I know there are lots who have no time for the Royals but as a mother I'm delighted that Harry has found his match. I'm also quite thrilled that he's gone against the grain for his atypical princess! Think Diana would have been proud to see him follow his heart.

Me too.

YANBU but there are quite a few threads about this already.

As a mother, I don't really care that two stranger are getting married

BastardGoDarkly · 27/11/2017 10:45

As a miserable cow,I couldn't care less.

An American divorcee, how very un-Royal. Great he’s getting married, shamed it has to be such a big deal. Here’s hoping it will be a quiet and self-paid affair.

I couldn't care less. No doubt it's just another party that will cost the tax payer.

RolfNotRudolf · 27/11/2017 10:50

Yes Midnight do we get to foot the bill? And will his allowance go up when has a wife to support?

As a mother...
Diana would be proud...

Yikes! Didn't realise there were other threads. Sorry! I'm supposed to be working away again my desk but I heard the news and surprised myself at how delighted I was.

Yeah I'm delighted that we will be funding royal wedding. Bread and circuses. I'm sure those using good banks will enjoy it.

Smashpumpkin · 27/11/2017 10:53

Me too OP!

Blahblahblahzeeblah · 27/11/2017 10:58

I very pro-republic but it's always lively news when a couple have fallen in love and decided to get married.

Frederickvonhefferneffer · 27/11/2017 11:00

I don’t think you should give it any emotion or attention. Attention from the public creates an unwelcome media frenzy that can and has hurt people.
Also, they wheel out these fairy stories to appease the masses when they want us to be distracted from the horrible atrocities that are going on in our country.

Witsender · 27/11/2017 11:01

Yeah, I am so far from a royalist it is untrue but think it suits 'him', or his public persona to be marrying Hollywood, someone a bit rock and roll.

BarbarianMum · 27/11/2017 11:01

I just hope the press dont start the "Kate good, Megan bad" dynamic they did with Diana and Sarah Ferguson. Other than that I struggle to get emotional about it.

Allthetuppences · 27/11/2017 11:02

Almost tempted to google. So Prince Harry is getting married? Who knew. How old must I be now!

PurpleMinionMummy · 27/11/2017 11:04

Yanbu. I'm pleased for them.

JustHavinABreak · 27/11/2017 11:05

You're a real delight this morning aren't you araiwa Hmm

As a mother I'm mildly curious as to whether it will work out, or if it will be a modern match in more ways than one.

CheeseCakeSunflowers · 27/11/2017 11:05

I agree, its good news

grannytomine · 27/11/2017 11:07

Who knows how Diana would feel? I always thought she had the makings of the MIL from hell. I hope this doesn't mean we are going to hear nothing else for months.

ThePinkOcelot · 27/11/2017 11:08

Couldn’t give a flying fuck tbh! I quite like Harry, but him getting married or not has no bearing on my life whatsoever!
I really cannot understand how you can be thrilled! I mean, why?!!

MrsJayy · 27/11/2017 11:08

I think it is nice good for them the bitchy comments I have read about Meghan is disgusting my dh will be gutted I am sure he only watched Suits for Meghan Grin

MidnightAura · 27/11/2017 11:09

Meghan has already given up her job to become a "typical princess"
