Royals don't marry for love

[ImJustMadAboutSaffron]

Headline on front page of the Metro seen on the train. Didn't read the article. Said by Harry.

Who's he referring to? His brother?

Bitterness will never be beautiful - no matter how pretty the shell is.

Forgive me, I didn’t watch the show, as after the first, maybe 20 minutes, I turned it off. I never heard such a load of old codswallop in my life, so that was enough.

However, I have a question if anyone would be so kind as to answer.

When P. Harry said that royals don’t marry for love, aside from his own parents, I wonder which royals he was talking about?

P. Andrew and Sarah Ferguson were madly in love and still appear to be in extremely good, if not intimate, terms.

P. Anne married for love - twice!

HM King George and HM Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, were madly in love.

HM King Edward gave up his throne for the Duchess of Windsor so I would imagine that they were definitely in love.

HM Queen Victoria and HRH P. Albert, the Prince Consort were in love and in fact, HM spent the rest of her life in mourning after he passed away.

HM Queen Elizabeth II and HRH P. Philip, Duke of Edinburgh were in love (she definitely was anyway and I should think that he was too because he gave up an awful lot to be with her, such as his name).

P. Edward and HRH The Countess of Wessex were in love.

Zara and Mike Tindal clearly dote in each other.

Peter and Autumn Phillips may be divorcing now, but they were in love.

HRH The Prince of Wales clearly loves his wife and she clearly reciprocates the feeling as you only have to see how they look at each other sometimes, before they go back to “work” mode in public.

I doubt it’s any secret that HM King Charles has been, and still is madly in love with HM Queen Consort Camilla, who still loves him.

P. Eugenie and P. Beatrice have both married for love.

So I can only conclude that P. Harry is talking about himself and the Duchess of Sussex having a loveless relationship and thus, they feel the need to put on a good “show” when people are about!

If anyone can shed light in who these loveless royals are, I would like to know!

@JoanOfAllTrades
I thought the exact same thing. There are plenty of examples in the RF of couples being madly in love- its fairly obvious. There are also some marriages that did not work. How is that spectacularly different to any other large family????

@JoanOfAllTrades , quite a few of those were not couples madly in love with each other. I highly doubt that Wallis Simpson was in love with Edward viii

I dont think she was either but HE was definitely in love with HER and HE was the one with the royal obligation- that is the point. Harry is saying members of the royal family dont marry for love, well it wasnt Wallis who was in the royal family was it?- she could have done anything she wanted to. It was him who gave up the throne, due to being in love with her.

The first poster already answered you.

When Charles said 'Whatever love means', he pretty much told us.

Quite telling how royalists are twisting themselves into knots to point out who is happy . Sounds like you guys doth protest too much, trying to convince us of something you don't believe yourselves about some of the couples.

I think Harry was mainly referring to his dad marrying his mum - that Charles was pressured to marry and not particularly for love. Harry is motivated by his mum - driven by a fierce protectiveness towards her and Charles didn't love his mum. What does a son make of that.

But the only ones obviously unhappy were Charles and Diana - so why didn't Harry just say that, rather than implying no royal can marry for love? Or are H&M supporters twisting themselves in knots to prove only H&M know true lurve?

That narrative is tiring and not fooling anyone.

They respond and brief all the time, via the palace source.

When the palace was trashing newborn baby Lili (regarding her name), did they not say, they will answer back from then on?

This gets the prize for the silliest comment today @susan12345678 unless you're being ironic.

Meghan is not beautiful. She can look attractive, but no more so than Kate.

Celebrity? She's only famous since meeting a prince. Just like Kate. She wasn't an A lister. In relative terms, she'd be a Kym Marsh or Alison forgot her surname who plays Carla in Corrie.

Effervescent? There's room for all different personalities in the world.

Kate's not jealous. Or envious for that matter.

The problem is that because, as seems to be the habit in this documentary, Harry was vague about who he actually does mean, his comments are quite correctly open to interpretation. Given the way the Wales have been implied to be stuffy and dutiful, it’s reasonable to think he was referring to William as well.

You can only think it was K&W if you don't sense the love between them.

No one would think this about Zara or the Yorks, for example.

@ImJustMadAboutSaffron , strangely enough given the thread, the Carla actress has a royal surname. King.

Yes I think all the Royals seem to have married for love bar Charles.

And those who are at great pains to tell us how ruddy bloody happy they are, are the ones whining away on the tv.

If anyone doth protesteth too much it might be them.

They have absolutely all the ingredients to be happy. So be happy.

Even the Scottish National treasure is saying it. And she is usually so far up folks hoops that she can watch the world between their tonsils.

Perhaps you tagged the wrong person @ImJustMadAboutSaffron your post seems to be in agreement with mine?

She's only famous since meeting a prince. Just like Kate. She wasn't an A lister. In relative terms, she'd be a Kym Marsh or Alison forgot her surname who plays Carla in Corrie.

No, not like Kate.

MM was in a popular courtroom show, showing worldwide and very popular in some countries in the top 20, running up to 9 seasons. She was in a few xmas movies (those hallmark have a decidedly large audience, hence some seasonal channels dedicated to them). Interviewing on popular shows with popular chat shows. She had The Tig, over 2M followers. She was a UN advocate promoting international charities, speaking to Heads of States and other delegates. All this before meeting Harry.

So no, not the same.

Not the same as the other soapy actresses you mentioned either, while we're here. They have careers on popular national tv.

Talking about racism press bullying and mh, is 'whining and protesting' according to MN.

It is if you're being ironic!

You missed the one where she gave someone a blow job in the front of a car. Standards MUCH??

It was reported in the media that Meghan made fun of Charlotte's weight , a toddler no wonder Kate did cry. If it's true no wonder she doesn't want to be besties , I wouldn't if an adult criticised my child's looks.

Again it is more tabloid lies. I bet you believed it too.

The stills I saw of Meghan without makeup were of a very very attractive woman.

@IAmWomanHearMeRoar1

I will ask again (although I don't think you'll respond because you do not have a good answer) how do you know that Meghan is telling the gospel truth and her version is the right one?

This is the image I meant

As said, beauty is subjective, IMO she is very plain
