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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Perhaps the so called 'celebs' are personal friends Joy - everybody has to do something to earn a crust.

I do feel rather sorry for Meghan and all this flipping hooha with her family . Half Brother and Sister I think trying to get a bit of limelight,and all the issue as to whether her Dad would be there or nor. We now know he wont be here.
Weddings are stressful enough even if not a Royal Wedding . What Harry and Meghan need right now is just to be able to look forward to ' THEIR Day' on Saturday .
My Daughter has her wedding in December and it will be as special as Harry and Meghans but without all this 'angst ' (re family). Less stress being a commoner :-D :-D

The Act has been relaxed over the ensuing centuries; now, David Cameron’s Perth Agreement, which was proposed in 2011, limits its ruling to the first six in line to the throne. Coming after Prince Charles, Prince William, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, Harry is fifth in line, meaning that he will still need to ask for permission from Granny if and when the situation arises. As yet, the Queen has never formally denied a request.

Harry still needed the queens permission to marry,

Re_ Mr Markel---hes had a stent put in according to US reports ,so will speedly recover.

MM cousin is to attened the wedding as her son is a page boy. so its reported.

but then who cares......!

Kay???? Report 17 May 2018 18:58

Yes but 6th in -line still needs the permission of the queen.or who is in the seat at that time.

"its its ruling to the first six in line to the throne."
