"Where shall we go for our holidays dear? I was thinking of France but they got rid of their monarch so it'll have to be England."

IIRC William the Conquerer obtained it sometime in 1066.

I care not a jot about the monarchy and, if people want to doff their caps to them, that is for them. People appear to want to do all sorts of stuff when celebrities are around so I don't believe the royal family have cornered the market there.

My mum used to work in a pub that they frequented when Cowes week was on. She said that they attention they were subjected to was far too oppressive for her.

I feel the same way about them taking money as I do about other recipients of welfare. I don't believe most on this forum will require me to say what that means.

Meanwhile, back at the wedding. The usual planning puzzles. Those nice Obamas might make good guests. Protocol says the Trumps would usually come but, Mr. Trump presents a problem due to his being a racist boor likely to goad the public to rioting at the doors. At least it's not a publicly funded event, so the couple do have some influence over the guest list.

Without a doubt the Obamas will be there and Trump won't.

The Kardashians (well, I don't know or care about them specifically, but they'll do as an exemplar of unaccountably wealthy people with a taste-bypass) probably pay considerably less tax than the royal family - they pay armies of accountants to find all the loopholes and tax dodges they can, whereas the royal household decided many years ago that they probably ought to be seen to be paying their fair share of taxes.

And when the civil list was cut in favour of the sovereign grant a few years ago, the number of people receiving grants was significantly cut. Aside from the Duke of Edinburgh (who has recently retired from public life anyway) who used to receive a grant from Parliament, no other "minor royal" gets anything more than their expenses covered for official duties. The Yorks and Wessexes, along with the Princess Royal, no longer receive Civil List incomes but receive annuities from the Queen's revenue through the Duchy of Lancaster

I quite like the idea of Her Maj and Philip settling down with a cup of tea and a garibaldi to watch Meghan in Suits. "Shall we watch Harry's young lady in her TV programme Darling?"

Re: Go for it Harry marry Meghan.
 

I remember when they were dating that they always looked so much more in tune with one another, and when you compare pics of Chelsy / Harry with pics of Meghan / Harry there does seem to be more affection with the former than the latter. Think the engagement pics were the first time I've seen any pics of M/H really looking at each other as most of the others show them side by side.

Re: Go for it Harry marry Meghan.
 

They dated for a good six / seven years. Pretty girl. Maybe you're not into blonds.:unsure:

Re: Go for it Harry marry Meghan.
 

Yes, I found that from looking up the name. All that time and it not meaning a thing shows how little attention I pay to these things.
Maybe it was something to do with with different headlines.

I see she met him at an exclusive school so perhaps I paid more attention if headlines said something about being an actress rather than just some other posh totty. :lol:

Re: Go for it Harry marry Meghan.
 

Maybe MM is head over heels in love with Harry...the way she looks at him and hangs onto him like a lovestruck teen. It I can’t get ‘once an actress, always an actress’ out of my head.

Re: Go for it Harry marry Meghan.
 

I think it's genuine. It must be a bit of a fairytale outcome for an American, becoming a 'princess' and living in castles and palaces. Give the girl a break!

Grace Kelly. Prince Ranier.

Looks like more from her past is beginning to come out.
