Lady Colin Campbell says it was Princess Anne who made the comment

[BlackCatShadow]

There was a lot of speculation who made the comment after Harry and Meghan's Oprah interview.

She says it wasn't a racist comment. The family were concerned about Meghan in general and it has been twisted by Meghan and Harry.

I don't think Meghan and Harry are on Lady C's Christmas card list. 😲

Hmm well I think it’s clear she lied about the wedding taking place 3 days earlier 🤷🏻‍♀️

The church thing is not legally binding. When you walk into a church and have a pastor or whatever he is bless you and you take this ring, to love and to hold, sickness and health, that's religious. What happens simultaneously is the signing of the registrar. That's the legal bit. Walking into a church and having a priest do something a bit woo, does not make you married in law. She and Harry could however have had a private ceremony. Absolutely possible given the circumstances.

She and Harry met with the AofC exchanged private vows, it was a wedding to them though obviously not a legal one. It wasn't a lie. It was also something quite a lot of people do.

If I wanted to marry my DP, I could easily have a Gospel choir and a BBQ and a priest/pastor/shaman of my chosing to marry us.
To be legally married I need to sign that piece of paper
I'd say that Meghan Harry had an intimate ceremony which felt close to them as nobody could intrude and then they went and did the full on official and public thing.

Or it was a rehearsal . . .

I think some people think that a church wedding means that you're legally married. You're not, until you sign the registrar with witnesses (usually Matron of Honour/Chief Bridesmaid and Best Man). Hollywood sort of endorses this idea that the minute that ring is on the finger, that's it. But the whole wedding thing is decoration. The signing of the register afterwards, with witnesses, is the lawfully binding marriage.

Does that make sense?

Technically, I could waltz in with a different man every two years and have have my father walk me up the aisle. If I did not sign that document, it was nothing but a religious ceremony.

Yes, I have often found myself rehearsing for a grand cathedral in my back garden...........

I don't know where to start with this one! The signing of the register is not a necessary element of some marriages. The reading of the banns, issuing of a licence, qualification of the celebrant, evidence of compliance with Marriage Act, are all necessary elements for a valid marriage.

It's all there in the Marriage Act 1949 as amended.

What does she know she married somebody or other in 70s divorced in 70s and probably has no contact with rf since I have never seen her at any events she wasn't at the wedding (was she?!) she is just a media person wanting attention. The rf have shut up and are prob hoping everyone forgets all about it. Anne would be a good guess though cos she's outspoken and doesn't like people and if u believe the crown didn't like Diana either but who cares lady wotserface has naff all to do with royal family just cos she's a hilarious snob with a posh voice doesn't make her an authority on private royal family conversations.

The media are now starting to find a further truth unravel now. Something to do with them saying no plans before they left the UK. Apparently in reality Haz and their media guy had several meetings with a production company or something 🤷‍♀️

I actually see them as royal refugees. They literally had to get out. Meghan was being suffocated (by her own admission she was suicidal at times) and Harry loves her and desperately wants to protect his family.
I imagine it would have gone down like it might have if I had started dating Harry. I would not have been welcomed but they would have smiled at me politely. I would be ridiculed between them all and for a while it might not have mattered, but when it came to my unborn child and my colour, THEN I'D HAVE LOST THE FUCKING PLOT.

It's the commoner in me probably. Or the Irish royalty. Take your pick.

Not sure that a couple of millionaires can be described as refugees. However though I don't think they had it as bad as they say. Yes they did the right thing to leave if so unhappy.

It is just a shame that the talk of life quiet life in another country didn't happen. None of this car crash is going to be good for anyone including them and the kids long term.

I did watch this video out if curiosity.
There was talk in the US of a big name and shame show, saying it was Anne.
Also how are we not talking about the bit about Meghan slapping someone who was fitting her dress?
And that she bullied Charlotte, a 3 year old child?

They never wanted a quiet life. That is part of their roles and their lives. What they don't want is for Meghan to be attacked by Piers Morgan every fucking morning. They want to be able to control media about them, much like I do not publish photos of my Friday nights at 9pm when I'm licking the inside of a cab. That shit I will share on Facebook. On LinkedIn, I've a totally different profile and 'butter wouldn't melt'.
I want to control what horrific photos of me are put online lol. That's all that they are trying to do. Look lads - if we want to release a press conference, we'll inform you - stop following us.

I know that's not going to happen for them I suppose, but I think Meghan is incredibly strong and will enable Harry to be himself.

What? They are two pretty serious allegations? Who are you to have knowledge of this? You know that you can't just spew this sort of shit out? You should be done for libel! Good God, not even a tabloid has hinted at such shite.

It's in the video. watch it.

@Whythesadface

It's in the video. watch it.

What video? If you have video evidence of her slapping someone and bullying a toddler, then fuck me, but let us see it.

The link was posted by OP. It's about 25 mins in.

Starts about 28 mins.

Meghan didn’t say they had a wedding rehearsal or exchange private vows. She said they got married 3 days before. It’s not the same.

I’m well aware of the church not being legal unless registrar is signed, banns are called etc. I’m Greek & my church wedding part was not legal nor were my siblings or InLaws. We were all legally married in a registry office with witnesses a few days before like lots of my Indian & Turkish friends. The church & mosque is the religious part & that cannot happen unless the legal part is first.

I wouldn’t lay credence to Meghan slapping someone or bullying Charlotte. I haven’t watched the LCC video and if that’s what she alleges Meghan should take appropriate action imo.

@Whythesadface

I would suggest people start at 24 mins and watch to around 29 mins and see what she says about Oprah, Gayle, Meghan, Harry and "Scabies" She calls (I'm presuming) Omar Scobie "Goebbels, Head of Propaganda, putting on what I'm guessing is meant to be a German accent before going on a tangent and using a well known and highly offensive slur.

She call them "rats". She goes on to say that no matter how much plastic surgery a "rat" has, no matter how fancy their clothes, no matter how many skin treatments, no matter how many wigs one has, everyone can see that they are a rat.

What the fuck was that? Because it sounds like a nasty, sly racist comment to me. Students of history will join me in recognising that slur and that comment and know exactly what she means.

It's repulsive language and a repulsive sentiment and I'm not sure what else there is to say about a person who would say such things.

Sorry, I should be clear, CC calls a person who I am presuming to be Omar Scobie, both "Scabies" and "Goebbels, Head of Propaganda".

I do find the Woman odd, and yes some things she says are beyond what I feel is acceptable, but she has broken many stories and seems to know people who do know.
There are also several other reports about Charlotte and the other bridesmaids, just not reported in the UK and the not wearing socks or tights and having blisters, is something I know my child has had happen when wearing new shoes.
There were rumours about the dress comments just after the wedding and it all sort of makes sense.

i refuse to watch the video. I am not giving clicks to that vile person.
sadly all the made up crap she says will now be repeated.
I really hope some one sues the fuck out of her.

It would have been less confusing if to the 'We got married three days before' part Meghan had added 'from our own emotional perspective because that was when we exchanged private vows.'

And I do think that's what happened. It might be fashionable in the States in certain quarters.

The AoC is being coy but I think it's plausible he allowed M&H to read out their private vows to each other in advance. M loves calligraphy and is proud of her skill in this area. It will have been her idea, I'm suggesting, to write out her vow to H and H's vow to her in flowery script. (I hope H will have at least been able to come up with his own words!) The vows written in M's careful calligraphy will have then been framed and put up on the wall.

So my guess is that M was providing the 'clickbait' headline without giving due context.
