron of honor or maid of honor because she pregnant and also she is future monarchy one day..
Quote
Kate Middleton
Considering Kate didn?t serve as the matron of honor for her own sister?s wedding last May, it?s safe to say that she won?t be acting as Meghan?s come May 19. However, her two eldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, will probably be a page boy and bridesmaid, representing their family in the wedding party.
Samantha Markle
Let?s face it: It it would be shocking if we saw Meghan?s estranged half-sister anywhere near St. George?s Chapel on the big day. The half-siblings are not close, and by Samantha?s own admission, haven?t spoken much since 2008. And since Meghan started dating Harry, she hasn?t hesitated to speak out about her half-sister and is even penning a tell-all book, The Diary of Princess Pushy?s Sister. So no ? despite family ties, this one is a non-starter.

Anne's wedding (second) was more or less a blip on the radar, with a few photos distributed to the media. Crathie Church is a very very small venue.
Right
@sandy so I'm of the opinion that it can't even be compared to Charles' second one in terms of size, scale and media coverage.
The process of getting a ticket to be in the Windsor Park for Harry and Meghan's wedding wasn't a ballot. Somebody senior didn't choose these people and go 'You, you and You, you've been selected to stand outside the Chapel etc!'
All over British Isles there was a process in which the person themselves had to submit an application. I've read that some school students had theirs vetted (for grammar, spelling mistakes and so on) but after the application was put in it then went to a higher level, until it reached the Lords Lt of counties, who virtually rubber stamped it.
As everyone put in their own application in the first place they presumably were at perfect liberty to, at any stage, say 'I've thought it over and it's going to be too expensive' and withdraw.
I've read various scenarios of people as they went through the system in place, and IMO the 'Oh, inconsiderate bosses/church leaders/ headmasters scenario is pure BS.
I guess the underlying motif here is ' Inconsiderate Harry, Meghan, no care for people's feelings, making them go through vast expense travelling and staying at Windsor etc'.
Well no, they didn't, because every one of those 1,200 people who were ultimately chosen were not only involved in it every step of the way, but started it off themselves. If they thought they weren't going to be able to enjoy or afford it why fill out the form in the first place?
Make sure that you if you are ordering your Harry and Meghan wedding souvenirs/keepsakes online that you don't order from this company. <_<
Check out the mistake in this commemorative plate. It's the wrong red head in the photo. :lol:
This ?25 royal wedding plate is on sale ahead of Meghan and Harry's big day... but it's got a HUGE mistake (https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/6016060/royal-wedding-plate-has-one-very-big-mistake/)
QuoteI guess the underlying motif here is ' Inconsiderate Harry, Meghan, no care for people's feelings, making them go through vast expense travelling and staying at Windsor etc'.
Honestly I really don't get that vibe that this is somehow Meghan and Harry's fault, but I do understand that circumstances can change for people (health,school, family, work, financial) between the time the application was submitted and when they received an answer. What I believe that
@wannable and I are hoping is that if someone has to decline the opportunity to attend, could another person who wants to be there have the opportunity to go? :)

Can you remember, before William and Kate's wedding the Press published pictures of mugs that were unique among the wedding memorabilia for having Harry's head next to Kate's, above the date etc. There were lots of jokes about 'Wrong brother!' etc. I often think these 'mistakes' are deliberate, in order to make that particular manufacturer stand out from the crowd.
And the 1,200 applicants who put in their applications aren't a 'rent a crowd', wannabe, considering they began and continued the process themselves.
@Curryong-No I actually don't remember seeing those but they do sound very funny. :hehe: However I do agree that any errors (deliberate or accident) will often make an item "rare" and desirable to collectors.

But Harry is further up in line of succession than Edward. I think it is a cut above Edward's and not on the same scale.
In 1999-Edward was the seventh person in the line of succession behind Charles, William, Harry, Andrew, Beatrice and Eugenie. In 2018-Harry is the sixth person in line the line of succession behind Charles, William, George, Charlotte and baby Cambridge. At the time of their respective weddings: Edward and Harry are not that far apart.
Yes, but as I said before Kate and William's kids are toddlers and the new one will be a baby born in April. They can't possibly do royal duties. When Edward and Sophie got married, Harry and William were older and William actually did some royal duties when he was at Uni which was not too long after the Edward/Sophie wedding. And Edward as the youngest, was never as close as Harry was to the top of the line of succession and just kept going lower and lower--Eugenie and Beatrice are ahead of him. Harry was third in line of succession when he was born. If William and Harry's kids magically could do royal duties then we would see little of Harry. But right now Harry is the next adult in line next to William.
Yes I agree that it is very likely that Harry will be an integral part of his father's reign just like Edward is for his mother's reign. As the younger children of the monarch, their weddings are considered to be "private" rather than "state or semi-state" events.
IMHO apart from the military taking part in Harry's wedding that it will be very similar in size/scale to his Uncle Edward's wedding in 1999 as they're using the same church, carriage route and reception venue (at least for the 1st of Meghan and Harry's two receptions.)
Now we haven't received as much Eugenie and Jack's wedding plans other than the date and the church, but I believe it will be more on the scale of Peter/Autumn and Zara/Mike's weddings. The couple might ride in one of the Ascot landaus to their reception, but I doubt that there will be a carriage procession.

QuoteWilliam and Kate may well have had foreign royals and officials at their wedding but obviously didn't recognise any of them, like King Felipe of Spain, Prince Daniel and Prince CP of Sweden when they met them later, so what was the good of it all?
With 1,900 guests at Westminster Abbey and 600 guests at their reception, I think that the then heirs-to-the-throne from the European monarchies would certainly understand and recall their own very long guest lists/receiving lines at their own state occasion weddings. :D I don't know how CP Victoria would have coped considering that she does suffer from "face blindness." (Also it doesn't hurt that Felipe, Victoria, Haakkon, W-A, Guillaume, Nahurito, etc..had been traveling to European weddings for about a decade when they were young. There are many photos of them grouped together in pews.)
Since then the Cambridges at the Diamond Jubilee luncheon and their through their overseas visits have had the opportunities to become reacquainted with the Queen of Denmark, the Kings of the Netherlands, Norway, Spain and Belgium along with CP Victoria/Daniel, and the members of the Luxembourg who were guests at their 2011 wedding.

Eyewitnesses tell us Meghan attempted to be as incognito as possible -- with 4 bodyguards in tow -- when she entered the VFS Global UK Visa Application Centre Thursday in Chicago. We're told she was there to finalize her application for a UK visa.
The whole thing only took about 10 minutes, and the entire office was cleared for her. We're told she was friendly with the staff. As for her disguise -- shades and a White Sox cap to blend in with locals. The Chicago Tribune got a glimpse of her at O'Hare Airport.
