Prince Harry’s engagement

Well look at a successful president like Putin. Have you seen those rooms he walks through? Makes Buck House look like a hovel! I'm sure the Russian people love keeping him in luxury

Just watched the filmed interview with the happy couple. Lovely to see how happy they are together and looking forward to their life in partnership. They seem to be firm friends, with a very similar outlook on what they want to achieve together in life. Yep, definitely a good news story in these gloomy times.

FGS how can people disagreeing with you spoil a happy thread - bit of snowflakery going on methinks.

Like Venezuela Paddyann

They appear to be a lovely young couple and very much in love. I hope that they spend a happy time together - good luck to them- such a pity that Diana is not around- she would have loved the preparation for this happy day.

Why do a few misery guts spoil a happy thread?

eazybee not a sourpuss,in fact I'm a very happy contented wife,mother and grandmother...I just dont believe in the "devine" right of monarchy..its a mediaeval concept in the 21st century .We should follow other countries who got rid and have a president...THATS someone we VOTE for and vote out when we dont think they're doing the job they're paid to do.I think we're better than royal worship but sadly many especially south of the border are still locked into the peasant mindset...subjects not citizens .The monarchy should end when Lizzie dies ,we really dont need another 3 generations of these pampered,over privileged parasites.As far as I'm aware I'm ALLOWED an opinion ...just as you and your fellow cap doffing ,curtsying friends are

Will she have to take the Citizenship test and if she passes take the oath and make a pledge to be a faithful subject?

I hope she’s applied for a visa

Nor me polly. And to keep returning to tell everyone how uninterested they are is just

I dont understand why people who aren't interested are reading this post anyway. I don't read posts I have no interest in.

I wish them well and hope they can be happy together.

I think that whatever your views are about the RF, it's just churlish and mean spirited not to wish this young couple well. A lot of people are extremely wealthy through inherited wealth but surely that's no reason to be unpleasant about them?

Well I think it's rather nice to have some pleasant news for a change, and I do hope they will both be very happy together.

Some people will be benefitting from the wedding frenzy though. Our tourist industry won't exactly lose out especially as Meghan is American and the Canadians love her as well. Then there's the fashion industry, souvenirs, catering etc., etc.,

Personally I'm more excited about the imminent return of The Crown on Netflix.

If life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

Don't keep sucking them though, as it could turn you sour.

over to Ben Chapman!

Me too Chewbacca

I am very happy for them, I hope they have a long and contented marriage, I hope that all their dreams of making the world a better place through their humanitarian work come true.

although I did turn the tv off when I heard Mary Nightingale say 'over the Ben Whoever for the start of wedding frenzy'.

I don't want to join in the frenzy.

Lovely. Good Luck to them.

Just seen their interview and it's lear they are both smitten. She comes across as very confident which I'd expect from an American and an actress. I think they'll carve their own life and identity within the Royal family and by the time of the wedding he'll be down to 6th in line to the throne. I predict they'll become more of the 'People's royals' than W and K who I still perceive of as rather lazy.

Well why all the negative comments aimed at me then wills.

Yawn yawn yawn

Another here who's happy to wish the couple a long and happy future together. Doubly so if it irritates the gloom merchants on here.

Maryliza I have no feelings either way about the RF, I personally think people who fill their homes with RF / Diana memorabilia, and camp outside Crathie and Sandringham churchs are sad souls but if it lightens their lives. so be it. I don't do anything vicariously ..I live happily in the real world.

wills if you bothered to read tft you would see why I mentioned stamp duty and stop being so bloody patronising - I enjoy my life enormously and I fail to see how my views on this suck the joy out of anything- carry on enjoying life vicariously if you wish, my joy is first hand and real
