New Prince

I thought the new one was fifth in line
Her name is Meghan where’s some respect

Why respect? At the moment she is an actress who needs to earn our respect.

Totally disrespdpectful to call her Merkel I doubt anyone said Prince Charles and Spencer or Prince William and Middleton

Every bride deserves to have her name quoted right and not be confused with a completely different person. What if the marrying priest got it wrong and Harry were to find himself married to Angela Merkel, and Meghan found herself presiding over German politicians and making speeches to the EU?

Why should an actress not be entitled to respect in her own right, Humbertbear?
We don’t talk about Dench, Mirren, or Smith do we?

I'm sad to say but the more I see of Meghan, the more I think she is playing a part.
I do hope not for Harry's sake.

I like the look of Megan, maybe the fact that she is very confident grates on some, Harry certainly looks extremely happy, what’s not to like? Love her sense of style, hope being “royal” doesn’t turn her frumpish, doubt it haha ?

annsixty you have voiced my sneaky suspicion. She probably just needs time to adjust. I do think she needs to find her own style and that may take a bit of time and some not so good outfits.

I must say I don’t take to Meghan. Beautiful, yes, but slightly vulgar, too showbizzy. I understand that Harry’s in love with her, but if it lasts a lifetime I’ll be very surprised.

With you Annsixty , I think the same

Every time I see Meghan Markle I see a modern day Wallis Simpson.

Not that it matters a jot.

Wonderful news for Kate and William, an uncomplicated birth and a healthy baby to join their family.

Who could have imagined when they were born, that one of Charles's sons would marry a young woman he met at university. The other would marry a young woman who had been divorced, is of dual heritage, has an established career in acting as well as being recognised as a woman involved in humanitarian issues. Watching Harry and Meghan arrive at the service to commemorate the death of Steven Lawrence was moving imo. A young woman whose is of white US and black slave ancestry marrying into the British royal family - reflects the way life is changing for the better.

Well said, Iam. I was going to write something similar and now you have done it for me. I somehow think that Diana would have got on well with Meghan.

Iam64 exactly, and very well said from me too

I'm scratching my head over whether or not Diana would have really got on with a successful confident, glamorous, touchy feely American actress?

Is it just me who thinks it was very convenient that the baby was born on St George’s day ? My cynical mind wonders if it was part of the grand plan?

BlueBelle; Sorry! I've obviously upset you, and as an Englishman and a Gentleman I sincerely apologise.
I said I was on bended knee so expect the Royal Sword to smite anytime now. Even St. George might come after me.
My source of lineage info obviously can't count and my descriptor, "Merkel" might be due to a misplaced subliminal between Windsor and Germany.
No disrespect was intended. It won't happen again. Promise!
Please feel free to correct any other errors you may stumble across.
For now I'll pull .my head in and disappear down my bolt-hole!
Good Health

gillybob, only if it was c section, tbf I couldn't care less I was more excited when my grandchildren were born

Iam 64 well said. I have to say that as a very patriotic English woman I was very happy when one of my grandchildren was born on St George's Day....

I confess to not being particularly interested in the latest addition apart from "oh a healthy baby boy, nice".
What I did find interesting was the documentary on Camilla, my thoughts being "lovely natural lady".
Meghan ..... Wish she would stop constantly fiddling with her hair and just shove those long bits behind her ears and leave them there! I share her hair fiddling habit and am determined to stop!

If Meghan's playing a part, good for her! I thought from the start that being an actress may be very useful in her new life.

If she can keep the part she needs to play in the public eye separate from the person she really is; the person that Harry fell for; a person we do not see or know; then that may be one of the best ways of coping with the pressure younger members of the royal family are put under.

I was fascinated to see that Duchess Kate was wearing high heels just hours after the birth of the new Prince. I had easy natural births with my babies...but my legs were pretty wobbly for a while!

I was thinking more of her being induced at home ( she did apparently have a team of 20+ ) then a swift dash to her “wing” and Bob’s your uncle or Alberts your prince.
