Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Wedding St George's Chapel Windsor 19/5/18 - Part 3

[Curryong]

Official details with reference to the wedding of Harry and Meghan on May 19th, issued by KP after a Press briefing at the palace this morning.

Doria will accompany her daughter to the Chapel by car. Tom Markle, Meghan's father, will walk her down the aisle. Further details about the Instrument of Consent, bridal party, progress of cake and other arrangements to follow in due course.

So much for Tom Markle Jnr whining that his father wasn't invited!  Dad obviously didn't want to say anything to his two older children (from whom he may well be estranged.)

Thank you for the update information. It appears that more details ie: Bridal party will be released in the future.

I like the compromise made for both Tom Sr. and Doria. :thumbsup: Doria accompanies her daughter by car to SGC to meet Tom who will finish the "journey" by escorting Meghan down the altar.

Im glad KP issued the statement, but it goes to show the high dysfunctionality and stalemate from Meghan's family, she did not act differently at age 31 when hitting Suits.

Sam and Tom Jr are the ones who run to the media. Yet Meghan is bashed? Go figure.

[TLLK]

It's exactly the same arrangements per refreshments that was made at Sophie and Edward's wedding. They didn't have burger and doughnut stands on the Long Walk. And KP have apparently stated that light snacks and refreshments will be available at the castle.

Yes I would expect that there would be items for sale as people would need something to eat/drink during the day. However the one thing that surprises me is that people are allowed to bring items. IMHO the first thing I thought of was security. Yes I do realize that everyone invited to the be on the Long Walk have been screened but allowing people to bring their own food/beverage containers seems like it could be a security risk. Especially in the light of the increased acid attacks in the UK. (Maybe I've just done too much airport travel in recent years, because the only liquids that can be brought on a plane must be purchased once you're past security.)

[TLLK]

I distinctly remember suggesting here that Camilla would be a very good role model and confidant for Meghan.

I do agree that Camilla who has endured and continues to face criticism for her past will be someone who can offer advice to her step-daughter-in-law on how to cope with the slings and arrows in private and in public.  :nod: If anything she can explain that there will be some who will never accept you, but to try and focus doing your best as a representative of HM.

[wannable]

Both Prince Charles and Camilla will be acting as surrogate parents to Meghan, as Doria and Tom live very far away.  The face to face presence is important too.   They already helped by being physically present during her Baptism/Confirmation.   Meghan does not have what Kate has, whenever she feels like visiting her parents in Berks.

[Curryong]

Meghan's exes have never spoken to journalists about her and in fact Corey and his mother were nice.

I was actually feeling great about some of the details of this wedding being released today. The fact that the RF will be very hospitable to Meghan's parents as to ask them to stay at the Castle overnight after the wedding, for instance, is lovely, I think, as is the projected reading at the ceremony by Jane Fellowes.

But no, we have to have negativity and nastiness about the future bride's character, about her past life, about the catering arrangements at the castle, slurs about people only being invited as a rent a crowd, etc etc.

Is this going to continue during the wedding day one might ask, the constant digs and criticism, I mean?

If it does, and I'm sure it will, thank God I shall be elsewhere, with people who are happy these two people who are in love and getting married, and think it's great that those around them are enjoying the ceremony and the whole atmosphere!

[sandy]

There are more than enough interviews of Kins, ex friends, ex boyfriend and ex husband close friends to understand the case studies of dysfunctionality in broken families. 

The ex husband and ex boyfriend have not spoken out. Her fake friend did and her bitter half siblings.

There can also be dyfunction (Big Time) in non broken families.

[TLLK]

Both Prince Charles and Camilla will be acting as surrogate parents to Meghan, as Doria and Tom live very far away.  The face to face presence is important too.   They already helped by being physically present during her Baptism/Confirmation.   Meghan does not have what Kate has, whenever she feels like visiting her parents in Berks.

I agree that the PoW and DoC as well as the Queen/DoE and the Cambridges can advise Charles' newest daughter-in-law on what to expect regarding British life/culture, royal protocol, dealing with the media and being a part of the extended Windsor family. As to any unfavorable press (which is part and parcel of being a royal) who else can best explain how to cope but the people who have to deal with it.  :shrug:

Meghan is an intelligent woman who undoubtedly understands that those who actually are part of the BRF are the experts as they live the life 24/7.  :thumbsup:

That what I?m mention on post before baby Louis too young attend till christening

HELLO!'s royal correspondent, Emily Nash, had previously said that it would make sense for Prince Louis to stay at home with the children's nanny Maria Borrallo, or even with grandmother Carole Middleton. "William and Kate will both be busy on the wedding day, as he carries out his best man duties and she oversees George and Charlotte?s involvement in the ceremony," said Emily. "I would expect nanny Maria Borrallo or Carole Middleton to be on hand to look after Prince Louis while they are in St George?s Chapel. But as he will be less than a month old, I?m sure Kate will want him nearby, even if we don?t see him at the service."

That's a no brainer. Why would an infant be brought to a wedding?

[Curryong]

No, if Louis needed feeding and screamed throughout the ceremony it would not be a good look!

[sara8150]

No, if Louis needed feeding and screamed throughout the ceremony it would not be a good look!

I?m agreed with you!! Not idea for bring the baby to wedding include vows,music,Queen and mores but Kate wanted close the newborn Kate makes decisions to watch baby her mom or nanny we have wait and see till may 19th

The real question is Prince Phillip if he will be sufficiently recovered or not. 


There is a lot of difference with face to face, rather than social media communication.

The negative comments are as it is versus what Harry and Meghan could have should have done to lessen such situations. As I have read from psychologists; Harry by actually having visited Tom or pay for Tom to come pre or immediate post engagement and Humanitarians who have suggested She writing personal letters to estranged family members. It doesn't matter if they would sell the letters in ebay or whatever. It will just give her so many points and the utmost Lady Upper Hand of who She is.   Unfortunately none of this happened, hence what we see is what we get.  The interviews of so many people of her past is the dysfunction she acquired .

I think Prince Philip will go. I can only imagine the Meghan bashers feasting on that saying he was just "making excuses" not to go.

It is a form of communication in this day and age. And grandparents for instance can skype grandchildren in other states or countries.

Harry and Meghan lessened the situation by not dignifying Tom JR and Samantha's bashing with any sort of "retaliation."

@Curryong all incoming brides to royal families have been criticized pre and post wedding. 

I did read and was curious with broken families and dysfunctional just recently as of January due to H&M engagement announcement and the amount of articles with interviews and book writing and what came out of it.  I am more understanding of Meghan's behavior because as I said her normal upbringing and surrounding was highly dysfunctional and she repeated it as an adult. I believe Harry's comment of the Family She Never Had will help her. All the broken will not be there, compare and contrast how both William and Kate invited their friends and exes tells a tale of the psychologists and humanitarians of what to do, hence my previous comments. I am sorry that Meghan did not receive the help previous to departing LA to Toronto as things may have been different.

@sandy officials at KP have notified the press pack that depending PP's recovery conditions he may or may not be there, this has nothing to do with antimeghanites, hence my comment on the real question is if he will make it to the wedding rather than baby Louis who will be with his nanny so both parents may assist to H&M wedding.

In reference to forms of communication with parents, family and friends....there will always be a difference from social media and lets meet face to face.

The point is not Retaliation, the point is She has a history of ridding people, because of her dysfunctional upbringing and carrying out what she was brought up with, if she had the needed help, she would have written the personal letters and have the Ladylike Upper Hand.

Not the way Meghan has! With all the nasty talk of the fictional "extra" husband and the calling her an "escort" (or worse).

She has a mother and father who are going to the wedding. She has parents.


You have not met Meghan nor have any license to practice psychiatry so you don't treat patients. You are just projecting your dislike of her.  Some people from "happy and close" families have become terrorists. So much for the theory that the messed up ones are always from dysfunctional families.

She has the "ladylike" upper hand because she did not dignify the bashing with a response.

[TLLK]

You are just projecting your dislike of her.

@sandy-Very true and all of the royal brides and to some degree the royal grooms have had to deal with people who "project their dislike" on to Mary, Maxima, Camilla, Kate, Diana, etc...even Eugenie's Jack is dealing with this as people claim their affection for each other is "fake." Public figures can't fight a  constant battle against those who will steadfastly hold on to bitter feelings.

It would be a waste of time and energy to try and reason with small minded individuals. Meghan's best advice from her Windsor in-laws would be to focus upon being the best representative for her new country, her future patronages and her new family members.  :)

The real question is Prince Phillip if he will be sufficiently recovered or not. 

@wannable-I believe that those medical professionals who performed the surgery and are providing rehab chose an optimal time frame for Prince Phillip to recover. That being said, this is a man in his nineties so hopefully he's going to be well enough to be present.

I wasn't talking about incessant negative comments elsewhere when I spoke about ongoing criticism and digs on and on about Meghan, exes, about caterers, catering for  people outside the castle etc when I posted before but about the constant negativity about Meghan and about the coming wedding by a particular poster here, on Royal Insight.

As a long time member of various royal forums, yes some of these comments are going to continue because on an online discussion forum you'll have critics and fans.  :) Even royal weddings dating back 30, 20, 10, 5 years still have posters who will make negative comments about bouquets, guests' wardrobes, ceremonies etc.. CP Frederik and Mary Donaldson's wedding still is in regular discussion on one particular site.  Compared to the "dishiest" and "most gossipy" forums, nothing that is posted here truly compares to the volume of negative comments made on those sites.

[wannable]

We are 6, 3 brothers and 3 sisters, the eldest sister is a psychologists.  The fact that in the real world Meghan Markle fawned toadied to a real person (Ivanna) and later trashed the father (Donald) publicly and notoriously, plus the pattern of ridding people in her life. Plus reading case studies of broken family and dysfunctional levels, which equated to all being affected with a result of being DISLOYAL, all of the Markle family, including Meghan and her father Tom. The dysfunction of lying to his family that he was not invited, imagine the level of dysfunction they ALL have.

Her normal dysfunction upbringing, she did not see it wrong to trash, it did not cross her mind before hitting send.

[sandy]

Did your eldest sister treat Meghan? I thought not.

You can't diagnose someone because your sister (who never diagnosed or even met Meghan) is a psychologist.

A lot of people criticize Trump.

What "pattern" of ridding people? She moved to Canada, she has loyal friends not the fake ones who want to make money by deriding her. There are many who have unsuccessful first marriages and stay married to the second one for life. So you accuse them of ridding people if they get a divorce from the first husband?

Everybody faces dysfunction. The only perfect families are the fictional ones on the sitcoms. There is such a thing as real life.

[wannable]

The level of dysfunction with Meghan and her family is public and notorious.  We would not have the amount of soap opera, interviews or people saying the same pattern of MM ways.

[Curryong]

The fact that your sister is a psychologist does not make you one. And similarly reading cases about disfunctional families does not make you an expert in them.

I have a cousin who is a neurosurgeon. That does not qualify me, a retired social worker (with decades of experience in dealing with damaged families, I might add,) to ring him up one day and offer to help with his operations because I have a few books on the subject of diseases of the brain.

And I ask again. as you are so interested in people dropping their friends, relatives and others, why don't you write to Carole Middleton, who has experience in such matters?

By the way, there have been persistent rumours for years that Carole and Mike Middleton lead separate lives and she lives mostly at KP now. So perhaps the Middleton clan aren't the perfect tight unit they've always been touted as being.

[wannable]

I did not ring her, my sister only needs to read and there is a clear pattern from Meghan and her family all included.  Now if MM fans wish to ignore the multiple and the amount of people whom have been interviewed where there is a clear pattern, go ahead its your prerogative. A pattern is established when there is more than a number of people or items versus 1.

A neurosurgeon would need to read (in this case lab, blood, xray, etc) to give his/her opinion, and to you too whoever rings who.
