Piers Morgan has a great column today regarding  Meghan saying she is a feminist.   A so called feminist who quit her career to be married and become a stay at home mom.

The funniest meme I have seen was on twitter.   "Strong feminist woman marries unemployed chap who lives with his grandmother"

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.

It's a good it wasn't put to the test, if this had been William instead of Harry....not sure QE would have given approval....interesting.

Who in the heck approved these boys as the pages?    Haircuts and faces right out of a horror movie.

Royal version I guess.

Well...it's an interesting photo.  I'm so fond of William and Kate, but, I haven't warmed up to this marriage. It seems a lot of hype and media coverage surrounded the wedding.  Yes he's a 'royal' by blood but he's 6th in line to the throne ... never going to see the throne unless there is some kind of tragedy that hits his brother William's entire family.
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.

I am happy to report that BBC America has returned to regular broadcasting.  They had been replaying the Harry/Meghan wedding on a loop 24 hours each day beginning with live coverage on Saturday through 1:00 am ET Tuesday.   ^-^

Doria Ragland Rocked A Nose Ring In The Chicest Way Possible at the Royal Wedding
https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/a20106901/meghan-markle-mother-doria-ragland-royal-wedding-dress/

@Right_in_Virginia

Can they make up their minds?  It looks like a stud to me, but sorry, I don't think there's a chic way to wear one.

That said, I felt sorry for her, sitting all alone in the church.  Charles was kind to look after her once the ceremony was over, though.

@CatherineofAragon

I will have a commemorative plate soon.  Son will send me one.  Have those plates for the royal family going back through the generations.  Also have teacups/tea pots from their times.  I was into glass/porcelain all my life - my house looks like a museum from around the world as I went from country to country, collecting glassware and cups/teapots and commemorative plates. Been to Monte Carlo twice and brought back commemorative plate of wedding of  Prince Rainier and Princess Grace.

We collect things all our lives because we like them, like to see them, appreciate them as art.  Early glassware made in this country is beautiful.  When the east coast was settled, people needed glassware so Westmorland was one of the first to come to the east coast and make glassware. They brought with them a cast of Queen Victoria's hands and reproduced them in a cupped position in milk glass. I have one of those - her hands were tiny.

@Victoria33, I'd love to see that.  She had a very small stature, didn't she?

If I were in London recently I would have probably bought all kinds of commemorative stuff, lol.

For those who disliked the gown I say boo!

Remember Diana's? The only ugly dress she ever wore in her life was her weeding dress

@Victoria33
@CatherineofAragon
@mystery-ak

BBC has an American catalog with lots of royal merchandise for sale. Top quality stuff. Wedge wood.
Royal DOulton. Etc. Then tea towels, tea cozies, food like cookies in commerative tins.

It's got really nice things.

@Freya

Hmmm   :pondering:

Diana's dress was really bad.  The train was nice, though.

A friend of mine with English ancestry visits there now and then, and every time she comes away with more Wedgwood.

I just saw a snippit on a photography forum.

The official photographer charged about $38,000.

To put that in comparison, the average US wedding photography runs around $2,500.

Yeah, but you have to convert Pounds to Dollars. When you do that it is the same.

She better not get too far out of line or I expect Elizabeth will slap that crap down.

Considering the logistics, I'm actually a bit surprised it was that cheap. For something that size, he would have an entire team working at a crazy pace.

I think this "messy bun" is her signature look @mystery-ak   She wore it for the evening reception, too.  Although why this would take 45 minutes and a sylist to do is anyone's guess.  Give me a hair clip from CVS, 15 seconds ... and Viola!   :laugh:



@Right_in_Virginia

I can't even get my hair to stay up; it's too heavy.  I once had a clip spring loose from the stress and almost hit someone in the face, lol. 

That's Diana's aquamarine ring.

Don't let the size of the event fool you. The dude only took 10 pictures max......at least that all I have been seeing since the weekend.
