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

I wish I understood the issue of remarriage of a divorced person in the Anglican Church. I have looked it all up and my understanding is that after the Genersl Synod of 2002, the church agreed that divorced people could be remarried in church if the priest agreed and there were exceptional circumstance. So no automatic right. Is this correct? If so, then I suppose the exceptional circumstances here are who the grooms dgm and df are?

She's applying for British citizenship. Does that make her an economic migrant?! Bet that will be rushed through.

Dear God, I think I'm going to stop posting on this thread. Some of the postings are beyond belief... Grandma70s - what's the first thing you notice about a bloke, or a girl in a crowded bar, a dance hall, at the water cooler? Their fine intellect? Umm , don't think so. It's physical attraction, then personality after the initial chat-up line, and then sheer lust ,which in the end usually settles down to a loving compatible relationship. Maybe poor Megan would be treated more sympathetically if she looked like the south end of a north-bound camel.

Unlike Kate, who until she became involved with William . Ms Markle, as an actress and filming scenes that involved nudity, being on camera was water off a ducks back.
On or off work. constantly being photographed is her life She is no Miss Timid, very confident .and no doubt unconcerned her image is now possibly in every newspaper across the globe. This is just the start.

You know that for a fact do you jimmyrfu? This bloody stupid word is yet another bit of meaningless media jargon that's crept into our language. Well my DOH had a failed marriage behind him when he met me ... he wasn't a 'keeper' for me for 53 years... so that blows your theory about divorcees out of the water. And as for pre-nups .... angry angry

My instinct is that Harry’s attraction to her, which I concede is genuine, is too looks-based. That’s not really a good basis for a lasting marriage.

She is to be baptised and confirmed before the wedding, will become a British citizen and the royal family will pay for the wedding, even for the flowers, so I read

I think she will - and I think she will be a great influence on Harry too; let's hope that together they will be a force for good in the world.

Once the media stop waffling on about all the other, well waffle for want of a better word.

I hope she keeps up this stance. Brilliant speech at the UN. I found this on the 50/50 website for 50% women MPs.
He could have done a lot worse if this is the way she still thinks.

She is not a keeper.
You don't know that jimmyrfu - I have friends who married briefly, disastrously, when they were young and then married for a second time. One lot are off celebrating their 45th wedding anniversary at the moment.

Who is to tell?

Princess Anne did married after her divorce and got round the C of E disapproval by taking herself and her intended off to Scotland (Balmoral) if I remember right, as the Kirk doesn't consider marriage a sacrament and isn't bothered how many times you do it, or if your previous spouse is still in the land of the living.

Lets hope he does a pre-nup. She was married before and I've no doubt that one was the ONE, and it was forever. Some of us may not see it fall apart but I've a feeling it will. She is not a keeper.

I don’t give a witches tit for any of them. They are an anachronism of which we should be rid.Throw in the church and I’d be one happy camper.Good riddance to all of them! Viva the republic!!
