Hope this is not “fake news” but relief from the endless speculation.
Good luck to them! ??

Presumably he will be made the Duke of Wherever when he gets married.
Which Dukedoms are vacant?

Clarence, Hereford, Sussex?

Jalima1108 Tue 28-Nov-17 19:07:42

They are divorced now
hmm

Merlotgran, Diana was not a penniless nusery maid, I doubt Megan made enough money to keep Harry in the life he knows , he is far wealthier than she. Doubt any Windsor brides marry for money, but they do for the status .

Anniebach Tue 28-Nov-17 19:23:41

Will Clarence be chosen, think it has been avoided since Victoria's son acquired a reputation and not a good one. Wonder what will be chosen, Edward is set to be Duke of Edinburgh when his father dies , can't really see them choosing Hereford , Sussex ? Not right really. They will have to find something or Megan will be princess Henry of Wales, no comment

maryeliza54 Tue 28-Nov-17 19:29:25

Sussex?

Jalima1108 Tue 28-Nov-17 19:30:48

I think he's Henry Wales, not Prince of Wales

Duke of Sussex sounds just fine
There is also a ready-made song to go with it grin
Although I think Hereford has a ring to it myself.

merlotgran Tue 28-Nov-17 19:31:34

Why would Meghan need to keep Harry? Honestly, Annie you'd argue the hind legs off a donkey.

My point about her having earned her own money was simply to point out that she's an independent and successful young woman.

Anniebach Tue 28-Nov-17 19:38:58

Would I merlotgran, makes at least two of us then. ?

He is Prince Henry of Wales Jalima, if William hadn't become a duke Kate would have been Princess William of Wales, it why Windsor princes become dukes, Prince Michael of Kent remained the same so she is Princess Michael

Jalima1108 Tue 28-Nov-17 19:51:39

Oh
confusing!

aka Princess Pushy I believe

Well said Saggi! I didn’t get started on the Church, but
I’m with you on that too!

nigglynellie Tue 28-Nov-17 20:11:10

Waity, Katie, clothes horse! Maryeliz, Oh dear, what a cheap horrible comment! Reduced to making unpleasant personal comments about somebody you don't know, has never done you any harm and who has no means of retort, surely you can do better than that?!

maryeliza54 Tue 28-Nov-17 20:17:07

I know she never had a proper job despite her very expensive education. I know all the attention she gets from how she looks and the clothes she wears. I don’t need to know her to know those facts and in a society that allows for free speech I can say what I want about her and the very idea that it’s unfair because she can't retort hahahahahahsha. Perhaps you could explain the concept of a level playing field to me niggly

maryeliza54 Tue 28-Nov-17 20:18:17

And yes she has done collective harm along with that bunch of parasites with their inherited rank, status and privilege.

Nannylovesshopping Tue 28-Nov-17 20:22:04

maryelizeok, as this is a society that allows for free speech, you sure are coming across as a nasty piece of work

durhamjen Tue 28-Nov-17 20:25:38

Arlene Foster did well, didn't she, considering she is an ardent royalist!

Baggs Tue 28-Nov-17 20:41:37

Diana got called a clothes horse too.

Baggs Tue 28-Nov-17 20:42:46

meliza didn't invent the term "waity katie", NLS.

Iam64 Tue 28-Nov-17 20:45:26

I expect NLS knows that Baggs. It was often used by the Daily Hate- that well known newspaper that loves to put young women down at any opportunity.

Baggs Tue 28-Nov-17 20:46:08

BTW, I don't seem to have an opinion about the newly engaged couple. I don't wish them ill, nor do I wish them well any more than I wish every other engaged couple that I don't know well. I don't wish them anything. I think that means I'm indifferent. This is neither negative nor positive. It is neutral.

I think.

NanaandGrampy Tue 28-Nov-17 20:46:18

Great point Nannylovesshopping!!

Baggs Tue 28-Nov-17 20:47:30

I wouldn't know, iam. I just knew the terms existed.

suzied Tue 28-Nov-17 20:52:33

We can do without all the mugs and tea towels surely. Just let them get on with their lives without all the hysteria. We like her, we like him. end of.

nigglynellie Tue 28-Nov-17 20:53:18

Maybe not, but using personal insults to attack a young woman who has never done you any harm is particularly spiteful, whether she did or did not have a 'proper' job isn't anybody's business but hers. Her education is equally nothing to do with you Maryeliz or anyone else come to that. The RH are not parasites, and using that vile word makes you sound bitter and very unpleasant.
