Mum - the daily mail readers are obsessed!
They are not happy at all. (Mostly. )
So no change there!

When they're safely in their little den of hate, in the DM comments section, they can stew in their own collective bitterness.

It's when they lurch and slither over to MN to spread their own special brand of impotent, pathetic rage that we learn what lies and paranoia they're currently swimming mindlessly in.

I wonder what the Queen makes of it all - I'd love to be a fly on the wall in her rooms.

She's probably thank god there's been no toe sucking, Nazi salutes, weed smoking or tampax talk so far! Poor markles what kind of family are they getting into Grin

Lulu whoops! Shows how much I remember! Blush

Justmuddlingalong · 15/05/2018 21:48

I love that royal protocol demands that the queen gives her permission for the wedding to go ahead. And yet the groom hasn't even met his future FIL. Bizarre.

HasAnyoneGotAProblemWithThat · 15/05/2018 22:00

I'm even worse. Edward married Sophie. Andrew married Fergie. I'll get my coat.

I don't understand why a 36 year old woman who has been married before needs anyone to walk her down the aisle! She's a grown woman, they live together already, why on Earth don't they just walk down the aisle together....

My in laws did that. It was great - I really liked it.

The whole thing is a car crash. There is no way Meghan knows the extent of what she is getting into and i bet no one has told her. The whole thing seems really rushed and desperate, they haven't even been together that long. Don't see how an actress from California is going to embrace stuffy protocol laden Royal life, boring ribbon cutting ceremonies and draughty castles. I think she thinks she can be a moderniser and shake up the institution and get a bit political. The palace staff will shut her down and Harry will stand back and let them because that's all he knows. Give it a few years and she'll be back on that plane to L.A. with their kids Bikram and Karma. Mr Markle has behaved like an arse with those laughable photos and someone needs to step in and take control of this mess. At least her Mum might restore some dignity to the day.

RhurbabAndCustard · 15/05/2018 22:23

It's not an English wedding without a relative kicking off!

Bearhunter09 · 15/05/2018 22:33

Well it’s a complete mess. Feel so sorry for Meghan. She’s supposed to be centre of attention but now all people are going to be looking at is is her dad there, who’s walking her down the aisle. We won’t be waiting with baited breath to see her dress when she gets out the car but who is in her arm. All eyes will be on the Markles. Are they going to rock up at Windsor kicking off demanding to be let in. Giving interviews taking up the media coverage etc. You would think marrying a prince you would get to be centre of attention for the day but the actual bride and groom are starting to look like a side show to the main event of Tom markle

HateSummer · 15/05/2018 22:34

So now he’s apparently NOT attending because he’s having major heart surgery 😂.

NewYearNewMe18 · 15/05/2018 22:35

Breaking news
changed his mind again - now he isn't

dayswithaY · 15/05/2018 22:35

Sounds convenient.

HasAnyoneGotAProblemWithThat · 15/05/2018 22:36

What a mess.

dayinlifeof · 15/05/2018 22:36

There does seem to be a distance between father and sons.

There was a huge gulf between his parents and him, he probably doesn't know any different and being the absent father a lot of the time probably didn't help. There was a documentary about the Queen recently which was saying what a distant mother she was to Charles but less so to Edward and Andrew.

Beesarmy · 15/05/2018 22:40

Told y’all it’s a big mess. Like I said the family is trash

LaurieMarlow · 15/05/2018 22:43

They're not trashier than the windsors though, in all fairness. The royals set a low bar.

Could you define 'trash'?

perroy · 15/05/2018 22:45

Apparently now he wont.

I am so not reading any news for the next few days.

SheGotBetteDavisEyes · 15/05/2018 22:46

...as in what do you mean by it; I'm aware of the dictionary definition.

sixtimesseven · 15/05/2018 22:47

How did they think they could have a hugely public wedding with her family estrangements on show?

Why wouldn't they get the family to sign confidentiality waivers (and compensate them as clearly they need money) before all of this could implode?

It's like they didn't think it through at all.

Bearhunter09 · 15/05/2018 22:50

I’m assuming he won’t be getting an invite to sandringham at Christmas! What’s the betting trailer trash half sister/drunken half brother make some comment about how they can’t believe the wedding is going ahead with their darling daddy fighting for his life

You sound absolutely charming, Beesarmy Hmm

Justmuddlingalong · 15/05/2018 22:56

It wouldn't surprise me if one of the tabloids offered to fly her half sister or brother over. It also wouldn't surprise me if they accepted. Hmm
