Yep. It’s v.v. important for those parents to believe their kids are completely independent and ready to fly free, so they can live their best lives without the burden of parental responsibility. Having kids can be so damned confining!

Hmmmm ... not my kids. They know how good they have it! ;)

Yes; people would have rallied around her and loved her even more for showing such truth and authenticity. Being depressed, anxious, or whatever else she was struggling with wouldn’t have negated the beauty that Kate put into the world ~ it would have just made her that much more real and human to people who valued…

What the?!?!? I refuse to have an Alexa, Echo, or any of their ilk in my home, and stories like this make me feel very smug.*

So, lady with a thick (Slavic?) accent ... you may or may not be a U.S. citizen; I don’t know, but I’m a 5th generation Californian and I don’t go around telling people, “This is my country.” Calm yourself, before you’re hoisted by your own petard.

This is totally, completely, 100% appalling. I never thought I’d say this, but FUCK YOU, JASON BATEMAN!! 👆

As long as you can pull one over on the people, you can be a man of the people.

Please don’t hate me, but Westminster is an abbey. St. Paul’s is a cathedral. St. George’s, where Harry & Meghan were married, is a chapel. I’ll slink away now.

I thought so too! I love Kate and thought she looked gorgeous, as always. I was just playing with the OP’s idea.

That definitely could be. On the surface, Kate’s outfit was beyond reproach: it was beautiful and perfectly suitable, and she looked gorgeous as always, without being in any danger of upstaging the bride. BUT wearing a 3-times recycled coat dress to your brother-in-law’s wedding, when you have a whole world of…

I thought the wedding dress, like many of Meghan’s clothes, didn’t seem to fit her properly. It looked loose and boxy, unlike Kate’s dress, which fitted to perfection.

The Queen’s outfit was certainly more interesting than Meghan’s!

If you mean the woman in the purple cape dress and perfectly matching hat, that’s Earl Spencer’s wife, ie Kitty’s (2nd) stepmother.

Nooooooooo. Charles had plenty of opportunity to propose to Camilla, whom he met LONG before he met Diana — when Diana was a child, in fact — but he dithered until she accepted Andrew Parker Bowles. Then there was a years-long period during which Camilla was a married woman having children and Charles was a single…

The look over the shoulder at the end is the best. 😂

You mean their last anniversary??

Say what you will about the Middletons* (I for one think Carole is an awesome badass), but they have been CHAMPS through William & Kate dating, the engagement, the wedding, and now the marriage. They should have been brought in to tutor the Markles.

That’s what I was thinking, too! What a stunning couple they must have been.

That does not bode well for the wedding dress. 😬

Charles & Camilla were both single when they met; he just couldn’t get off his butt and propose to her, so she accepted Andrew Parker Bowles, a rather dashing Army officer, instead. When Charles & Diana married, Camilla & Andrew were also married. Long story short, Camilla being a divorcee was never an impediment to…
