Smeggy apparently wanted to live in Windsor castle because she said Kensingtom Palace was too crowded and didn't allow them the privacy they wanted. That was the excuse. Brenda and Chas told them that if privacy was an issue then Windsor Castle wouldn't suit them as it was (like KP) choc a bloc with various relatives and old retainers, was very busy and was also very much under scrutiny from tourists ... so the Firm would refurb Froggy as it was in it's own private grounds, well protected and would be perfect for privacy.Whilst I'm hardly out to defend Meghan, what I would say is that it's not unreasonable for royal weddings to take place on weekdays as they have short engagements and Saturdays are booked up.
That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if she wanted a Saturday for the viewing figures given there was no bank holiday for the spares.
ETA - and they chose Windsor, given they courted () there in the UK and elected to live there for all of 5 minutes before they fucked off.
Bank holidays are only given for senior royals. We didn't have one for Eugene, Andrew and Sophie, Anne and either of her husbands or Andrew and Fergie (if memory serves!). Wills and Kate had one, as did Charles and Diana because the men are in direct royal succession, not because it was a royal wedding.Royal tradition dictates weddings occur on weekdays and we have been given bank holidays previously I.e. W&K.
Personally, I saw it as they were getting married on a Saturday due to her being a divorcee. I also think she wanted a big London wedding but Brenda turned her down.
Yep agree - didn't mention privacy of the venue or otherwise. And doesn't she know Windsor is Liz's weekend home? She's not going to give it up.Smeggy apparently wanted to live in Windsor castle because she said Kensingtom Palace was too crowded and didn't allow them the privacy they wanted. That was the excuse.

Basically smeggy wanted the Winndsor Castle address because princesses live in castles, everyone knows that! So she shot herself in the foot citing privacy as her excuse to duck KP off the table ... and thus Froggy got renovated for them and she never got the Castle she craved.
OK, please tell me that I wasn’t the only one who kept pressing the “play” button?!
Nor me, although I watch a lot of American TV, I had never seen Suits. Husband and I started watching it after she married Harry. It wasn't our kind of show so we ditched it after 4 episodes.I had never heard of her before she sunk her claws into Harry
Do mean this one? Telling Harry and Meghan to stand back? *senior royals only*

According to Taz is who I think you mean.What’s the name of the Meghan vlogger, who is smiley and blonde and has a guitar on the wall behind her?
Thanks to all who welcomed me on the last thread. I'm usually around to see what everyone is saying but only get the chance to post when I get a break from my kids!
I just noticed a few people throwing shade on Omid 'Scabie's' post about Princess Charlotte's birthday.
I just did a bit of research on Scabie. Apparently he used to work for Heat magazine and is 'gender neutral'
I'd like to know this too. I knew about the tweet her husband posted around New Year, but I don't know anything about this Snow White video. Any tea to spill?Is it true Serena Williams has fallen out with her?

I think it's been painted on by the looks of it?What is wrong with his face?
So this was retweeted by Murky Meg. Omid Scobie was on TV talking about the letter Meghan wrote to her father. He explicitly says that the letter was written with the public in mind, that Meghan always knew that the letter would be made public.
Doesn't this expose Meghan completely? In court she wouldn't have a leg to stand on. Omid is Meghan's mouthpiece. I hope the Mail's lawyers know about this.
