Looks like we are going to see less of the Queen and more of Prince Chuckles.

@Right_in_Virginia Harryâ€™s not smiling in many of the pics, even when everybody else is. Meghan has that perpetual 💩 eating grin.

I think they're an attractive couple and seem well suited. They also seem to be trying very hard to be respectful and appropriate.

Sorry folks., but in my books, nothing fabulous about Markle. She's loving the fame for sure, but to me, she just doesn't fit in. I don't think she's 'polished' enough.

FTR (for the record), Meghan has made the news some for addressing... abortion.... news agencies have seen fit to report this, I guess the news with most of this is that she breaks protocol in discussing this:

No Brit designers! Also, was Kate recycling outfits at this point? Sheâ€™s very good with that, as well as mixing in affordable pieces.

I'm sure all of the meetings between the President and the Queen had posted stories....met at Windsor Castle:

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-britain-queen/donald-trump-meets-britains-queen-elizabeth-at-windsor-castle-idUSKBN1K32D1

I was reading "biasedbbc.org" this morning, someone over there called Trump "our President", so.. I think he has plenty of support despite what we might hear... the extreme leftists, "Labour", get out there to protest, close to rent-a-mob.

Those Royal Guards types, honestly, how do they see from under that big hat? Look for their eyes. Never mind, they can see, it was a bit of an optical illusion, first picture, maybe not so much.

They're a lovely couple. But why IS Princess Eugenie having such a preposterously lavish wedding? JAN MOIR on the lowly royal given a wedding just like Harry and Meghan whose hunger for glitz and glamour is every bit as monstrous as Mother

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-5983989/Who-hell-does-Princess-Eugenie-think-JAN-MOIR-royal-copying-Harry-Meghan-wedding.html

Ah, because Princess Eugenie is the Queen's grandchild, too? Sure, she's ninth in line to the throne, but Harry's sixth. Big whoop.

Maybe the question should be why did Harry get such an extravagant wedding,

WW1 centenary: William and PM mark Battle of Amiens

The Duke of Cambridge and the prime minister have attended commemorations in northern France to mark the centenary of the Battle of Amiens - the beginning of the end of World War One.

Prince William and Theresa May both paid tribute at a service at Amiens Cathedral.

They also spoke to descendants of soldiers who fought in the battle.

Maybe we should not have gotten involved but for the Brits and Canadians and Australia, that war means everything.

The main reason why the royals didn't use to live as long has to do with the following:

1. A lot of Usurpers of the Throne. Meaning a lot of Monarchs were killed before or killed during their reign.
2. Medicine was s**t. The average lifespan has increased.

I don't see Prince Chuckles reign lasting as long as his mother. I could be wrong though.
