Prince Harry engaged to Meghan Markle

[DOTR]

Big change compared to 1936.

Why? It's not like Harry is abdicating.

The attitudes, and all that went with it! Social change, and conventions. That sort of thing.

There hasn't been any change in the family. Harry has his own demons to slay. If Harry were the heir to the crown then he would be required to abdicate to marry this girl. No difference.

Harry has a lot of baggage over his mother's death. This marriage of rebellion isn't going to help. This is not a marriage to last.

he could have wed a dozen times the past decade if it were just for rebellion!

No not really. It i possible he tried but he needs the consent of the Queen, both Houses of Parliament and the Church of England in order to marry under the Succession to the Crown Act.

Why would this be a "marriage of rebellion"? It just seems to be two people who have found each other. No one other than themselves can know what it is like when they are alone together: laugh? cry? have hot sex? Tickle each other? All of the above?
Remember how long it took for Harry's father to finally wed the love of his life after his sham marriage to Harry's mother, who just was selected because she was a virgin and royal.
If Harry and Meghan are in the same bed together and happy when the lights go out, this is all that matters.

Should never have married Diana. She was basically a brood mare.

Camille was considered to be not aristocratic enough in those days. Can you imagine?

Camille is 100% better than Diana, not sure why Charles didn't get married to Camilla in the 1970s or perhaps she was already married I'll have to Google.

IMHO the best British Royal was Princess Margaret and they destroyed her life and she went into alcoholism, all this because she wanted to marry that Peter ???? in the 1950s and was told she couldn't because he was divorced and he was very suave and well educated and from good stock.

Now look at this Harry the Oil Driller and the MSM are orgasmic because he's OMG being Diverse and Multicultural. WTF pathetic.

Unless things are stopped probably Prince George when he grows up will be told he's got to marry a Kebab woman from Pakistan or whatever, the British are going so far down the toilet now with Infinity Immigration they'll have to have a Paki Queen.

Prince George, now a toddler, will marry whomever he wants to marry. I don't know where your prejudice against Pakistani people comes from.

Not legally he wont. As the heir he will marry whoever he is permitted to marry. Hopefully they wont make a Diana mistake again.

Latest update.

Meghan wants to take out British citizenship.

I wonder how she'll like the weather.

How will they get around her being Catholic? Will they have two ceremonies? They are prohibited by law from raising children as Catholic. Maybe she will convert.

I don't know. Good question.

One of the Royal brides from the past had to give up her Catholicism. Can't remember who it was.

And of them is Jewish. Don't know what they did about that.

My view is: the Establishment don't want to risk rocking the boat, and incurring the wrath of the British public, after the Diana debacle.

Prince Harry to marry Meghan Markle at Windsor Castle in May

The couple are planning to involve members of the public in the proceedings in some form yet to be determined.

“It will be a moment of fun and joy that will reflect the character of the bride and groom,” said their spokesman.

Markle, 36, who is American, will also become a British citizen and will be baptised and confirmed into the Church of England before the wedding, Kensington Palace announced.

And it said the royal family would pay for the wedding, including the church service, the music, the flowers and the reception.

I doubt she is much of a Catholic. Shake some bells and do some chanting and she will never know the difference. I suppose her children will be raised CoE though for what that's worth. Their leader, the Archbishop of Canterbury, understands Muslims, homosexuals and atheists but Christians baffle him.

My post #246 clearly says she will become Church of England and a British citizen.

Question answered. She will convert and be Anglican before the marriage will be permitted to take place.

And he will continue to move down. He is now head of a cadet branch and so they dont care who he marries. Maybe they figured they could make liberals happy by finding a divorced catholic american with black blood for a throwaway?
He is 6th in the line of succession and will move to 7th and thus outside the Succession to the Crown Act when kate has her next child.

The royals have become more Liberal, thank God.

Prince Harry engaged to Meghan Markle

The British royal family officially announced Prince Harry's engagement to actress Meghan Markle on Monday, with the wedding set to take place in spring 2018. The couple now begin a media blitz, beginning with an interview that will air on British television later tonight.

What they're saying: Harry's brother and sister-in-law, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, issued a statement: "We are very excited for Harry and Meghan. It has been wonderful getting to know Meghan and to see how happy she and Harry are together."

It's always about politics with you clowns isn't it. Why is it not possible for a man to love a woman and not have a bunch of self appointed "experts" telling everyone how they need to live their lives. You people are pathetic.

They’re only having a modest ceremony in St George’s chapel, it only fits 800 guests!

Questions were being asked who was going to pay for it? The tax payers?
But it's come out that the Royal Family will fund the proceedings.

It will be nothing like the extravagance of Westminster Abbey.

Meaning the Duchy of Lancaster and the Duchy of Cornwall will pay for it.

Royal marriages always have a political element. Always.
