Anyone up? Harry & Meghan Royal Wedding Watch thread

Which ones are still available? I think my choices are getting slim.
Not near as slim as you might think. I'd take a pass on the Arabs due to insurmountable culture clash, but that guy who's the Prince of Greece and Denmark has potential. princess:

ETA - no clue where on God's good earth the Bafokeng Nation is, but that guy is HOT - I'd be willing to google it!

All I want is for Queen Elizabeth to tell Camilla that she's not allowed to wear a larger hat than the Queen wears. That hat was ridiculous and the size seemed a little passive aggressive.
 
Looks like a trillium to me.

My mother would have loved that veil. And seeing a list of all the flowers. But not sure she would have known bunchberry. :laughing:
I'd like to "like" your post, because, well, I like you, but I genuinely hated that veil. And the flower thing really ticked me off.
 
And I was speaking for the other side of your thoughts.

Well, I should have said, "some people," in my post instead of just "people." Not to imply that everyone who thinks negative things against Meghan or any woman is being derogatory about us all.

Edited: I did go back and clean up my sentences, without hopefully changing too much of what I wrote. I also like to use metaphors. But I hadn't been clear I was doing that when I suddenly brought up Amal Clooney, or Barbra Streisand, who wasn't even at the wedding. :p

Come on now, you must know that a woman's real ambition isn't to have a successful career or to be involved in something they are passionate about. It's a decades long plan to catch a prince even though the odds are millions to one against it.

You know that when she protested the content of a tv commercial as a child to get it changed it wasn't because she didn't like the way women were portrayed, it was because she was laying out her plan to snag 8 year old Harry.

I thought she looked lovely. Nothing wrong with the size of her hat. Several people wore hats larger than the Queen's hat. Were they also making a passive aggressive gesture against the Queen?

:rotfl:



My mother must be around. I don't really like gardening/flowers, but loved the sentiment by Meghan, and here I am googling "Is a bunchberry a trillium?" At eleven o'clock at night. :rotfl2: She would be so proud. :laughing:

:rolleyes1 I'd call Amal Clooney's aggressive aggressive, nothing passive about it. Not sure it had anything to do with the Queen though.
 
I am so not an Oprah fan that I didn't even register seeing her. :crazy2:

How could you have missed the HAT even if you didn't see Oprah? :lmao:

I remember thinking that the poor person sitting behind her will miss the whole ceremony as they can't see around the hat. :crazy2:

I personally don't think there is any need to clear anything up with your writing, Imzadi. It was completely clear.

Women are often held to a different standard. What one can see as a fault in a successful woman - any woman - is often seen completely different when shown by a man. I actually agreed with the sentiment of your post in that manner, and understood the talk of Amal and Ms. Streisand to back up your point.

Many times women don't support other women. So true.

I only felt that some comments about Meghan directly are being unfairly misconstrued, with the intent behind them. Because they are about Meghan and not women in general. And like I've already said for me I could have an unexplained feeling about a man's personality as well. (And honestly I have read a lot of posts over the years, and I've never felt that vibe from NotUrsula.)

______________________________________________

As for Harry being off the hook in this thread - obviously Harry has faults, like any of us. And I don't think he is naive, I think he is in love. But there's absolutely nothing to say because I don't have this weird visceral feeling about him.

Well you would have a better idea of where he lives if they hire a new editor. South Africa. And he is handsome Annette.

I am all for Dubai, on looks.

I feel very old seeing Prince Edward's daughter! Time flies. And my Lord, King Hussein's son is the spitting image of him.

It's a different Prince Edward; one that was the son of Queen Elizabeth's uncle George and is 83 years old. If anything, that girl seems way, way too young to be his daughter. It actually may be some kind of mistake too because when you google him, those young women are not listed as his children.

"Our" Prince Edward is the Duke of Wessex, and his children (one boy and one girl) are not that old yet. They use the surname Mountbatten-Windsor.

:rotfl2: Definitely time to go to bed.

I was like "when did THAT happen?".

I was about to post this. And, yes, it appears that the two girls in the article are the grand-daughters of the Duke of Kent, not the daughters.
 
People never describe men being ambitious, organized, strategic, climbing up the ladder at work or socially, being successful at reaching certain goals, with such negativity as when WOMEN are described as such. And it's friggin 2018, and people are still throwing shade at women for doing the same things. Like there's something wrong for being ambitious, strong, goal oriented, organized, into many things, successfully progressing in career and life, doing causes because one actually believes in them. :rolleyes:

Do you know what the ODDS are of Meghan Markle to be the one to land Prince Harry? She had even already gotten married once before. Oops! She must have gotten sidetracked from her goal. :rolleyes: She wasn't even living in England when she met him. I don't think working in a Commonwealth across the pond counts for much, if he was her goal.

Did Amal Clooney become a very good human rights lawyer, at a prestigious British law firm because she had George Clooney in her sights all this time? That all the cases she worked on and helped win were simply so that, one day, she'd KNOW someone who would finally be able to introduce her to George? Do you know what the ODDS are of landing George Clooney? :confused3


I remember when Barbra Streisand started directing. She was blasted for choosing Yentl, as it was Jewish, and she did a movie that was about her and her life and what she knows. :rolleyes: Yet, every Literary 101 or Creative Writing course says "write about what you know." But, it doesn't count for her.

Yet, when Steven Spielberg did Shindler's List, he admitted it's very much because he is Jewish that he did the movie. When he later, ambitiously created the Shoah Foundation to preserve the taped interviews of the existing Holocaust survivor's stories he was making while researching for Shindler's, no one accused him of doing it for personal, political gain. Or that he was just creating a very important human rights foundation to seem important, or that he was just being a social climber.

When Streisand took time getting cinematographic shots from a certain angles, she was being a neurotic perfectionist.

When Spielberg does it, he's an artistic cinematographic genius.

When Streisand put herself in The Prince of Tides, she was again blasted for staring in her own movie. She was criticized for being too ugly to have played the role. She was also criticized for making a "chick flick" that primarily women would like, like that's a bad thing.

When Spielberg does his genre movies, again, he's a genius.

When Streisand went over budget for, The Mirror Has Two Faces, because she had to do massive re-shoots after firing Dudley Moore because he an illness and replacing him with George Segal, she's thought of as unskilled or inexperienced or neurotic.

Yet, when most male directors go over budget, or take weeks longer on a film than scheduled, it's due to getting their artistic vision right.

All that was over a couple decades ago. Wow, it's unreal to see how people still think so little of women and what we can and ARE doing that have nothing to do with men being the end goal. :sad2:

I have been thinking about the double standard, and honestly it is hard to find a “current” male equivalent. Mike Tindall married Zara, he was very successful in his own right, they were together 6 years before they got engaged. Zara is 17th in line to the throne and does not have a royal rank. And he almost downright despises the whole Royal thing.
The fiancée of Eugene-well she is 9th to the throne, he will receive no title. And they have been together for 7 years and they have kept out of the spotlight.
So it’s hard to say, would we be making the same comments if the situation was the same but the genders were reversed with H&M?

But you are right women can be catty from jealousy.
The rumour that Kate went to Uni just to snag Will apparently started with one of the society snobs that thought he should be marrying one of them instead.

Onto other rumours: the one doing the rounds is that her dress was ill fitting as she is already pregnant(I don’t believe it though)
