Another Royal Wedding. AIBU to leave the country?

[TottieandMarchpane]

Anyone got an island to hold a republican festival on?

I am a republican who would like to see the monarchy abolished.

However, even I feel sorry for Meghan when I read threads like this!

How on earth has a thread about Beatrice's marriage turned into a Meghan-bashing thread?

If they've got any sense - - they will get married abroad where Andy might keep his head down. Not a chance.

She wore a coat that screamed I am pref with the world's press looking on, it was only going to cause feverish speculation on a day that wasn't about her

And it is a truth universally acknowledged on Mumsnet that there's only a finite amount of attention in the air on a wedding day, and the second a pregnancy announcement is made or a bump discreetly suggests itself, it trumps everything and all the available attention zooms straight to the owner of the womb in question, leaving the person in the white dress and veil crying and throwing her bouquet to an empty ballroom, while everyone else plays 'Guess the Sex'.

I hope Harry and missus are able to bugger off and live abroad. The rubbish written by over invested royal worshippers on MN is unreal. He didn't choose you, get over it.

Is she really going to be stepmum to a kid called "Wolfie"?

I don't see how anyone could think this was a nice thing to do

Easily confused are you?

The only fact that is indisputable is that we don’t know whether the family already knew, whether Eugenie helped her bloody choose the outfit etc.

It is just yet another utterly boring and puerile way to bash someone without foundation.

She was only just pregnant and barely showing, she could easily have worn something less obvious.

In fairness, there was speculation that she ‘looked pregnant’ in the engagement photos and also the photos released this week.

So given that to some eyes she looks pregnant when she isn’t, I can’t imagine what she could have worn to not look pregnant when she is.

The bashers always find a way.

I really hope this wedding is kept very low scale and small.

Edo was still living with Dara (and their son) when he was dating Beatrice. There was definite overlap

I have to admit I didn't know about this. Her business of course, but let's hope she's not taking too big a risk

OP You can leave the country if you want to, but you should at least acknowledge the irony of all of us only knowing about this wedding because You have started a thread about it.
Pretty easy not to watch even if it is on TV. Pretty easy not to read gossip magazines too. Most people don't, you know.

I love a royal wedding. We need something positive in this country at the moment.
The royal family generate a large amount of money for this country (much more than they receive) so without them we would all have to pay more tax.
I wish them all the best.

The timing of the announcement is very weird. I think Prince Andrew is behind this, hoping a wedding will distract from the sex offender allegations that aren’t going away. He is that stupid and this is exactly the type of thing PR advisors are paid to do.

SoMuchToBits maybe you could have a royal wedding where things do not go to the usual marvellously arranged Playmo plan?

I don't know, Fuzzy, but I have got my Playmobil planner out and am making notes with various ideas...

No need to leave the country OP, just do what I have done over the very many years of royal weddings.

Just ignore it and get on with your day.

Simply... the racists never take a break. If this thread were about global warming there Meghan would still be at fault. Thank heavens she's half white because had she been black Mumsnet would be running riot!

I prefer Meghan to Beatrice actually.

I like Meghan a lot (and think she's stunningly pretty) but didn't like what she did at Eugenie's wedding.

Anyway I wish Beatrice and her future husband every happiness. I love a royal wedding!

How do you pronounce his name?

I really enjoy royal weddings and usually watch them. I think Beatrice's will be on a par with Eugenie's, televised and at Windsor (if that is what she wants).

For people commenting that Edo still lived with Dara when he and Beatrice got together, how do you know they weren't separated but still living in the same house as others sometimes do?

There has been talk of an engagement for a while so I don't think it is to detract from the allegations against Prince Andrew. If anything, it will be announced now so that, some time in the near future, Eugenie can announce her pregnancy. If it was the other way around the spotlight would just be on Eugenie. This way, Beatrice gets to enjoy a little time being congratulated on her forthcoming marriage.

The timescale is just 2020 atm. Normally they are announced about 5 months in advance but, if Eugenie is pregnant, I think they will arrange it for after she has given birth.

What has people commenting on Meghan wearing a dress to Eugenie's wedding, where we could tell she was pregnant, got to do with racism?

If you call people out for being racists when they are not then people will stop listening and supporting others when people are genuinely being racist.

For whatever reason, some people don't like Meghan in the same way that people have expressed on this thread that they don't like the whole of the York family. Most of us don't even know them on a personal level so it beats me how anyone on here can say they don't like any of them.

It is only fair that Beatrice has a proper, grand wedding like Eugenie did - after all they are sisters! Also, both of them are Royal Princesses - there are no others around, apart from Princess Anne and Princess Alexandra - which means they get the whole works! I never liked Beatrice much before, but I thought she looked and spoke well at Eugenie's wedding and she just looks SO happy in the pictures. Wish them both well.
