I am waiting with interest to find out what happens next, following on from this afternoon's talks at Sandringham.

Poor old Queen. She can't have finished the leftover turkey yet and here she is, embroiled in another crisis.

I liked Meghan at the beginning too.
The engagement interview turned me off her, her pose her stare it was like a romantic movie she came across fake.
I don't doubt they're genuinely in love.

The only support they will have now is Doria. That’s it.

Beatrice does not deserve attention-seeking, of the MM sort, at her wedding. Her father has already let her down.

ChardonnaysDistantCousin · 13/01/2020 20:02

They seen to be running out of people to alienate, so hopefully they have achieved happiness now.

Feel a bit sorry for the child who will grow up not knowing his cousins, but I'm sure Harry and Meghan have taken this into consideration.

MrsBrentford · 13/01/2020 20:03

Hmm esp as Harry grew up close with his cousins Sad

@herehoovesthinkzebra.....Who has only 1 family member at their wedding? People who only have 1 family member

This popped up on something I was looking at earlier today and made me feel a bit Sad

Talk about between a rock and a hard place - gonna be really difficult for him (particularly if as stated he is not in a mentally strong frame of mind).

@MrsBrentford

I can picture it now Fergie swinging a handbag at Meghan, Anne shouting "leave it out Sarah, she's not worth it" Harry screaming at Andrew, Edward cowering behind the sofa and Kate and Will standing on a balcony next to Beatrice and husband waving and smiling whispering through gritted teeth "just wave and smile"

You may not know how things may work out after 30 years, but we are are only about 20 months on from that very big , very expensive, very well publicised wedding.

Did you mean Andrew when you said
"..... imagine sitting around the dinner table with Edward."

Unless I missed something about Edward. I think he's quite inoffensive now.

MaButterface · 13/01/2020 20:07

If Americans / Canadians pay top dollar to hear the hustler or his hypocrite showgirl speaks, they are utter idiots.

Yes Andrew not Edward

What a mess.

So the UK funds the wedding, home, trips, etc but isn’t good enough for her to live in. Not only does it give her anxiety attacks but if ever UK residents raise their well founded criticisms, they’re labelled racist.

Unwelcoming and racist. The new post-Brexit slogan.

He did. Apparently he and Zara are very close.

Needmorecaffine · 13/01/2020 20:10

When is Beatrice's wedding ?

MrsBrentford · 13/01/2020 20:10

I’m sorry but I think the anxiety attacks us a load of guff so we feel sorry for her.

She strikes me as the least likely person to get anxious.

She walked down the aisle alone, with millions watching her.

She’s made of steel.

ajandjjmum · 13/01/2020 20:11

Also he is pretty close to Beatrice and Eugenie. Poor Archie.

ElloBrian · 13/01/2020 20:11

And trademarking the Sussex brand with a big list of all the things they could use it for ... and that totally cringe website ...

Nope, sorry, tacky as fuck. No class, that woman. Embarrassed for her.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 13/01/2020 20:12

Thing is; leave aside being wealthy / royal
Harry is now giving up everything for Meghan’s happiness.
His family, his country, his heritage.

Prince Phillip refused to see him; leaving Sandringham before her
Harry arrived ( leaving in a car with his « long term carriage driving partner»; Lady Mountbatten; but that’s a whole other story).
There is a possibility that Harry May never see his grandfather again.

One could argue that Meghan did the same. But really what did she give up. A few friends in Toronto and a blog ? She was written out of Suits and I think it has ended now anyway.

I think Harry thought they would be amazing humanitarians together and potentially live in Africa. Instead he is going to be Mr Meghan Markle; touting for business for his wife in the US.
Instead of external pressures; I suspect the pressures will be internal to their relationship.
Harry may well return on his own for Royal events. I don’t think Meghan would have the gall to get up on the BP balcony again.

Oakenbeach · 13/01/2020 20:13

or she only agreed to all of that on the understanding that after they have a baby she gets to move back to Canada and Harry's just keeping his side of the deal.

Because it’s so reasonable to be expected to have your cake, eat it, go back for seconds, take another slice, and then complain when you don’t get offered any more! Hmm

ChardonnaysDistantCousin · 13/01/2020 20:14

The Royal family have there fair share of dysfunction, imagine sitting round the dinner table with Edward?

Edward and Sophie appear quite reasonable, I wouldn’t mind.

Sparklyyear · 13/01/2020 20:14

Judging by this thread, I'm not surprised that she wants to go.

The sheer hatred towards a woman that none of us know personally is crazy.

We don't know her, we don't know the Royals (as much as we might like to think we do). Most of it is all rumours and speculation.

NumbersStation · 13/01/2020 20:15

I can’t help but wish she’d have been better being more successful when she was sniffing round Ashley.

The worst we would have been subjected to press wise would have been Biffa walloping her one in the lavvy.
