Prince Harry’s engagement

I don't think it's true to say Harry has a love of hunting as it was banned in 2004 so not something he can participate in.

Ooops..

easzybee [ tchgrin] could be more than one more, two or even three!

Good posts nigglynellie

Nobody can help their situation, you are born where you are born.
I wish them well too, even though I am a Rebublican at heart.

I wish them happiness.

I hope they live in KP, we do not need yet another royal residence to pay 24 hour a day protection for. But no doubt they will need a country residence to escape from the pressures of living in London , hope queenie has another house in sandringham to give away.

Sorry but I cannot agree that Harry does very much when it comes to royal duties, yes the Invictus Games which he thought up but he has staff doing the work. His trips to Africa show a few visits for charity , this does not cover the many weeks he spends there and he does have a love of hunting.

And so wrong to hear her called Princess Megan,on the news this morning, she will never have that title, Kate doesn't , Diana didn't . The nearest she will get to it will be Princess Henry , expect he will be become a duke she can then be a duchess.

They have both had relationships in the past and will not be going into the marriage with blinkers on. Yes, he did do some stupid things when he was younger but how many of us haven't, except those mistakes were not made in the full glare of publicity. I wish them a long and happy marriage - why would anyone assume (hope?) they will be get divorced!!!

They're just a normal young couple you know.

I mean will they even get a mortgage with him being out of work and all?

Or will great granny cash in some of her dirty dealings and give 'em a leg up?

All this and more will be revealed in the next thrilling episode of...

When 'Arry met Meg... (the engagement).

Oh blimey what a miserable post waiting for their divorce when the poor buggers are t even married
I have no great love for,or animosity against the Royals there are just there but having said that they seem a nice young couple with good hearts doing humanitarian work He can’t help his birth She's a very beautiful woman and I hope they have lots of love, lots of fun and some nice little kids
It will not take my mind of the awful mess the countries in at all but why can’t young people get married no matter what’s going on in the bigger stage my mum and dad got married in the middle of WW2

Two down, one to go. The sourpusses, that is.
So predictable.

Why would you celebrate someone's divorce?

Especially if there are children involved as there could well be.

Markle could be Scottish
There is also a village called Much Marcle in Herefordshire

Who cares? I'll save my celebratons for the divorce announcement I'll give it 10 years (any advance?)

Markle, eh? Is she by any chance a distant cousin of the Merkels? If so, it could be useful in Brexit negotiations provided Angela can hang on for a bit longer as Chancellor; the Hanover/Saxe-Coburg Gotha/Battenberg connection isn't worth much these days.

Congratulations to N&G too
It looks like red wine but is in fact champagne N&G

Congratulations and good luck to them both.

gillybob if they decided to have a pied-a-terre in London they could take advantage of up to £500,00 nil stamp duty .

Love them, loathe them or take a pragmatic approach about them - the publicity all the royals bring to the charities they support results in increased funds for those charities - far in excess of anything that a non-political presidential family would attract.

RSVP - sorry I have another appointment on the day of the party

If you are born into something, of course you fell into it. My point is we shouldn’t have that sort of inherited rank and privilege in the 21st century ( or any century for that matter). He could try working a bit harder for one thing - he’s 33 ffs not a young man

Any member of the royal family can quit if they want to

Well gilly re stamp duty - did you hear You and Yours today? Builders who have given buyers a deal to pay their stamp duty are going to be thousands in profit as they are not going have to pay it now and are refusing to pass it on the buyers. Well jolly good that M&H won’t have to worry about anything so boring as that. Bread and circuses, bread and circuses. I love the way on here that people think they ‘know’ members of the royal family as if there isn’t a huge PR machine regularly churning out mind numbing propaganda about them

I will certainly not be doffing my cap to him (or her) and share the concern about some of his actions. But who amongst us did not do things we now regret when young? - but we had the privilege of being able to keep these secret and not being in the public eye.

He appears to have risen above these juvenile actions and the cultural determinants (e.g. hunting rituals) that surround his life; and to use his status to further humanitarian causes. Let us give him credit for that.

As others have said, it was not his choice to be born into royalty.

MaryelisaPrince Harry's unearned status is a circumstance of his birth not something he just fell into, the same thing could equally have happened to you.Bah Humbug
I totally agree with Maebroon & NG
Sorry niggley nearly duplicated your post.

Heavens, paddyann, that was all donkeys years ago! Have you never done anything in your youth that you now feel ashamed of?! What about the invictus games, charity work in Africa and numerous other events bringing sunshine into peoples lives, or is this young man, together with ALL rich kids, beyond redemption? What a bitter person you sound. I feel sorry to you.

what "integrity " is that? Wearing a Nazi uniform to a party,having sex parties in hotels ,being photographed with his "kill" when hunting, and multiple other things that hit the headlines...but thats OK ...he's a PRINCE!!!! I truly dont understand why .. .so many are still cap doffing,fawning peasants where the royalty are concerned .Honestly I think you're all nuts!Its the 21st cnetury for goodness sake....lete get rid and be a republic

I too with them well, and as for the sour comments on here and elsewhere, how on earth can Prince Harry help the situation he was born into? none of us as far as I'm aware have a say in the matter of our birth! what's he supposed to do, join a monastery and do endless penance for having been born into a privileged family? As far as I can see, a lot of the younger royals quietly get on with trying to do some good in this world and don't deserve to be sneered at.

Congratulations N&G!

Well said MawBroon & N&G. Let's wish them well in their future together. Good to have something pleasant to think about.

Fabulous I wish them every happiness and as I am celebrating my 41st wedding anniversary today I shall lift a glass to them !
