Royal Wedding Emblematic of the Decline of the Church of England

I’ve read Diana was a convert to Islam and chose to reject Christ (not that she probably ever accepted Him as Savior anyways).

Prince Henry (Harry) may have been presciently named.

Sarah Ferguson was there; in fact, she was one of the best-dressed women there. Learned a lesson, one supposes. But she was not seated by the Powers that Be next to her daughters, but in the main section of the church. The daughters sat up front in the choir with their father and the rest of the royals.

[Albion Wilde]

The fact that the 36 year old divorced woman wore a veil over her face was a little much and Harry looked like an emotional mess.

The fact is, Harry is an emotional mess, God bless him. And I was also very disgusted that the CoE officials and the Queen let her get away with the white dress and veil as if their meaning were simply visual, not spiritual. Even Camilla had the good sense to dress appropriately when she was remarried. I loathe the woman, but I really loved her wedding ensemble in every detail:

Family was often smiling and even chuckling and laughing.

Mostly at that over-the-top bishop's grandstanding, my FRiend.

Now who could he possibly mean? :-)

[Albion Wilde]

I take it you think you are being amazingly witty and clever to keep trotting out this widely-debunked, nasty and vile rumor about Harry’s father. It has been put to rest long, long ago, except for people who enjoy calling others bastards and thinking others’ pain is enjoyable. You stay classy, hear?

Ferguson made her bed and burnt her bridges through adultery...



and lies.

[Albion Wilde]

Poor Princess Margret forced into a loveless marriage and finally divorced. Not a very happy life for that poor lady.

And it was her sister, the Queen, who, at the young age of 26, had to endorse that position of the Anglican Church, as she should have. But I think Margaret's eventual misery must be one of the dynamics underlying Elizabeth's reluctance to rein in her wayward descendants as regards marriage.

[Albion Wilde]

Diana could have put a Muslim on the throne of England....

That is not remotely possible, no matter to whom she would have remarried. She was not in the line of succession.

While the acceptance of people of color into the royal fold is a welcome and long-overdue change

I didn’t know a person of color was previously turned away. The author speaks as though we all have a duty to marry someone from another race. Silly me, I’ve always thought you should marry someone you love.

Time for a rewrite by Peter Noonan!

Or by Peter Cook:

He actually broke the military code governing facial hair; UK requires men to be clean shaven while in uniform. Think about it: otherwise, they would have to permit the muslims to have their henna-dyed ungroomed beards and the sikhs their turbans and daggers, etc. He had to get special permission from the Queen to keep the beard.

If you are financially subsidized, marry against “your will”, and take a vow before Jesus Christ/God/Holy Sprit, then swallow your pride/sorrows and honor your vows. That goes for the females too.

See post 83.

I have read that one of the first things Queen Elizabeth did after the coronation was to change the law so that Margaret could never become queen if Elizabeth pre-deceased her.

Scroll a third of the way down the Wikipedia page on Princess Margaret and you will see that Winston Churchill and Queen Elizabeth tried to find a workable legal solution so that Margaret could, in fact, marry Townsend. Elizabeth was trying to help her sister marry Townsend. The Church of England and the Parliament were the ones opposed to the marriage to a divorced man with children. Margaret was only 22; Townsend was 16 years older—the same age gap that scandalized the Democrats and RINOs last year when Roy Moore ran for Senate. Different times, different degree of wealth, different culture...

[Albion Wilde]

Pardon me; it was not Churchill, but his successor Anthony Eden, who tried to help Elizabeth remove Margaret from the line of succession so that she could marry a divorced man.

[ladyjane]

I never said it was Churchill. It was Anthony Eden, a divorced man, who plotted with Elizabeth to remove Margaret.

Her two sons don’t have a shot?
