@JustLyra

The other wedding won’t have been legal if it was in the garden.

Sounded at the beginning like they’re planning announcing if they’re having a boy or girl during the interview.

definitely a girl ... Diana...,

born July 1st 🙄

@Dogatetheleftovers

Apparently the royal wedding wasn’t for them. It was for everyone else. Do you think that’s why they married privately beforehand?
How could they have done it beforehand. The Guardian link describes it as just “Harry, Meghan & the priest” and says nobody knows that apart from them. You can’t legally marry without witnesses. You can’t legally marry twice. What does she mean?

@RickiTarr It’ll have been a non-legally binding service with theArchbishop.

Kinda the opposite of when people do the registry office bit and then have the nice wedding abroad on the beach.

Interested in this thread?

I'm American and I would have known what a royal spouse was expected to do. How can she claim it was all such a big shock?

Who is she complaining about? Aides and employees and staff? Surely the Q wasn't mistreating her.

Kate is not coming out of this looking good.
My cousin in the US has been filling me in

BlueThistles · 08/03/2021 01:29

Kate is being assassinated ... how utterly shameful 😳

Kinsters · 08/03/2021 01:29

My cousin had two weddings - the first was the legal ceremony and the second was the big garden wedding that she wanted. Don't see how the church one wasn't legal though?

PurpleCrocuses · 08/03/2021 01:29

Glad to know that Kate was the bully who made other women cry, and that the RF flat out lied about it.

Btw MM says she was unaware the Queen was more than a celebrity and that she, MM, did not know that Diana ever gave an interview.

No she didn't, she said her MUM didn't know that Diana ever gave an interview. Doria didn't know. Meghan knew.

MsHedgehog · 08/03/2021 01:31

I’m in the UK so can’t watch it yet! What has she said about Kate?!

But why? I thought one of the things they got flak for was personalising the real wedding ceremony the way they wanted it?

That was some of the first friction with the courtiers, I thought; Perfume in the chapel, Tiara hate, “What Meghan wants, Meghan gets”, the unnecessary carriage ride...

Church doesn't marry divorced people, that's why - it was a service of Blessing, you have to marry legally at a register office beforehand, usually same day, with two witnesses. I did that.

GrimDamnFanjo · 08/03/2021 01:31

Wasn't MM once photographed with a book about Diana in the background on a shelf?
Of course no one really knows what an experience is really like but she must have known something about royal expectations?
No one can be that daft?

How can we possibly know anything? There’s so much he said she said, that they all come out of it looking terrible.

It was Kate that made Meghan cry over the flowergirl dresses before the wedding.

She apologised to Meghan for it (in writing and by sending flowers).

Click on the live steam from the BBC/Guardian etc .

It's not a visual but it's a text version of what's being said.

PurpleCrocuses · 08/03/2021 01:33

Why is it that all those third hand stories about Meghan making anonymous unnamed people cry are automatically believed and used to denigrate and abuse Meghan, but a first hand story of Kate making someone cry is dismissed as "character assassination"?

Kate is being assassinated ... how utterly shameful 😳

Stop lying. Meghan said that Kate once made her cry and that Kate then apologised and gave her flowers to apologise. Meghan also said plenty of nice things about Kate.

donewithitalltodayandxmas · 08/03/2021 01:33

@PurpleCrocuses but how do you know its one word against the other surely
Unless you were there

Lampzade · 08/03/2021 01:34

She said that Kate was the one who made her cry, but everyone said it was the other way round.
She said that the Royal Family was prepared to lie to protect others.., hint , hint Andrew

We don’t know which one of them “is the bully”. Maybe neither of them are.
