Meghan Markle will begin bridal procession alone, in bold feminist statement (new SJW Princess?)
CNN ^ | May 18 2018 | Max Foster

Meghan Markle will make a striking feminist statement in her wedding to Prince Harry on Saturday, choosing not to be chaperoned for much of the procession down the aisle of St. George's Chapel, Windsor, CNN has learned.

In an unprecedented step for a royal bride in the UK, Markle will walk unescorted down the aisle of the chapel nave, after being met at the West Door by a member of the clergy. She will be accompanied in this first part of the wedding procession only by her bridesmaids and page boys, with the senior church figure walking ahead.

Prince Charles will join her when she reaches the Quire, where the main royal guests will be seated. The Prince -- Harry's father -- will walk Markle down the Quire aisle to the foot of the altar.

But Charles will not give her away to her husband-to-be in the traditional sense; instead, he will stand back as Markle approaches Prince Harry.

CNN understands that Markle came up with the plan herself. It was always the intention that her father Thomas would meet her at the Quire and she would walk the first part alone. Ill health has since prevented him from coming. Both Charles and Harry are delighted with the plan, CNN understands.

No other royal bride in the UK has walked unescorted down the aisle at their wedding ceremony. Markle's decision indicates that she wishes to assert herself as a strong, independent woman who is prepared to challenge royal norms.

Speculation for the Dukedom to given to Harry is centered on Sussex (which I’ve called dibs on, lame!). The most likely alternative is Clarence. I’m not sure if any of the sites are taking bets on it, not that I have found.

How long until they drop their prohibition on Catholics being royalty?

Blue eyes are recessive so for a child to have them, both parents must have blue eyes.

My mother had blue eyes and my father had brown eyes. Two of my brothers had blue eyes.

I wonder if Markle noted all the attention Pippa Middleton got and didn’t want to share the limelight? If so, might also explain the solo entrance.

BTW, my opinion of Kate Middleton really improved after that wedding. Any bride who is happy to have her maid of honor look so lovely is a good egg in my book.

Meghan Markle will be 37 on Aug 4th..her bio clock is running out...been married once , is what I read...

But like Mooch Obama she wears wigs , she has said her own her is kinky...and there is no gloss...so she wears wigs and it is obvious...most all AA women today wears wigs...guess it is like putting on a pair of glasses to them...
what ever...she is like Hussein obama...50% white race and 50% black race...amazing the royal family is OK with that..but in today's world guess it is OK. with most...the off spring will be so mixed up years from now...smh....what ever..

I'm glad it will soon be over...tried of reading about it...enough is enough...and I have no intention of getting up at 5 a.m. to see it....It will be repeated all week end and probably all next week...

Harry better get ready to hear “Racist!!” from Meghan and her Mother after every argument. When they divorce, he and his family will be labeled as racists.

Last night I was on YouTube and noticed that there were several royal wedding videos in my recommendations. Out of morbid curiosity I watched some of them. The reply section was inundated with shameless racism against whites by blacks and cucked, self-hating whites.

The SJW’s absolutely idolize Meghan because she is half black. She, nor her mother, can do no wrong. Some cretin even suggested that Barky should walk her down the aisle. My Pepsi ended up on my monitor after reading that gem.

Harry has made some mistakes in his life but he will bitterly regret this one. To make things even worse, Meghan’s momma has quit her job and is moving to England. Makes one recall Michelle Obama’s mother.

I want to emphasize that the problem with Markle isn’t her racial background but her SJW, Leftist beliefs.

I don’t know anything about any of this. But I did get to see Princess Di in Vancouver, B.C. long ago.

I’m really a little surprised the train is even making it out of the station. So I won’t be surprised when it derails.

If Harry wasn’t marrying an American commoner, it wouldn’t get the hype it does.

Frankly, is an inbred royal welfare family still relevant in the 21st Century?

You have to be Anglican to be in line for the throne.

I don’t think the law has been changed since the monarch is the head of the Church Of England.

That began with Henry VIII who had Thomas More executed for treason for refusing to give on his Catholic beliefs to follow the shift in the political winds.

Will the prince dip his arms into the royal pudding, as is tradition?
