Cheers, Prince Harry! But the last time a British royal married an American, it didn't go well.

The last time this happened - in 1936 when King Edward VIII decided to wed American socialite Wallis Simpson it triggered a crisis inside Windsor Castle.
The bride is certainly much better looking this time. Good for Harry.

Will she be a princess or a dutchess like Sarah Ferguson when she wed prince Andrew.

Like this one she wasnt much to look at either, eh wot?
Here's what the girl looks like. Every day, Harry should get down on his knees and thank the Almighty that the guy in the mirror was born into royalty.
To: Zakeet
British law on succession is very well established. She will have no claim of any kind on the Royal Exchequer. In fact she and Harry will be welfare recipients.

Last time a British royal married an American he wasn’t 5th in line for the throne.

WaPo does fake news even with facts. Considering retarded Prince Chuck, nobody cares if the 5th down the line has an American squeeze for a few years until she runs off with a rock star.

“”On her second divorce and third marriage.””
Everything I’ve seen has her married and divorced once.
I love that her parents gave their “approval” of the pending marriage. Well, that’s a no brainer for sure...
Did anyone expect:
“No, dear daughter - you do not have our blessing to marry the grandson of the Queen of England.”
To: Zakeet
The headline is pretty deceiving. The marriage went well for the couple, maybe not for the crown but that’s a different kettle of fish!
To: Citizen Soldier
Duchess. Maybe.
According to rumor he will be made Duke of Sussex after his marriage.
But he could be given any number of other titles.
By tradition only monarch's children, the wife of the Prince of Wales and the children in the direct line are given the title of "Prince" or "Princess".
Kate is the Duchess of Cambridge and will remain so until her husband becomes Prince of Wales or King, in which case she will become Princess of Wales or Queen.

Acctually, Churchill defended the Weenie King and did not think he should abdicate.

She’s a serial cohabiter (with her first husband for six years before they got married for only two) and a gold digger.
Plus she comes from a crazy, dysfunctional American family. Her dad’s side is filled with divorce, alcoholism, and domestic violence.
What could possibly go wrong!

I’ve always wondered something. Just what is a ‘’socialite’’?.
