Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Wedding St George's Chapel Windsor 19/5/18 - Part 2

How would some Rosarita person in dire need of money get Tom's medical records?

[wannable]

The same way by association people get hold to and sell it to a author, journalist, press, publisher.

[Kritter]

One's medical records are not with the patient.

[TLLK]

By a blabbing Doctor,nSecretary, best friend. Who won't be the first.

Sadly it won't be the first time that someone has either sold or hacked into medical information to give to a tabloid.  :shrug:

[Kritter]

^ Is that his medical or mental?

[wannable]

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

[TLLK]

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.

[Kritter]

The wedding isn't until May. Why does everyone assume he won't be there?

[Curryong]

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.

Royal Wedding: 13,700 sign petition against Meghan Markle and Harry taxpayer funding | Royal | News | Express.co.uk

A 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.

[Curryong]

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...

[Curryong]

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...

[wannable]

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.

[Curryong]

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.

[Kritter]

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.

With so many threats against the Bride already I think security will cost more this time.

Will this be the royal carriage Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will use on their wedding day? ? Royal Central

For anyone travelling to Windsor on 19 May to watch Prince Harry and Meghan Markle wed, your best shot at getting a glimpse of the happy couple will be as they take on a carriage procession through the town.

The Royal Family owns some pretty impressive carriages which The Queen has given her permission to use, so which one will the newlyweds make jaunt around the town in?

The Queen formally gives her consent to Prince Harry and Meghan | Daily Mail Online

The Queen has given her formal consent to the marriage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

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'.

[wannable]

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.

'Our Most Dearly Beloved Grandson Prince William Arthur Philip Louis of Wales, K.G. and Our Trusty and Well-beloved Catherine Elizabeth Middleton''.

[Kritter]

The same language & wording would be used for everyone with the exception of names & relationship to the Queen.

[TLLK]

 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 Queen Officially Gives Consent to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Marriage

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will likely receive their own beautifully framed and sealed Instrument of Consent after their wedding. (It's obviously a handcrafted item which will take time to create.)

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.

[TLLK]

@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.
