Prince Harry’s engagement

trisher are you saying that divorce is genetic? Parents divorced so they must be destined to divorce? They are not starry eyed youngsters, they are experienced in relationships and will no doubt enter into the marriage with eyes open and aware of the problems that can occur in any marriage.

A young lost little boy aged 33 ?

not be fazed oops

It isn't spiteful. It's a comment and based on the family history and the fact it's her second marriage. In fact much more likely than some of you seem to believe. Forgive me for being cynical, but I remember being sold the same old story about Fergie and look where that finished up.

Juliette, Mawbroon and others happy to see a young lost little boy finally seem to have found a strong and loving partner to start the family he so craves join me in saying how delighted we are! His mother may not have had the happy ending she so wanted but I bet she is rejoicing - William's has done well, and Harry found a strong woman who hopefully will it be fazed by the spotlight. Both seem to care for others less fortunate - and so far look madly in love, bring out the bunting, enough gloom and doom around, brings a ray of sunshine on a dismal winter's day!

There is no reason you can’t celebrate divorce if two people are very unhappy then the parting of the ways is preferential Trisher but you weren’t talking about divorce in general you said you’d be waiting to celebrate this couples divorce and the poor couple haven’t even married yet so yes that was spiteful

Quite pleased he has chosen someone non stereotypical who is of mixed race. Shake things up a bit Definitely not a boring choice Harry.

I really do hope they will have a long and happy marriage. The smiles and hand holding is no indication of their love

Merlotgran when I said hunting I was speaking of his long stays in Africa, I am fully aware of the fox hunting ban, campaigned for years. The glorious 12 is the shooting of birds bred to be shot , birds killed for sport is hunting for me.

Why should I be bothered about them announcing their love to the world?

But if you are not interested why post?
And eagerly anticipate their divorce and asking for any advance on 10 years?

If I am not interested in a topic I generally don't join a thread.

Jalima1108 I don't know this couple, I don't suppose you do. Why should I be bothered about them announcing their love to the world? I do know his family have a doubtful record of weddings that cost a fortune and marriages that didn't last. Apparently the rest of you like to forget those and persist in fairy tale endings.

I think it is the anticipation of unhappiness and misery at a time when a young couple are celebrating and announcing their love to the world that seems strange trisher

Perhaps you have had unhappy experiences which colour your views, but that is no reason to suppose that this young couple will too.
Everyone has their ups and downs, of course, but Harry's grandparents have just celebrated 70 years of marriage.

As someone who was hugely relieved to divorce almost 37 years ago after 11 years of largely miserable marriage, I'd never describe myself as "happy" or finding it something to celebrate. Huge relief and growing enjoyment in the opportunity to live independently and develop a better way of life, definitely.
I didn't feel either happy or that I'd something to celebrate. I was too busy reflecting on what on earth led me to get involved with him in the first place. Youth and inexperience were significant, as was the fact I 'd be upsetting my parents and being the first person in my family to divorce.

I wish them the best of luck and much happinesses ?

I seem to remember many comments like this over other Royal weddings- Fergie and Di for instance. Triumph of hope over experience I suppose.
Why shouldn't I celebrate a divorce? 2 people who have been unhappy together have a chance to be happy again, surely something to celebrate?

They appear to be a lovely and loving couple. I wish them well and it is good to have some news we can celebrate.

Rumours are that they have been looking at Luckington (Gloucestershire)

House prices have just shot up there gillybob , none under £300,000 any more.

Oops - should I post this - they'll be going up another £1,00,000

I'm oddly fond of Harry. I'm always relieved that the daft antics of some of the young men (and women) in our family / friendship group weren't plastered all over the tabloids. I'm relieved I wasn't born into the Royal Family and have been able to make mistakes, get divorced, get re-married etc etc without having the tabloids crawling over me and anyone who ever met me.
I wish them well. They do look happy and they are hopefully old and experienced enough to have some idea of what they're getting themselves into.

Its great that she is bringing diversity to the royal family, given that there's lots of mixed race people in our 21st century population.

annie Hunting does not refer to all blood sports. It used to mean fox or stag hunting before the ban.

The glorious 12th is grouse shooting not hunting.

Anyone want to guess which newspaper will be the first to find old publicity photos of her wearing very little clothing?

I never expected to say this, but the Leader of the Labour Party made a very sensible statement live to camera wishing the couple well.

I wish them well

Not in all of Africa it isn't banned , and we still have stag hunting and the glorious 12th in this country . Was it not Harry who shot that bird just a few years ago in , I think Sandringham estate? Police were called and it was quickly silenced , the bird was shot but no one was prosecuted .

I could change my views if I was Duchess Lemongrove
