View Full Version : Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Royal wedding 2018: date, details
It will be the most important day of their shared lives to date, imbued with centuries-old tradition as they take vows before God, their families and the Queen.
But not for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle a day of too much solemnity, as they promise a 2018 wedding focused on fun, joy and a chance to celebrate with the public.
The couple, who announced their engagement in November, are planning their own wedding celebration that “reflects the characters of the bride and groom”.
The wedding is on Saturday, May 19 at St George’s Chapel in the grounds of Windsor Castle, where Prince Harry was christened. It is said to have become a "very special place" for the couple in their relationship so far.

Yes, Saturday will be a big day...
The Wedding of the Century ... just that I wish them all the best of luck in life.
Thanks for posting this Vendor, I read the webpage and watched the videos which I thought were informative and well done.
Prior to this I knew next to nothing about either of them or the wedding.
I too wish them the best in life, they seem like a good couple and very comfortable with each other.
I am fed up with it already.
So, then, I take it you're not a Tory?...

Admittedly, I am not caught up at all in the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. I was however, always impressed with Prince Harry and his military service. Prince Harry had served with the British Army in Helmand, Afghanistan.
Quote: Prince Harry served for four months in Afghanistan, before his presence there became too widely known, according to CNN. He reportedly received the Operational Service Medal for his service in Afghanistan, before qualifying as an Apache helicopter pilot. Prince Harry was even promoted to the rank of captain, and eventually, he returned to Afghanistan in 2012 on a 20-week deployment.

Further, Prince Harry in 2015, left the military. Before he left, he started pursuing work to help injured servicemen and women find new jobs, a cause that he continues to advocate for in civilian life.
Quote : It appears that, while Prince Harry served with a regiment in the army and acted as a pilot during his military service period, he also gained valuable insight into the lives of wounded veterans during that time. For many reasons, Prince Harry's military experience seems important to him, and it clearly informs the service work he still carries out today.

It always seemed that Harry was more interested in people and their well being and welfare, much like his mother. For that reason and more, I wish Prince Harry and his new bride all the best now and in the coming years in all that they do.

Coverage starts tomorrow on ABC GMA with Micheal Strahan going over for the news team. I was against watching it, but I guess it's better than watching a golf match or a tractor pull on Saturday.
It really is a match made in heaven Cinderella story, poor girl, rich prince fall in love and marry.
I hope it last ... by the way when was the last time there was a change up in the Royal castle in England?
The present Qeen's story is all I know :yep:

She is an actress. By who's standards is she a poor girl?
Well, one thing for sure, she's not hurting financially:

What is Meghan Markle's net worth and how much did she earn on Suits? --

BTW, almost all lead or featured actors in TV series are guaranteed by union regulations payment for reruns or broadcast of a show's episodes, known as "residuals"; these can be extremely lucrative if an actor has the good luck to be on a hit show since those shows tend to live on long after cancellation in syndication or, now, streaming. The TV show Friends is sort of the high mark for residual earnings since it is still very popular in reruns, earning, as a show, about USD$1 Billion each year; the stars of the show are known to have negotiated a very advantageous residual agreement when they had the network and the producers over a barrel to renew their contract...

In a 20 minute summary on TV, it was quite entertaining. The Oscar for best show concept this year goes to "Windsor".
Where that sparkles of light spraying from her face when he lifted her veil? :) It seems they truly enjoyed what they were doing.
Nobody does these kind of events like the Brits.
And here comes the bill £30 million hot off the press on the radio. Clearly there is no news today apart from this dribble.
Wow this is a tough crowd .... lol. I did watch some, it was interesting and I wish them well. Nice day there, it could have been raining.
Coverage and repeat coverage is on many channels here in the US if people are looking for it. There are other things on and other things to do too. I haven't heard of anyone tied to a chair and made to watch.
In the UK, yes taxpayers got bit, however dollars/pounds from tourist & souvenir spending going into the UK economy will outweigh any taxes by a lot according to a breakdown I saw on FOX.
Most importantly though imo, Prince Harry served active duty in Afghanistan until he became a 'known' prime target, plus he has done a lot for and continues to do work for wounded vets; he is no slug.
Happy Hunting!

Royal wedding £32 million and rising, the cost of the royals rising, £82 million this year. Info hot off the radio.
Out of date institution time for them to call it a day. Over 65% of the population of the UK is not interested in the royals. Wast of money that would be better spent on the NHS and the police.

The figures I saw (on tv so I can't link) said that last year the Royals cost the people approx £465 M, but Royal merchandise and attributable tourism brought in over £550 M.
They sound like a profitable tourist attraction to me.

If I made the rules in Britain, I'd have several Companies just marching around the countryside in WW2 kit with Lee-Enfields & pipe bands just for the tourists. Correction, make that WWI kit since it's the centennial and all. I think I'd make everybody that graduated boot camp do it for a whole month after graduation just to get them "feeling" British.

Harry's served longer and in combat versus his brother who only served in local SAR roles and one tour in the Falklands. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Don't really mind the monarchy since they've pretty much gone hands off on all their colonies dotted around the globe. Dislike the media storm that's been kicked up over it, but that's all news is these days, sensationalism with a couple grains of truth sprinkled in it.

I can not be bothered linking but I will say the radio host quoted from the Office of National Statistics and other Government sources. This is my final word on this one from me as the figures he put out contradict everyday media statements.

A drop on a hot stone. Forget it.As long as we do not question at principle fundament the right of states to raise taxes (and beleive me, i question it), running this institutional show gives you a lot back, and more than you have to invest into it. Not only does it form identity in your by now quite diverse society, more important, it earns you sympathy from other countries and peopel as well. And that is something you will need bitterly after completed Brexit, because it may lure business contacts towards your shores again.
From the perspective of commercial advertisement, 82 million per year for THIS advertising campaign, to me sounds like a steal, almost. Compare that to the many wastes of money for summits and galas, sports events abused for propaganda by politicians and business, government distributing careers and pensions and privileges as gifts to politicians, and so forth.
Your theatre monarchy serves a much better job of producing shared indentity among your people and making you friends from ashore, than our Federal president (you know his name?), embattled Macronman in Super Franconia, or the Donald in the Polarized States of America. Seen this way, you Brits have it lucky.
And just btw, the big events like this one are real breathtakers. Nobody does this kind fo stuff like you Brits, nobody. Every couple of years, I love to watch it. I wonder whether I am still around when the next big marriage takes place.

I think France could do the same thing with the Foreign Legion if they threw some money into doing so. I think maybe the USA could alter the USMC a bit to fill the roll of incorporating foreigners into the US in a more cohesive manner, and giving them a shared national identity. It's not like we'll probably need to do much island hopping for awhile. It's also not like they'd need more money to do it, just re-distribute some of that (more then the next eight nations combined) yearly ob$cene expenditure. :hmmm:

Did you see that electric XKE Jaguar replica, provided by his father Charles, that Prince Harry drove off in?
https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AAxwzBs.img?h=632&w=1123&m=6&q=60&o=f&l=f
This Jaguar left as much of the original 1968 Series 1.5 E-Type in tact as possible while replacing the original inline-six engine with an electric motor and battery pack. Enough power is sent to the rear wheels to push this feline from 0-62 in just 5.5 seconds. That means it's quicker now than it was when new and chugging on gasoline.
Plus did you know that Meghan's father won the lottery way back a long time ago, $750,000 to be exact and that he used that money to send his daughter Meghan to the best schools ... what a nice investment that was, uh?
$750,000 is a serious sum, and I understand that he wanted to support his daughter, nicely done,which parent had not done it!

E-Type Zero (2017)Jaguar unveiled a modern revival of the 1968 E-Type series 1.5 roadster with an all-electric, zero-emission powertrain in September 2017. The vehicle has a 40 kWH battery-powered electric motor> https://amp.businessinsider.com/images/59b14f89609c3020008b4a41-750-440.jpg and can accelerate to 60 mph (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0_to_60_mph) in 5.5 seconds.[30] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaguar_E-Type#cite_note-30) On a full charge, the vehicle has a range of 168 miles (270km). Having occasionally driven the original back in 1970-73 I would miss the throaty roar of the straight six engine...
