Have the newspapers got this right?

I read that Elton John, the Spice Girls, the Beckhams and other 'celebs' have received invitations but, from MM's relatives only her Mum - not even the retired diplomat uncle who got Meghan her first job nor anyone else from 'her side'.

They have also written that, while some of the older members of the royal family have received invitations, some of their children have not been invited and not everyone is happy.

If this is right, it seems that this is going to be rather more of a celeb wedding than a family celebration. Surely the newspapers have got it wrong? It seems mighty strange to me .... but it's not my wedding and all I am really interested in seeing are the outfits! I shall watch on Saturday.

Thank you Sue for that information.
At this time you would think it more
fitting to up the numbers.

Permission is only needed for the 1st 6 inline to the throne.

It does make me smile that the Queen has to give her permission
for any member of her family to marry.
Pity Harry didn't feel it necessary to ask Meghan's father
or even meet him.

well, they apparently gave her mother the Royal welcome, including an orderly to collect her bags from the plane, see them through security and carry them to the car

Totally agree, Sharron

What about the mob Meghan is marrying into?

What about the mob Meghan is marrying into?

You think Harry has problems. You should see the mob I married in to!

Some of the tabloids try to entertain their readers with balderdash & piffle - but no meaningful substance.

Only three days now everything will be there for folk to see & read truths & untruths.Told by our wonderful press & media . :-\

Shambolic

if megan is so close to her dad why hasnt she flown out to see him in hospital,and take harry too,they have plenty of time before the wedding.

The wealthy do all they can to insulate their children from failure or any other nastiness like rough sleepers & their sleeping bags.

Of course she would, but at least some careful planning and perhaps the bridegroom meeting the bride's father in advance would at least helped this event from turning into a charade, with the tabloids loving it very second of it! The police are apparently removing sleeping bags and other items from the streets of Windsor so as not to offend the crowds. They've promised to give them back though after the event so that's alright!! Wonder what the homeless will do meantime, or if anyone cares?!!

I think it's safe to say there will be a plan B, it's just that she'd rather have had plan A.

Sometimes the remedy to a problem is so simple that we fail to see it.

You would think that the advisers to Prince Harry would have done their homework when the engagement was announced and had plan B and probably C in place to pre empt any unforseen difficulties?!! Let's face it, with any wedding you need other plans to fall back on supposing a main player is ill, or can't make it for some reason! I imagine that's the problem of living in a goldfish bowl! clearly the advisors do too!!!

and now it seems that her father is in hospital having tests, and may need surgery tomorrow (Wednesday).

poor man ................ and poor Meghan.

It also seems that the ex sis-i-l and her 2 sons (+ the girl friend of one of them) will also be reporting on the wedding for ABC news

It seems as if the family is already trying to make money out of Meghan ............... the British show and ABC will be paying them big money.

I pity Harry .............. his life with Meghan is going to be fraught with her family's behaviour(s).


Mind you, this would never have happened in "the old days" when the British Press kept the privacy of the Royal family.

I agree with you, Sharron!
