Lol
Good for you..wow
Wager, Trump will still be President when they divorce.
Over/under 6 years and 8 months. Who’s taking the over?
I wouldn’t take that bet if you spotted me the $$.
Thank you for posting this.
I for one am VERY HAPPY for this couple.
A MAN and a WOMAN are getting married. They are doing it in a church and seeking blessing from God for their marriage.
While I know very little about their story,
I wish them the very best of luck and love.
To me, it is a fairy tale come true and yes I love Happy endings and beginnings. Even if they aren’t perfect.
May God’s wisdom guide them and may they follow God’s guidance faithfully. In Jesus’s name - amen.
Every station in my area is covering the wedding of these relatively nobodies, the British answer to the Kardashians. I don't recall the Kardashinas wedding getting this much publicity.
No kidding.
If they’re happy, great. Really.
Boy, if they divorce, it’ll be the biggest “I TOLD YOU SO!!” since...?
Saw something on CBSNBCABCWHATEVER this morning, they were making a HUGE deal of the fact that she’s biracial, and she was an “activist” for this, that, blah blah blah.
They just can’t let people be people and leave the racial sh*t alone.
G*ddamn psychopaths, that’s all the media are.
For the record “DU” (Dem underground, yes, they are still around) is creaming their pants over the whole thing, gushing about how a Blackish chick marrying a cadet from a puppet monarchy is the best thing EVER.
“I never thought someone who looked like me could be a Princess unless they married Eddie Murphy in Coming to America”
Some Black US Bishop went all “preacher” on the service too and the Brits were “shocked” and PU loved that as well.
And technically she can’t be called “Princess Meghan” only the Duchess of Sussex or “Princess HENRY” (like when they used to call wives Mrs. John Smith ect.)
Agreed.
Good thing the last POTUS brought everyone together, eh?
I agree that lefties and the mainstream media are really excited by the fact someone with black ancestry is marrying into the royal family, sign of progress, blah blah blah. But I didn't even know she was part black until the media brought it up. Much ado about nothing.
Supposedly she's an "American actress" too, but I'll be damned if I ever her act in any movie or TV role before she married Harry.
I'm definitely a small "r" republican and think the "royal family" and "House of Lords" should be abolished outright. It's a useless antiquated system and the only reason Harry is having a "royal wedding" and not some German person that's closer related to the historic British kings is because of their sexist and anti-Catholic laws on the books that make Prince Charles "next in line" thanks to him being male and not Catholic. As far as I'm concerned, Franz the Duke of Bavaria is the "rightful heir" to the meaningless British throne.
She was on “Suits” on USA, which I watched from the beginning. I had never heard of her before or seen her in anything else. She is dime a dozen pretty and not an especially talented actress and frankly I was sick of her character so bye bye. With her I could tell she was part Black, I’m more into the ones where you look and wonder like Troian Bellisario or Rashida Jones or Michael Jackson’s “daughter”.
Her dad was lighting director for “Married With Children” and he took her to the set a lot.
Oh they are mentioning she appeared on “Nick News” (you ever watch that shitte? Hosted by hardcore leftist Linda Ellerbee) as a kid cause she wrote a letter to Ivory soap over a “sexist” commercial. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Ivory Dish soap in the store.

I likely saw this when it aired but don’t really recall.
Re the puppet Monarchy, I get why people like it (I’m obsessed with the history of it myself) and why UK traditionalists want to keep it but it’s fundamentally silly to have a powerless monarch with no surname and their whole damn family along for the ride, I’d sooner have a monarch with some actual power if they were my type of person.
My idea for the UK is do “soft” Republicanism. You replace the usurpers from the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha with a non-partisan “Regent” to serve a 10 year term or so. This is functionally the same as a President but allows them to keep calling it a Kingdom.
William of Orange (I hear he was queer as a 3 pound bill) and Mary II were certainly usurpers under the traditional system of male-preference primogeniture, though Mary II was James II’s eldest child and would have been the heir minus “sexism” and William III actually would have been Charles II’s heir as his late mother was James II’s ELDER sister. The last chick to get screwed out of the the throne on account of being a chick was, if I am correct, Elizabeth Stuart, the daughter of James I, and of course her line eventually took over, Sophia of Hanover (mother of George I) was her daughter, though she had a crap ton of kids older than Sophia so I’m guessing any serving legitimate issue with a better claim were Catholic.
Prince Charles is older is than his sister Princess Anne so that’s not happening next time.
The House of Lords are trying to F with brexit, May should
have campaigned on abolishing it, it would have been a good issue for the Tories. Still can be for next time. A UK freepr made a decent case for old actual House of Lords before Blair kicked the hereditary peers out, but this crop of what are basically a crapload of Labour and Wet Tory appointees has absolutely no legitimacy whatsoever, much like the Canadian Senate or the Apartheid era South African Senate which they just expanded when needed extra votes to amended the Constitution (the same thing almost happened to the Lords when they rejected the liberal budget in the early 1900s, the PM threatened to create hundreds of new life peers) .
Upper houses just seem like pain in the A in Westminster systems, the Australian Senate is elected (with a stupid system though) and thus legitimate but a pain in the A.
I find it VERY odd that some Americans are enamoured in the inbred British monarchy. We should be support those that want to finally rid the UK of the monarchy, not celebrating it!!!
As Billyboy said, maybe Disney Princess movie are to blame. It’s really just an extension of the cult of celebrity at this point.
Off with their heads and be done with it.
I think women love the pageantry... the fashion, the music [I LOVED that] ... the whole show.
But it has always seemed, among Americans of both sexes, that we are grateful that we do not have a monarchy. There is no movement afoot in this country for a monarchy.
You guys just love to b**ch about it. Men don’t watch fashion shows ... but we women love them!
Get over it.
I suppose the only way I'd become a monarchist would be if they wanted to restore the French monarchy (since all five of France's "Republics" have been jokes) or the Hawaiian monarchy (since we illegally deposed the last Queen, and the current "heir apparent", Quentin Kawananakoa, is a staunch Republican and would get rid of Hawaii's socialist policies if he had actual power to rule the country)
In theory you could restore the Iranian monarchy to replace their Islamofacist dictatorship, but since all of the "heir apparent's" children have lived in Maryland their whole lives and know nothing of their native country, I don't see how that's feasible.
As for the House of Lords, my preference would be to keep a bicameral system and switch to elected house over just abolishing it outright and having a unicameral house (makes it easier to stop bad bills if BOTH houses have to approve them, and the UK proposes all sorts of awful legislation in the 21st century). Realistically though, its probably not going to happen since every proposal to switch an elected system has been shot down by the Lords, who want to keep their cushy appointed political careers for life. The only way we were able to enact that reform in the United States was that the U.S. Senate had become so incredibly corrupt by 1911 that the Senators were basically forced to go along with it because the Senate had become a joke thanks to newspaper headlines about senate seats being awarded by bribes, and they wanted to salvage their reputations. You'd probably need a similar nationwide candal in the UK to get the Lords to cave and agree to an elected Senate. Of course, a bunch of useful idiots on "our side" want to go back to politicians appointing their sleazy family, friends, and top donors to the "upper house".
The deposed king of Bulgaria, who was deposed when he was nine, went back after the Cold War ended and served as Prime Minister.
Similarly, an aristocrat of the Schwarzenberg family went back to the Czech Republic after 40 years of living in Austria and became foreign minister and almost president.
Countries that don't want to have kings may sometimes take back their former rulers as politicians if the timing is right.
