@Spectre8 how would you feel if H and M did reconcile with the RF ? Would you be disappointed ? Annoyed ? Happy ?
Not trying to put you on the spot but you are so defensive of H and M and against the RF especially the Wales family .

Edited

I wouldn't be anything. If they wsnt ro reconcile thats between their family. Why would I be annoyed or upset? Its not personal to me.

Im not defensive od them. More pointing out the bias that exists.

Their wedding has been and gone many years ago. 🤷‍♀️

So has H&M but some people are still upset over it lol

Alt the public was definitely looking forward to the wedding, it certainly did not have to be on the scale it was. They filled that chapel up with people they didn’t even know. Call me old fashioned, but I really don’t think a divorced woman should be marching up the aisle in a whiter than white dress. She didn’t go for the traditional look first time around.

As another poster said Kate and William filled their church with a ton of dignitaries etc that they also don't know... what's the difference?

William and Catherine’s wedding was a State occasion so there were certain people who had to be invited however they still managed to include the Middletons’ butcher etc !
Harry could have had a smaller , more appropriate wedding but he wanted what William had.,

NormaMajors1992coat · 13/07/2025 22:30

You really can’t see the difference between a future head of state inviting other heads of state that they don’t know for reasons of protocol, and Meghan inviting a bunch of celebrities she didn’t know?

I wonder how the Sussex fans will try and spin a reconciliation (if there is one) and what will happen once William is king, that day is coming at some point, but hopefully not for a while yet.

I saw a couple of posts today from the Squad, without any context saying things like 'I stand with my girl Meghan to do whatever she needs to, for her family' etc. I felt like they were anticipating something and were making themselves ready to agree with whatever it was.

"Another poster" that you referenced was Bontonbonbon who said :

William and Catherine are gracious people who understood that their wedding was a national event because they are the future king and queen. Which is why they had to invite world leaders and dignitaries they didn’t really know. Because it was both a personal and national event with ties to government soft power.

and your take on that is

Godsake!

I just dont care enough to be bothered about someones wedding and who they invited not then ans certainly not many years later. Its their wedding, they invited who they wanted to.

Just like everyone does when they get married, its their wedding they decide who comes.

Even if they hadn’t met them before ? Is that not a bit weird ?

HonoriaBulstrode · 13/07/2025 22:41

i’ve had a think and I reckon this might be their way of paving the way for them to make trips back to the U.K. as a family without coping a lot of flak.

They are perfectly free to make trips back to the UK as a family any time they like without all this palaver. They can come for a private visit without anyone knowing anything about it - unless they inform the world in advance, as H did when he flew over after the King's diagnosis was revealed.

. Or those go on about how awful they did this hut if you ask them what if someone else did it well thats okay apparently.

As an example i posted that M&H had chosen to have a wedding at a significant cost to the british taxpayer, then MM stating that they were married 3 days before, they could have hqd a low key wedding. You asked should W &C have not had a simialr expensive wedding? Words to that effect.

Many other posters have stated that W&C had not made the same comments. Its those comments that make the difference , despite both couples having simlar grand weddings. H&M were spectacularly disrespectful to the british public who paid for the wedding that tjey wanted. Out of interest, are you a british taxpayer? Can you not see the difference in the differnet attitudes of these respective couples that makes the difference posters are explaining to you.

Well as a British taxpayers im not insulted by what they said. Maybe for them they felt they have got married day before, honestly so what. How much did their wedding cost me personally. Less than £1? Again its so long ago its dont give a shit about what their wedding cost. I dont give a shit if they said they got married the day before. There is so much more to be concerned about, like upcoming tax increases that is going to cost me more than what their wedding cost me all those years ago. You want to continue bearing thay drum, golding onto your dislike of what they did, carry on but not all British taxpayers give a fuck about the cost of their wedding.

Nagginthenag · 13/07/2025 23:13

Here you go Spectre - it was in the news at the time that William and Kate were a bit flummoxed by the official guest list as they didn't know many people on it, so the Queen told them to invite who they wanted to be there first, then the people who needed to be invited due to protocol etc could be added later. So William and Kate's wedding prioritised their family and friends.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2012/may/22/prince-william-wedding-guest-list

Prince William tore up wedding guest list on Queen's advice

William says he was handed a list with 777 names on it, not one of which he or the Duchess of Cambridge knew

I think there are insuperable obstacles to Harry being back in the fold.
The cruelty he allowed the SS to show Kate at her worst time.
The nasty things he wrote and said about Kate and Camilla
The murk surrounding his ventures of Sentebale, Invictus and Travelyst.
The drug use.
The rudeness about palace staff.
The complaints he made about the terrible constricting life of the royals.
His and Meghan's truly terrible behaviour around the final years and funeral of the Queen.
The fact that if Meghan gets within a mile of anyone royal she will start leaking and posting it on Instagram.

Tha actually not true. The Queen told them to invite who they liked.

Well why are you asking about it if you don’t care - I only answered the question because you asked it 🤷‍♀️

Obviously putting together a guest list for the wedding of constitutionally significant people like W+C is different from putting together the guest list for the wedding of constitutionally irrelevant people like H+M. The FCO would not be expecting world leaders to be invited to Harry’s wedding, because Harry has no political significance.

I looked forward to it and watched it. I'll call you old-fashioned, if you like. You're old-fashioned. Don't you know every old tart in the world wears a glistening white dress nowadays? Virginity's not the in thing any more. It's not like when grandma was married in 1910. I'll give Meghan her due. Her dress was modest. She had to march up the aisle in white because she was being Maria from the 'Sound of Music' that day.
I thought that there's a law that says divorced women should wear blue suits if they re-marry,

A perfect example of what Harry and Meghan attract as fans and I’d be mortified if I were them. But what is it that’s said about like attracting like?

I don't think you understand 'taking the mickey' out of attitudes or having fun with puns very well.
Was it Dame Edna who used to say "Call me old-fashioned, but..."?

There is no rage from me. But you carry on thinking that. Just be another comment of yours that isnt true. You decide to interpret that is rage but I'm telling you it isn't, just like it could interpret your comments as you hate Meghan yet you say you just criticising her.

RF PR in overdrive. There not getting enough attention so need to keep themselves in the press to justify the amount of money they are paid. It’s just embarrassing, like an episode of Dynasty. They know exactly what they’re doing.

Which planet are you currently on?

RF not getting enough attention? Have you not noticed the amazingly successful state visit br President Macron just last week? Did you not see or hear about the standing ovation for Catherine at Wimbledon over the weekend?

To mention just two news items.

I think you are living in an alternative universe.
