Harry & Megan drop HRH Titles

Ah no, sorry Calendargirl, can't see the resemblance for either of 'em!

Seem to be going off on a tangent with this thread so I will add another twist.
Watching Coronation Street last night, it occurred to me that Gary Windass is starting to look like Prince Harry! Perhaps I spend too much time on these royal threads!
Does anyone think Maria looks like Meghan?
?

Wow! Sent for it. I like the mountains of Wales. Will make a good watch.

I met one of the child extras. We were in opposite beds in the maternity ward of Kings Lynn hospital when I was having DD2.

She was about seven and the mountain scenes were filmed in Wales.

No idea, I remember her saying that because I was going through a period of deciding between the church and getting on with a normal ! life

Yes. That's what I'll do. ?

You can get it on Amazon, Lucy

Right. I think I'll get it then. (I'm spending money on this thread! )

Not sad at all. I did cry all the way through but then I was a soppy thirteen year old.

That's one of the reasons she turned him down then.

Not sure if I've seen that film or not merlot. Says on Amazon it as released 1958 so I would have been seventeen. Might get the dvd. Is it sad though?

*merlot, I only know she said it wasn’t true , ‘I never met the person I believe God had chosen for me ‘ ,

It wasn't as portrayed in the film Annie but she definitely had a close relationship with Linnan. They even discussed marriage.

Yes Pantglas she was touring Wales . I was disappointed to learn the romance in the film didn’t happen . She came to the
Chapel, I met her in the vestry after her talk.

She was driven out of China by the communists and not allowed to return.

Did you not see The Inn of the Sixth Happiness back in the sixties, lucy?

It was well received even though Ingrid Bergman was not a bit like GA and Colonel Linnan was played by Curt Jurgans with a German accent

As I know nothing about her, and I seem to be the only one I have just downloaded her book about herself, onto my kindle. Only £3.79. Should be interesting.

She was my childhood heroine as well. In my nine year old mind, having read all about her on the back of Girl magazine, I always thought she would have an educated middle class accent so got quite a shock when I discovered her on YouTube and realised she spoke with a working class North London accent.

I still have my battered copy of The Small Woman and must have read it a dozen times.

I remember Gwladys Aylward giving a talk at primary school in the mis 60s Anniebach! Wonder if she was touring Wales with a talk about missionary work?

No idea , I didn’t ask her, it was in the sixties.

I admire Catherine’s elegant style, but apart from that I don’t see anything special about either of the Duchesses. They are quite ordinary apart from the fact they’ve married princes. Nice enough, but ordinary. I don’t have much time for the kind of show business Meghan’s involved in, and Catherine’s degree isn’t as good as mine!

Logic says that people who (without any reason) accuse others of having something missing in their lives probably have something missing in their own lives!

Chestnut A completely logical position given that outwith that explanation, it’s hard to explain or understand the obsessive bile. Btw believing that these various threads are vile, does not make one a Meghan admirer or lover( or as posted earlier, mean that one has a crush on her).

And I’ve never given a fig about majorities - there’s nothing intrinsic about a majority position that makes it right.

I don't think she is "worth" about five million. She might own that amount of money, but "worth" is something else.

Just me being pedantic now

The only person I wish I was, and had been, like is my elder daughter.

I’d put money on it that there’s a direct relationship between depth of hatred and bitterness towards MM and the lack of success and contentment posters have had in their professional and personal lives.

I think I agree with that.
