She’s marrying to live the good life.

She’ll do as she’s told.

Because William isn't hen-pecked like Harry.

Meghan Markle is already the worst royal-by-marriage ever.

She is to Sarah Ferguson as Barack Obama is to Jimmy Carter.

it may be getting time for the Queen to have tea with little Meghan to explain that royals simply don’t get involved in flash-in-the-pan,here today, gone tomorrow, ‘movements.’ Spare queens-in-waiting are better seen and not heard, lest they overshadow the Queen’s dignity.

My long two cents: Watched the video footage. Meghan Markle’s commentary in this context is perfectly appropriate. Prior to meeting Harry, she had already done work in British commonwealth countries like Rwanda and India, where women’s rights are MOST definitely a necessary conversation. And where it would mean a lot for girls to have a role model in Meghan.

Not to mention the relevance of womens rights in *Muslim* cultures given the Islamic presence in England and Europe —> the influence of which prior to “Brexit” neither the monarchy nor British govt served as a buffer for.

Understandable given the focus on limp causes like climate change (Prince Charles) and dead nonsense Prince William recently spewed about human overpopulation in the context of animal rights. (These things I’ve seen discussed about on FreeRepublic.)

CLearly Prince Harry’s had the most impressive record of tangible accomplishment with his military vet causes and organizing the Invictus Games for wounded warriors. He has fire in his belly, seems quite calculating, and is no idiot. He won’t just marry anyone.

The monarchy’s lucky to have her, as its relevance is always hanging by a thread.

She knows it’s in her best interests to act like a lady.

Why is Meghan divorced?
Why is Meghan a slut?

Future proves past.
You have more information than you know.

consider the latest article. It wouldn’t be the first time an American divorcee didn’t quite fit in with the British culture of lesser royals expected to be more seen than heard:

“As I’m unlikely to score an invite to the People’s Wedding in May to mill around the castle grounds with several thousand of the happy couple’s closest strangers, I can talk about the elephant in the room. I know Prince Harry spotted it too, as he went a funny colour and chewed his lip.

[snip]

Meghan would do well to remember she is becoming a member of a constitutional hierarchy, which depends on everyone knowing their exact place in the pecking order, and toeing endless invisible lines.
In theory, the Royal Wives don’t do politics: they accept posies from little girls, they produce heirs and spares, they don’t go around using their romantic entrees into the Firm as a platform to lobby for lasting and much needed change in the patriarchal power structures of society – in a country they haven’t even lived in for more than a few months.
It just isn’t done… or at least it hasn’t been done, yet.
Meghan even dismissed her own nuptials as something to get out of the way before her real work begins. Harry muttered ‘Wedding first, eh’ but his dynamic fiancee had already powered on about ‘hitting the ground running’....

Kate Middleton appears to be a class act so far. As far as the Meghen person, she exhibits all the characteristics of the traditional “ugly American” and in time will go the way of the other losers who tried to be “controversial” and succeeded in being only annoying and obnoxious.

I predict the wedding will not take place. He has better options than the ostentatious reject.
