There were many sources for this months ago ....way before they were even engaged @mystery-ak   I don't know if those reports were wrong or scrubbed, but I can't find one source now either.

Either way, I never believed he was the love of her life.  For Harry this may be true, but not for her.  She convinced Harry a prenup wasn't necessary and he convinced the Queen, so I'm pretty sure she's thinking she's locked herself in for life.  (Can you believe it .... she's in without a prenup.  Think about that.)

I think she's played him--and the media--beautifully.   If Harry was one heartbeat closer to the throne, methinks the Queen would have stopped this.  Kate's third pregnancy may have made it possible for Meghan to become a Duchess.   ^-^

Reports are Harry really wants kids.  She's almost 37 so she's not got a lot of time to play the international feminist royal if she wants to start a family. I'll soften my opinion of her motivations if she gets pregnant during their first year of marriage.   

Should we start a pool?

Prenups are different in the UK. Harry would not really need one if he wasn’t royal but still wealthy. Because he is royal she can’t lay claim to anything. For example, her engagement ring was bought with royal money and used Diana’s diamonds (on the sides). Markle could never keep it because it’s basically on loan to her. Her home, clothes, jewels, cars, staff, etc. are on loan from QE.

Good idea.  My women's intuition tells me she's already preggers.

That could explain why her wedding gown fit her so loosely and looked like it was too big.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

The Queen had to approve of the marriage as a whole. Why she did, I have no clue.

Harry didn't need to marry this modern-day Wallis Simpson. The Queen didn't need to allow it. (This is not Prince Charles marrying a divorcee after his ex-wife died. That was forgivable. Marrying a Hollywood divorcee as a first choice? I would have thought that to be a disgrace to the Crown.)

If the wedding had to go through, I would have hoped that the Queen would bestow the millstone title of "Duke and Duchess of Windsor" upon the couple. Alas, she couldn't even do that. It appears now that the sanctity of monogamous marriage has now been abandoned even at the height of royalty.

But hey, it's the 21st century. Who cares about such quaint notions?

Quaint notions indeed.  Stupid idiocies best left in the dustbin of history, is more like it.

Meghan Markle's wedding dress gets criticized by Katy Perry    :silly:

.....“I would have done one more fitting,” Perry quipped of Markle’s stunning Givenchy gown. “I’m never not going to tell the truth! One more fitting, but I love you.”..........

Thanks @goodwithagun   I knew she couldn't lay claim to property and homes, but what about money?  Harry's worth about $40 million.

Watching the wedding wearing her wedding dress.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

LOL, I should have taken a photo of my wife. She got up at 3AM, put on a nice dress, hat, and heels, ate cake and drank Champaign.

From what I've read about British divorce it's basically you get to take back what you brought with you, if that makes any sense. If there would be a divorce, it's up to the queen to decide what Markle gets in terms of homes, staff, etc., since it belongs to the queen to begin with. For example, QE gave living quarters and a few other perks to Diana after the divorce from Charles. She didn't have to give anything to Diana, but the publicity would have been horrendous, to say the least.

First of all, that is extremely unlikely, since Meghan is mostly anglo.  And, I think the English would be ecstatic - it would show how trendy and open minded they are.

I can't recall what Fergie got when she and Andrew divorced. But by then Andrew was no longer in line to the throne.

The Royals and their workers call it "The Firm"  Prince Harry uses the term on a regular basis.
