The British Royal Family

In one year PH will be back with Archie where he belongs..jmo

I thought he'd flown out today to be back with Archie and Meghan?

LOL Well, lest we forget, Kate’s ahem “dress” definitely got her “exposure,” money AND a prince LOL.

As the story goes, William reportedly paid $275 to score a front row seat at the Don't Walk show on March 27, 2002. Middleton was tapped to model the dress by designer Charlotte Todd. At she made her way down the catwalk in St. Andrews Bay Hotel, William turned to his friend Fergus Boyd and whispered, 'Wow, Fergus, Kate's hot!'"

The Dress Kate Middleton Wore That Wooed Prince William

A legitimate modeling gig is a far cry from the Men's Health video, imo. Kate wasn't biting on her lips and undressing seductively. Plus, let's not forget that Kate was 19-20 at the time, and Markle was 32-33.

I can’t be critical of Meghan doing that video it’s not as if it was explicit content that she did. And at the time she did it she probably never could have imagined she would be a Duchess one day.

Don't worry. I'll be critical for both of us j/k of course

Breaks my heart to read anybody would rather Harry return to London with Archie. He knows the pain of an absent Mother. SMDH

Yes! @Bravo. 1000 times YES. I can’t even comprehend where a comment like that comes from. It’s very dark. And makes me hurt.
JMO MOO

Meghan and Harry are giving up royal titles and state funding. Here's what that means - CNN

This was a good summary and answered one of my questions - Harry can wear the uniform of his service but not all UK military uniforms and I’m glad about this

Is he not allowed to visit with his son. Mm might not return but Archie should with his dad. Is the that taboo now for visits...SMH

 

[Lilibet]

We have no evidence that Meghan will not return to England. Full stop.

Moving right along...I’m sure it will be a happy reunion today/tonight...whenever Harry’s plane lands. I’m really looking forward to the next stage of their lives and wish them nothing but happiness as they do the projects and charities they plan. JMO MOO

No. The way your post reads is that in a year Harry and Archie will return. Like forever.
ETA-given that you called him Prince Harry

 

[Oregonmama]

No. The way your post reads is that in a year Harry and Archie will return. Like forever.

I'm allowed my opinion. This thread is for both sides. Jmo

I don't understand the posts saying MM should not have lived her entire life as she lived it. She was a model, an actress, a celebrity. Doing interviews and goofy videos is basically the job. It's 2020, not 1680. If you are above our crass pop culture than congratulations you can feel good about yourself. But it is what it is.

 

[momrids6]

All the car-seat rule enforcer type moms are taking her to task on how she has it fitted on her body.

It looks odd and uncomfortable- I thought that type was baby front facing once they were that big. ( my youngest is almost 21, and I didn't have anything like that- going by how the younger moms I work with wear their kids )

She looks like the cat that ate the canary. He looks like an accessory

 

[PinkPrincessPoop]

Who would want to be in a spoof of something like that. Not classy at all. Exposure and money was the outcome. JMO

It's something called fun. MOO, JMO, opinion opinion something opinion.

You don't need to wait a year, Harry will be with Archie and Meghan again very soon.

That was in college and she didnt get paid for it.

Nope, she didn't get paid. She did it because she liked it. And it's called fun. MOO, JMO, opinions opinions etc.

I agree. Harry seemed miserable when he was giving his speech and, to me, her smiling seems very disrespectful to him. But maybe Harry is a good actor too? IDK.

Speaking for myself, I didn't say said she shouldn't have lived her life as she did. I'm just judging her based on it. I guess I'm proudly above our crass pop culture. Imo, that video wasn't goofy. It was cheesecake one nip slip away from softcore. jmo

Oooooo if you really want to feel old, ran into this via a link posted up thread
The Best Paparazzi Moments from the '90s

There is at least one pic of Princess Di, so it’s on topic

ETA. My late 20s yr old daughter LOVES the American Eagle mom jean style. Lmao. Who ever thought those would need to make a comeback

I LOVE the fact that Diana wasn’t skinny and frail looking like most of the others. She looked healthy and strong.

[Bravo]

Diana certainly had her struggles but she overcame them. Such a tragic ending. She would have gone on to do so much good.

 

[Gardenista]

Anybody have an idea appx how much $$$ the newest MM photos are worth?

One would never refer to a Duchess as "Duchess FirstName" (source: lots of Regency-era romances). Dukes and Duchesses are "His/her grace", as in "Her Grace, the Duchess of [insert name of duchy]". Members of the nobility use the highest title they are entitled to use. It takes a long time to learn what title goes with whom, as well as what form of address; the queen probably took months being tutored in this discipline.

Thankfully, this topic has been discussed around the time of the RW.

Unthankfully, it's super complicated, and I'm sure hasn't gotten any better post-Megxit:

Meghan Markle's Full Royal Title - Why She Isn't 'Princess Meghan'

Using Your Grace, His Grace, is reserved for Dukes who are not of the Royal Family. His Grace the Duke of Bedford, the Duke of Westminster etc- there are numerous. Also the Archbishop of Canterbury.
