QuoteI am wondering if the silence and lack of scrutiny is related to Harry's place in line to the throne?
:goodpost: @Blue Clover. Yes I agree that there is less scrutiny because it's very unlikely that Harry would ever become the monarch unless there is a terrible tragedy.

Blue Clover

@TLLK Exactly! They really could be giving him a pass to find someone he's personally happy with because he will never be the Monarch.

Will Meghan Markle Wear Princess Diana?s Tiara on Her Wedding Day?

QuoteMeghan Markle already has a piece of Princess Diana?s jewelry collection in her engagement ring, but will the bride-to-be wear the late princess? tiara during her wedding to Prince Harry? Royal expert Ingrid Seward spoke to Us Weekly about why she thinks she will.

That would be great.    :nod:

TBH I believe that loan of the Spencer tiara would depend upon if the owner is in a generous mood and with Charles Spencer that isn't always clear.  :shrug:

More likely Princess Charlotte will wear it at her wedding
I agree @sandy that it is possible, but IMO it's more likely that Charles Spencer's daughters, future daughters-in-law, and nieces might wear it since Princess Charlotte will have other BRF related tiaras to wear. :)

There is even a petition to stop him marrying her, to prevent her from being a member of the royal family.  How insane is that to think you have a say in another persons choice of spouce

Petition ? Theresa May MP: Prevent Meghan Markle having an official title or role in the Royal Family ? Change.org
the message in all of its insanity

we The undersigned believe that Meghan Markle is unsuitable to be a member of the Royal Family and to have an official position in representing this country. She has shown her disrespect for the Monarch and Royal Family by pulling faces and sticking her tongue out to the visitors during her first public appearance with the Queen. Her attitude and actions in Nottingham shows her lack of respect towards Harry.  No member of the Royal Family should have naked images of them freely available on the internet as she does. Her constant sex simulation makes her a laughing stock and an embarrassment to this country. Her previous divorces and cheating on partners does not lend us to believe she will be faithful to Harry. Please prevent her from having an official role or title after her marriage to Harry. Or the other option is to allow Harry to relinquish all his titles and links to the Royal Family, take his mother?s inheritance and go and live in America as a regular citizen. He has stated before that he didn?t want to be Royal so maybe now this is his chance.

I agree  that petition is hate filled and for what?. What if someone who signs it is unhinged and really wants to hurt Meghan--physically or stalk her. Dislike is one thing but obsessive loathing of her is another.  There is no reason to deprive her of a title or keep her from working. However would she prove herself as a royal if she were 'forbidden' to work.

The idea that someone would petition to prevent a marriage or someone having an official role is not new if people really read royal history. I remember there was such a petition in 2005 and the establishment firmly said no. In that event I kinda understood the reasons for the animosity (although I vehemently disagree with them) but this time someone is being judged before she even gets a foot in.

If Harry and Meghan had shown little PDA the petition would say he was repulsed by her and they did not "Really" love each other and so on. She just can't win.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's romantic wedding reception plans 'blocked by royal aides' in favour of 'more practical' venue - Mirror Online

QuoteLike any bride-to-be, Meghan Markle has no doubt been getting busy planning her dream wedding to Prince Harry.

But her hopes of holding the reception in a spot that means a great deal to her and the prince have reportedly been dashed, with royal aides said to have put the kibosh on her romantic plans.

The former actress is said to have been gunning to celebrate their nuptials at the stunning Frogmore House in Windsor Home Park, where they shot their engagement photos.

The stately home, which is where Queen Victoria and Prince Albert are buried, has a particularly special meaning for Meghan given that its where Harry took her for a picnic when they were dating last summer.

The petition is ridiculous. Period.

The next step is:

The Queen has yet to issue the Privy Council of the instrument of consent for Prince Henry and Rachel Meghan Markle.

Quote"Now know ye that We have consented and do by these Presents signify Our Consent to the contracting of Matrimony between Our Most Dearly Beloved Grandson Prince William Arthur Philip Louis of Wales, K.G. and Our Trusty and Well-beloved Catherine Elizabeth Middleton.

Quotethe Instrument of Consent features decorative artwork to represent the groom and bride-to-be.
A gold cipher of the couple's entwined initials beneath the prince's coronet represents the pair. A white lily embodies St Catherine of Siena, whose feast day falls on April 29th and with whom Miss Middleton shares her name.
Beneath it, a Welsh leek surrounded by William's white three-pronged second in line to the throne label, represents Prince William alongside a tiny red shell from the Spencer family Arms.
The heraldic symbol of a red dragon depicts Wales and the UK is present through the three floral emblems; the rose, thistle and shamrock.
The instrument also shows William's blue and gold Order of the Garter belt, and a large gold E for Elizabeth

^^^I agree @wannable that Meghan is better off not making any comments regarding her siblings and other extended family members.

Trumps USA, believable.

Just checking the latest wedding article links, I like Vera Wang, although I'd like to see her Canadian or UK designer.

Frogmore House (within the Windsor estate) would represent GBP 1 million transportation for all the guests from St. George's Chapel versus the short walk to St. George's Hall in Windsor Castle.

The Queen and POW are already paying that amount to/from designated stops routes hotels/Windsor St. George's Chapel (practical walk to the castle reception party), busses again designated stops routes hotels.

The article is incomplete, but that is the major reason.

So they ambushed the man. The press needs to leave her parents alone. They always have Tom Jr. & Samantha to sell them BS.   >(

True, hence I doubt HM will ever use those pictures for any Christmas speech (she used the sunken garden announcement paparazzi pic).  The BRF do use their engagement pictures for their 'copyright' publications.  So we shall see when and if KP will use them for future announcements (they usually add a picture), controlled one at that, if not crop a paparazzi pic.

Yes it would be possible and it's not uncommon for brides to have  a detachable train for their reception. The other option is to have one that can be bustled (gathered and attached to the dress) because it makes it easier to move about then.

sandy

There are those photographic sessions where the train would be in the way. I think a detachable train is very convenient.

Not sure if this is true but the latest on if the former POTUS/FLOTUS will receive a wedding invitation.

Obamas won't be invited to Harry and Meghan's wedding | Daily Mail Online

QuoteReports have suggested that the Foreign Office is nervous about upsetting current president Donald Trump, who has still not visited the UK in an official capacity or met the Queen.

Additionally, the royal family is supposed to remain neutral and above politics and no foreign heads of state were invited to Kate and William's wedding in 2011.
-Um.. King Harald of Norway, Monaco's Prince Albert, GD Henri of Luxembourg and.Queen Margrethe of Denmark who both attended the wedding are most certainly  "foreign heads of state."

During an engagement today, William joked that Harry has not asked him yet to be the Best Man for the Wedding.
