Her hair is giving me Melania vibes. The weird hair part.

the purple dress moves beautifully when she walks. Meghan looked like she was really concentrating on not tripping down those stairs, royals really are just like us especially since her hair kept getting in her vision i will admit i hated how much she kept pushing her hair back out of her face.

Letizia is mad because she realized all the other Queens wore princess gowns and she wore her great aunts throw pillows.

I understand the issue with comparing Meghan to Wallis, but there are definitely some comparisons between the two couples. A child of the King wants to marry an American divorced actress. The actress doesn’t fit the typical mold and shakes things up (for better or worse bc #thisplace). Family seems to have an issue with the fiancé and treats her poorly. Media has a frenzy. Couple potentially begins distancing themselves from the rest of the family.
Obviously the pro-Nazi element is extremely important and Meghan is underserving of the treatment she’s received, but I do think it’s a fascinating “repeat” of history. It’s the first thing I thought when I heard H and M are looking to potentially go abroad. I cannot imagine the royal family stress it puts on their relationship. In 30 years, I guarantee some historian is going to write a huge compare/contrast of the couples if H and M distance themselves more.

I learned absolutely zero things about the BRF in school. Actually maybe I learned some of their names at some point. Sub par, indeed. We learned about that one dick who raised taxes so we had to dump all his tea in the bay and start a war. Harbor not bay. You clearly went to a sub par school.

In 30 years, I guarantee some historian is going to write a huge compare/contrast of the couples if H and M distance themselves more. It’s completely different. Harry is not next in line for the throne. Also at the time the church’s rules said he couldn’t marry a divorced woman and he was about to become head of the church. Now, marrying and divorced woman is fine (even for Charles, the next in line for the throne). I get why people want to compare the circumstances, but they really don’t compare. The only thing they have in common is American and divorced. Charles marrying Camila is a more comparable event, but again, the rules are different now.

Meghan’s purple dress in video looks great. The still photo looked like there was a bunch of extra fabric at the bust.

I don’t know why, but I kind of like the Letizia dress. I could never wear it, but I think she’s pulling it off.

If Charles would have had to give up the throne to marry Camilla, who would have become next in line after the Queen passes? Would it have still gone to Wills, given that he is the heir, would would it have gone to Andrew & knocked Charles's line out all together?

Would it have still gone to Wills, given that he is the heir, would would it have gone to Andrew & knocked Charles's line out all together? Wills would have been 14 or so when he and Diana got divorced, so I don’t think so. Anne? ETA: since he didn’t marry Camilla until 2005, then yeah I think Wills?

Will would have become king, but until he was an adult there is some kind of supervisor role that Andrew would have had. I can’t remember what it’s called, but it basically goes to the next adult in the line of succession.

Once William was born, he was in line after Charles. Had he been too young to rule, he would have been King with a regent appointed. Andrew would have likely been regent as he is one of the councilors (I think that’s what they’re called) and ahead of Anne in the line of succession.

That was my assumption as to why her and not someone higher up the chain. I mean theoretically it could be a compliment to Mitch. And always the fact that last I heard she isn’t wrapped up in testifying at the impeachment hearings like so many other Cabinet members are. 😂 But I stand by my original assumption. I saw Mitch on tv, in Washington, making some statement to say he didn’t call Trump’s phone call perfect. I still think the US should have sent someone more important than Elaine Chao but since they sent her I’m glad Mitch didn’t get to tag along to an enthronement and instead stay home and deal with the BS he’s enabled here.
