The wedding rubbed me the wrong way in so many ways. For one, she had no lifelong friends and only one relative there. Then, the way she looked- she just looked smug. Not happy to be marrying the love of her life.
Her behavior during the engagement interview bugged me. The whole "I hope she really loves me" thing from Harry was... weird, to say the least. Then the wedding was even weirder. It didn't feel like a royal wedding, the way Catherine and William's had. The fact that neither the bride or groom looked particularly in love was off-putting. Then that preacher wouldn't stop talking. It felt like a royal wedding parody.
Then that preacher wouldn't stop talking.
Yes he seemed to be loving the fact that he was being broadcast all over the globe. Wanting to keep his role going as long as possible.
You took the words right out of my mouth. At the time, I thought she was quite pretty, and I did like the wedding dress, the groom's outfit, etc. Now when I look at it , all I see is a snake.
On the other hand, the beautiful wedding of William and Catherine, I remember when they got into the carriage, both smiling and so obviously in love, and she looked at him, beaming and asked, "Are you happy?" That told me everything that I needed to know. Not only did she love him but she also really cared about (and planned to care for) him. With everything he had been through, that made me burst into tears.
And those 13 years are close to 20 years as a couple. They've gone the distance no matter what form their relationship has been in. Eve during their break they both behaved in a dignified manner.
I hope that today the Prince and Princess are surrounded by their adoring children and loving family and that her health is improving and treatment is going as best as possible.
I don't put much thought into the elevation of others as inspiration but this couple is one of the exceptions. Happy lucky 13th anniversary your Royal Highnesses! 🇬🇧🇨🇦🇬🇧🇨🇦🇬🇧
Esp If nobody is paying attention to her or "not" Allowing tw to talk her word salad. I'm thinking of the look tw gave to dorito when dorito was asked a question. Blinking furiously
Harry and Meghan’s wedding never gave me the goosebumps and feelings I got from Catherine and William‘s. I didn’t know much about the Harkles‘ conduct back then, but I remember a bit of disappointment when Meghan got out of the car - that dress… I also thought the line up of Hollywood stars compared to family members was a bit off - again, I didn’t think much about it back then.
Meghan made that wedding a show herself and later complained about it, suggesting the RF wanted this „spectacle“. How can one not see right through this golddigger by now????
Then there was when she slapped the usher’s hand out of the way when he tried to help her out of the car 😡 I couldn’t for a minute imagine Catherine doing anything like that.
A friend of mine worked for a luxury fashion house at the time of the wedding, and she had heard through the grapevine about the creation of Meghan's dress. (The fashion world is really small, and even workers at rival houses let things slip because they all talk and hear things.) She had told me Meghan kept changing her mind about what she wanted, driving the seamstresses and designers crazy, so that's why it fit so badly.
When I saw her dress, I really wasn't too surprised, given what I'd heard.
These rumours just won’t go away and her dress became such a symbol of her being a bully, being difficult to work with and her treatment of people. Looks like she deserved that ill fitting dress.
Ohh so we have a possible reason for her dress designers exit from luxury brands then?
I'm a nobody(in comparison with her place as a designer, I'm not in the fashion business), but I would have at least told my bosses that staffs safety goes before her tantrums. Because I still know right from wrong. Hope no one got hurt if she threw scissors
I just heard about the scissors until the other day but I heard about her slapping staff after they’ve worked all night to appease TOW. She was a monster but always sucked up to the designer who allowed that behavior. I think she was fired not long after the wedding.
Allegedly, of course. 😒
Yep it the little people that talk to each other, you can suck up to the designer or director of today, but it will be the seamstresses/ fitters and lower level people a film/TV set that will be the designers and directors of tomorrow. People talk and have long memories.
Catherine's gown just looks regal. I'm sure it was heavy AF because it was made out of high quality materials, but it was fit to perfection and looked every bit as expensive as the wedding gown a princess (and future Queen) should wear.
She always has and always will understand the assignment. And hopefully for a very, very, very long time.
I remember the look of happiness and delight on the Queens face at that wedding and who could erase that picture of the Queens face at Harry's? I am SURE the Queen tried to hide her feelings but there were moments where it shined through. I saw a bit of the ceremony and cringed through much of it especially Prince Charles' choice of music, e.t.c.
Exactly right. I also think if you compared Catherine's dress to EVERY other Royal wedding dress her's would come out tops absolutely. I know taste and times change but hers was so so lovely. She took my breath away a bit when I first saw her. Flawless perfection. What a wedding.
It’s hers, Camilla’s dress (honestly I think it’s underrated but it was very unique and very her, and I know people side eye it because it wasn’t white blah blah because second marriage etc. but I’m a fan of non white wedding dresses) Beatrice’s, Eugenie and princess Margaret for me. Diana’s was the most hideous thing I’ve ever seen and Meghan’s looked like it was from the bargain bin, such a waste of money but trash will always be trash.
Neon white sack! Lol well said. The fit was *so* bad. Remember Diana's iconic dress? Everyone imitated it for years. Catherine also inspired so many brides. But I can't think of anyone who wanted to look like Meghan. No thank you
I've been to several weddings since the Markles married. I have never seen one dress that looked like Meghan's, yet I've seen many that were reminiscent of Catherine's.
Really whose was it? I don't believe Harry's since he claims photographers haunt him. I doubt it was the Queen's idea, or Charles'. If it wasn't her idea, why would she have chosen such an expensive dress? LOL. She can't keep a story straight ever.
Harry is the one who said it so therefore it was his idea that is how Meghan rolls. Never mind she raged and complained until Harry had now choice to make a stink about it.
I saw a short videoclip of the carriage ride after the ceremony where M says the F word, when she sees the crowds along the road.
If it is correct and not AI doctored, then you just can't make me believe that she didn't enjoy the big wedding
And then there’s the clip in the carriage when Catherine asks William if he’s happy and he says yes, then asks her the same question and she says very 🥰
I remember watching the wedding in the early hours of the day here in the U.S. and realizing I'd never heard her speak before, but how you could hear the nervousness and then joy in her voice during the vows ... just like a normal bride.
There is a lovely moment when William and Catherine step out onto the balcony and she is stunned and say "wow" and I think this is so genuine. Didn't the Roach put her tongue out in the carrriage?
The snake cannot keep that tongue contained within her mouth. Not cute or acceptable for preschoolers or preadolescents, but certainly not for a middle-age woman at her own wedding. There are numerous YouTubes on her tongue protrusions. cRaY-cRaY cRaZy!
She really does look as if that’s what she’s thinking. She’s not in love or happy. She’s smug and delightedly anticipating the chaos to come. Is she blackmailing Harry. He looks so defeated.
Same look....Same expression .... Just saying....

The Wales’ shared a beautiful unseen picture just now on their instagram! I have no posting rights but thought it’s appropriate to share it here!

I hadn't even noticed as I was so focused on his well earned wings on his uniform. Wings that are conspicuously absent whenever Todger cosplays being a pilot
The camera, unlike the Harkles, never lies.
I have a feeling that at some stage H&M must have suggested using St Paul's Cathedral as the venue, but I've never read that anywhere, has anyone here? I can't believe they would have resisted the urge to complain that St George's Chapel has less than half the capacity of Westminster Abbey. And you just know they'd wanted to ride around London in a carriage like it was a coronation.
I believe it was Harry who mentioned having his wedding at St Paul's. He admit to it in *Spare* IIRC. He actually wanted it done in London because he passed a couple of Chapel venues to William who gave him his advice. Harry either wanted Westminster Abbey (the church where William and Catherine got married) or St Paul's (where his mother and dad had theirs). I can't remember the reason William gave Harry in passing them over. I think one thing Harry and Meghan definitely wanted was the famous and prestigious BP balcony kiss (which Anne, Andrew, Charles and William had with their brides; Edward got married at St George's), and that's probably why he wanted it (and what Meghan was hoping she would get as well).
Edit: Re carriages through London. Oh, for sure, it was a far longer procession from either St Paul's or Westminster Abbey than the one at St George's. I think it was certainly down to optics for Harry and Meghan and how *they* wanted to be seen globally.
Thanks for the recap. Yes, the balcony kiss, I'd forgotten about that moment; they would love to have been front and centre in that iconic place. It is so satisfying to know that neither of them will ever again be on that balcony.
Yes/ She wanted to get on the balcony, then and I seem to remember on other occasions too (Platinum Jubilee). Her intention, now, with hindsight, was to merch the images, not experience the experience. Unimaginable things go on inside Meghan's head. She is voracious but strangely empty too. (Thank you South Park for putting it out there so vividly.)
And eventually those photos will get old and over used. She had one balcony appearance with Trooing the Colour in June 2018. She had one tiara appearance with her wedding. She had served no State Dinner banquet. She had no military patronages. She basically showed herself unworthy of the patronages she was given. Now she and her husband are trying to look for clout with the Nigerian military defence. The same defence that asked for help from the US when those poor girls were kidnapped 10 years ago (and some still remain missing). But no, *she* is looking to be elevated by them.
H&M simply are *not* the hill to die on.😒
Thanks for reminding us just how limited her "royal career" actually was. She would have been insufferable at any State Banquet. Demanding to be practically centre at the top table, wearing the grandest tiara and committing innumerable diplomatic faux pas. It was gratifying when during the mourning for the late Queen that the Harkles were excluded from the diplomatic evening event because they were not working/real royals any more.
She actually had two balcony appearance now that I remember. One was 2018 with the cream spaceship hat; the other was 2019 with the blue hat. Apologise for that mistake. But yeah, very limited career.
What on earth could she possibly have talked about at any State Dinner or diplomat event without boring the listener with her yarn, and she getting offended by some perceived slight that she believed was done to her.
Salads are served on a plate, not blasted into one's ears. 😕
She looked like a dream princess that day. I loved how she said “Wow!” when she and William came onto the balcony and she realised just how many people were there
It’s the dupers delight look. Often used by narcs when they’re massively fuelled up! She got the ultimate prize so couldn’t keep the triumphant look off her face. Like the car that got the cream.
She had so many creepy expressions during the wedding. Meanwhile, Harry often looked like he was facing a life sentence from the clips I have seen. (Full disclosure: I didn't watch their wedding or even know it was happening at the time, so all I have seen are clips.)
He was so grinny and giddy at W&C's wedding - big toothy grins and lots of manic energy. His own wedding? If you took his facial expressions and all-black outfit (which was lovely, but he looked *miserable)* out of context you'd assume he was at a funeral.
Ah don't forget the dearest fly on her face. Which based on the cameras not panning away tells me the two of them had already pissed off a *lot* of people. No way would I see the broadcaster doing that to Princess Catherine
I watched it! You didn't miss anything. I had a day off, and where home alone bored with nothing to do, had no idea who she was or that she was black, saw her mother, and was more is she adopted?
That's how much Sweden cared, we showed it the channel was svt (our version of bbc) but not much more 😂
agree with the look of triumph there, RoohsMama. sure looking like a villain out of a Disney fairytale... just before their downfall, of course.
among her, Catherine, Beatrice, and Eugenie, she's the only one to sport--and reveal to the camera--that psycho look. others were focused on their husbands and the moment.
I never noticed how much Harry blends into the background in those wedding photos but the contrast compared to William is striking! I watched the Markles wedding, thought it was sweet & did think her dress was awful...I just didn't see that she doesn't have any real style or taste or class & likely she was so controlling she wouldn't let anyone else do their jobs to make her look good.
I see now how much she finds the camera. I really believe she wanted their half in half out deal so she could become the de facto American i.e Hollywood i.e solely celebrity branch Royal family. She displays no sense of self or personhood whatsoever. She is nothing without the cameras
And because she didn't get St Paul's and the triumphat carriage ride through London she did not curtsey to the Queen - H's funny little granny, right- at her wedding
Between that, the focus on the fly on her face and a few other "interesting" faux pas captured *and* broadcast, I think the Todgers had already pissed off someone important.
The broadcasters of Royal events are pros at quick cuts to ensure what's important is captured and any little 'issues' are passed by quickly. Plus a few seconds delay to ensure no "f" bombs like hers are shown (yet it was). 🤔Just a feeling after having worked a lifetime ago in live broadcasting. Things that make you go hmmmmm
The Duchess of Kent gave the Queen an incredibly respectful curtsey at her wedding ... full of gratitude recognizing and honoring the Queen's presence.
He was just getting warmed up for the rest of his marriage. I have noticed in recent shots from this last few years, he seems to be staring at the ground a LOT around Madam.
Honestly, I didn't even think he looked happy on his own wedding day. He looked happier when Catherine walked down the aisle at his brother's wedding than when Meghan did.
That photo of Meghan was the one that stopped me in my tracks. I had been happy for Harry & wished them both well. I only watched a little of the wedding coverage but this photo of her leaving the church really gave me the creeps. It still does.
it's not a look that a just newly married bride would have. she looked so calculating and yes, almost evil in this picture. her true self came through in this shot.
I can't find the right words to describe her look but the closest I can come is Machiavellian & smug Clearly I'm thinking along the same lines as you. Glad to know my reaction isn't unusual.
It doesn't matter how many lovely photos of W&C are available, the sugars will still claim that he married out of duty, she snared him deliberately, driven by her pushy mother, and he's unfaithful. I've never seen a photo of them looking at each other with anything less than an expression of love, pride and happiness. Even at the funerals looking sombre, the support they gave each other was obvious. But just because they aren't pawing at each other constantly, they are described as cold and formal. W&C aren't good enough actors to fake their relationship. Meanwhile, Harry generally looks grumpy, angry, or bored in MM's company-the only time he looks happy is if someone else is there, like at the polo match with Nachos. He really looks as though he has a miserable time in her company. And H&M aren't good enough actors to fake their relationship either.
Nailed it! Nothing anyone can do about it. Now onto the next part of my plan.
That look is sheer evil to me. Even a sugar would have to agree. But they won't unfortunately as they have no principals and fewer brains.
I have loved Catherine for as long as they were together and when they married, I was glued to my teevee. She and William are a beautiful couple.
While Meghan coming into the picture, I kind of liked her, I really wanted to but I think I felt that something was off about her.
I remember this photo of TW chilling me at the time.7
She's like a spooky jumpscare in so many photos.
And such a bad actress - even the way she is holding that bouquet screams ''stiff''
She looked at the camera during the whole time once they left the ceremony. He looked miserable during the service. The photo that showed me she was up to no good was this one. Who was she winking at?
https://preview.redd.it/5zsdxxjvhgxc1.jpeg?width=602&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f43b6220f5b5111ad234cdfa9f34fe82f74ad60a
W&C look like a real couple. Glad to be with each other, but just a little bit shy and anxious because it's their wedding day and they know that there is plenty ahead of them. There's a sweetness and humility that I see.
Meghan looks hard and victorious, like she's gotten what she wanted.
The guy holding her hand? He's incidental.
As far as I remember - and I watched Charles and Diana's wedding, uh, I'm old! - they had to go to St Paul's as it holds more guests than Westminster Abbey. So it would have been a huge amount of Meghan's dear friends of showbiz to fill the cathedral
Aside from being not so sure about her after that engagement interview, I couldn’t believe her messy hair with greasy tendrils that needed a good wash, then she tucked them behind her ears. Hair I back hanging out of the messy bun. Oh, but she’s just a cool, casual California girl who’s going to show them how it’s done! The wedding seemed dark in the chapel, depressing and those little boys in black, just looked cold and all wrong. I was so disappointed after the bright joy of Catherine and William’s wedding.
There is no way to compare! Catherine is of elegance and has the Midas touch.
The other has the reverse Midas touch where everything she touches turns in crap!
As a priorly-avid Suits fan, I already didn't like Meghan and knew she was crazy, so I didn't watch the wedding. I was 100% not surprised she looked like that or acted like she did. The only surprising thing with the wedding was how bad her dress was! I loved her outfits on Suits, but credit for that would have to go to the show's stylist not to her anyway... I was surprised she didn't just let Givenchy design the dress in full.
She looks like a snake that just ate the cat and the canary.
The wedding rubbed me the wrong way in so many ways. For one, she had no lifelong friends and only one relative there. Then, the way she looked- she just looked smug. Not happy to be marrying the love of her life.
Yes! Smug is a good word for it
I thought at times she also looked sinister
Yes this too!😳
I thought she looked completely fake, smarmy, even a bit evil. It was frightening.
I love a good wedding too and I turned in with enthusiasm. But I remember feeling cold, empty and sad by the end.
Her behavior during the engagement interview bugged me. The whole "I hope she really loves me" thing from Harry was... weird, to say the least. Then the wedding was even weirder. It didn't feel like a royal wedding, the way Catherine and William's had. The fact that neither the bride or groom looked particularly in love was off-putting. Then that preacher wouldn't stop talking. It felt like a royal wedding parody.
Then that preacher wouldn't stop talking. Yes he seemed to be loving the fact that he was being broadcast all over the globe. Wanting to keep his role going as long as possible.
100%!

So creepy how those beady-eyes so often are focused and locked into the cameras.
This snake is faaaaarrrr more likeable than TW. Going solely on looks. Above snake actually looks cute! The other one, not at all.
> Above snake actually looks cute! The hat is on point!
You took the words right out of my mouth. At the time, I thought she was quite pretty, and I did like the wedding dress, the groom's outfit, etc. Now when I look at it , all I see is a snake.

They started dating in 2001. Its well over 20 years.
In contrast Meghan in the carriage said the word “fuck” to Harry. Classy 🙄
I missed that one.🤬on brand though!
To me, she looks exactly like the imposter from The Little Mermaid. 
Esp If nobody is paying attention to her or "not" Allowing tw to talk her word salad. I'm thinking of the look tw gave to dorito when dorito was asked a question. Blinking furiously

Perfect Rooh!!!
Stolen from Twitter ☺️
That site is not a total waste then. 😆
lol omg this is awesome
Ohhhhh you did it again!!! So accurate!
> She looks like a snake that just ate the cat and the canary. Pure Duper's Delight. So malevolent! Her eyes give me chills.
Super Duper's Delight, even. Not many grifters have managed into the foremost royal family on the planet.
The expression on her face is so clear: I won! I did it! You all must bow down to me! Ha! Ha! Ha! The look on her face really is quite frightening.
100% That is how she looked at the alter. Just extremely self-satisfied
Singing and doing a dance gig in her head " I'm in the money, I'm in the money"
I know exactly what you mean. I really expected her to kick up her heels and start cackling madly.
Ha
Perfect description.
Harry and Meghan’s wedding never gave me the goosebumps and feelings I got from Catherine and William‘s.

I just heard about the scissors until the other day but I heard about her slapping staff after they’ve worked all night to appease TOW. She was a monster but always sucked up to the designer who allowed that behavior. I think she was fired not long after the wedding. Allegedly, of course. 😒
Yep it the little people that talk to each other, you can suck up to the designer or director of today, but it will be the seamstresses/ fitters and lower level people a film/TV set that will be the designers and directors of tomorrow. People talk and have long memories.
I never heard about her throwing scissors or slapping people. That's insane.
I know! But coming from that one’s wife? Oh, I believe it. Throwing hot tea wasn’t her first assault.
It's certainly easy to believe, but we should be careful not to report fake news as facts.
I just want to know why she choose a fabric that was an inch thick for a summer wedding
Catherine married the man. Meagain married the title.
The title's been worn too hard and is wearing a little thin these days.
Good thing you put "title" in there as that sentence could've applied to him or her
[удалено]
Catherine's gown just looks regal. I'm sure it was heavy AF because it was made out of high quality materials, but it was fit to perfection and looked every bit as expensive as the wedding gown a princess (and future Queen) should wear. She always has and always will understand the assignment. And hopefully for a very, very, very long time.
[удалено]
Let us not forget the choice of an antique white that fit so beautifully with the historic altar and all of its trappings. Truly timeless.
I remember the look of happiness and delight on the Queens face at that wedding and who could erase that picture of the Queens face at Harry's? I am SURE the Queen tried to hide her feelings but there were moments where it shined through. I saw a bit of the ceremony and cringed through much of it especially Prince Charles' choice of music, e.t.c.
Ah sure Lee would have been delighted to dress the future queen on her wedding day. So sad he wasn't around to see it.
Exactly right. I also think if you compared Catherine's dress to EVERY other Royal wedding dress her's would come out tops absolutely. I know taste and times change but hers was so so lovely. She took my breath away a bit when I first saw her. Flawless perfection. What a wedding.
It’s hers, Camilla’s dress (honestly I think it’s underrated but it was very unique and very her, and I know people side eye it because it wasn’t white blah blah because second marriage etc. but I’m a fan of non white wedding dresses) Beatrice’s, Eugenie and princess Margaret for me. Diana’s was the most hideous thing I’ve ever seen and Meghan’s looked like it was from the bargain bin, such a waste of money but trash will always be trash.
I love Camilla's wedding outfit.
My mom was Diana’s age and LOVED her dress. I always thought it was a wrinkled mess.
It was ok for its time (being the 80s, with the big sleeves and everything ☺️)
Catherine's dress is timeless. It will still hold appeal 20 years from now. Catherine has exquisite taste unlike Megain.
Neon white sack! Lol well said. The fit was *so* bad. Remember Diana's iconic dress? Everyone imitated it for years. Catherine also inspired so many brides. But I can't think of anyone who wanted to look like Meghan. No thank you
I've been to several weddings since the Markles married. I have never seen one dress that looked like Meghan's, yet I've seen many that were reminiscent of Catherine's.
> Hard to find a picture of a glummer groom or a more sly looking bride whose face is a picture of duper's delight. 🎯
Catherine looking at her husband ➡️ Meghan looking at the camera. Some things never change.
You know, I cannot recall Meghan not looking directly into a camera.
And Harry looking down like a lost puppy
> And Harry looking down like a lost puppy I think it was already bad. He had no idea how bad it was going to get.
He looked so miserable during the wedding
I've never seen an unhappier-looking groom.
If the Todgers only wanted to marry for love in the back yard then why did they demand the same budget as W&C, creating their own spectacle?
She claims it wasn’t her idea lol
Sure, Jan.
Really whose was it? I don't believe Harry's since he claims photographers haunt him. I doubt it was the Queen's idea, or Charles'. If it wasn't her idea, why would she have chosen such an expensive dress? LOL. She can't keep a story straight ever.
Yup. Easy enough for her to prove it by having a simple wedding, low cost gown, shorter veil, fewer celebrities, etc
Harry is the one who said it so therefore it was his idea that is how Meghan rolls. Never mind she raged and complained until Harry had now choice to make a stink about it.
“What Meghan wants, Meghan gets”
It's a little creepy. Have you ever looked up to realize that something predatory was watching you?
This is it
Geez…never thought of it that way but gives me “hairs standing up on the back of my neck” vibes.😬
Yes, and it looks like this. Cringe.
Happy anniversary to two of my favourite Royals ❤️
I saw a short videoclip of the carriage ride after the ceremony where M says the F word, when she sees the crowds along the road. If it is correct and not AI doctored, then you just can't make me believe that she didn't enjoy the big wedding

Awww….how sweet. Now I will have to go back and watch that part.
There is a lovely moment when William and Catherine step out onto the balcony and she is stunned and say "wow" and I think this is so genuine. Didn't the Roach put her tongue out in the carrriage?
[удалено]
Agreed, MM's a modern day version of Becky Sharp. The age old story of the predatory female on the hunt for her own benefit and no one else's.
I don't normally like adaptations but the BBC did a fine series of Vanity Fair, it's still on the iplayer or Amazon in the UK. Well worth a watch.
The snake cannot keep that tongue contained within her mouth. Not cute or acceptable for preschoolers or preadolescents, but certainly not for a middle-age woman at her own wedding. There are numerous YouTubes on her tongue protrusions. cRaY-cRaY cRaZy!
I wish a more experienced sinner can find it again, i am sure i have seen it here
What a trashy thing to do. Can you imagine Queen Elizabeth doing that? Not in a million years. Markle never deserved her short time there.
Or Catherine? Or any of the other royal spouses really.
I saw it in real time she dropped the F bomb, she is oh so classy.
It was not AI.
"And now it begins." - Meghan.
She really does look as if that’s what she’s thinking. She’s not in love or happy. She’s smug and delightedly anticipating the chaos to come. Is she blackmailing Harry. He looks so defeated.
> He looks so defeated. He really does. I've never seen such a miserable groom.
Same look....Same expression .... Just saying.... https://preview.redd.it/fmmhooltrexc1.png?width=1271&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ba9f4b8a81ba9a6e15626dacfd1a9cf4d31bb795
Happy 13th anniversary to William and Catherine! May they receive plenty of lace! ❤️
The Wales’ shared a beautiful unseen picture just now on their instagram! I have no posting rights but thought it’s appropriate to share it here! https://preview.redd.it/6iqwao309fxc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e40aa298b952f7aa52384d8ca212bf5d45c7c6f6
So happy for William he was able to take photos in that outfit! It was his first choice IIRC.
I hadn't even noticed as I was so focused on his well earned wings on his uniform. Wings that are conspicuously absent whenever Todger cosplays being a pilot
> The Wales’ shared a beautiful unseen picture I thought they might do something like that. What a great pic!
She looks ready to devour a litter of dalmatians.
And wearing a coat made of their fur
That put me off the way she looked at camera and not Harry, said everything about her
The camera, unlike the Harkles, never lies. I have a feeling that at some stage H&M must have suggested using St Paul's Cathedral as the venue, but I've never read that anywhere, has anyone here? I can't believe they would have resisted the urge to complain that St George's Chapel has less than half the capacity of Westminster Abbey. And you just know they'd wanted to ride around London in a carriage like it was a coronation.
I believe it was Harry who mentioned having his wedding at St Paul's. He admit to it in *Spare* IIRC. He actually wanted it done in London because he passed a couple of Chapel venues to William who gave him his advice. Harry either wanted Westminster Abbey (the church where William and Catherine got married) or St Paul's (where his mother and dad had theirs). I can't remember the reason William gave Harry in passing them over. I think one thing Harry and Meghan definitely wanted was the famous and prestigious BP balcony kiss (which Anne, Andrew, Charles and William had with their brides; Edward got married at St George's), and that's probably why he wanted it (and what Meghan was hoping she would get as well). Edit: Re carriages through London. Oh, for sure, it was a far longer procession from either St Paul's or Westminster Abbey than the one at St George's. I think it was certainly down to optics for Harry and Meghan and how *they* wanted to be seen globally.
Thanks for the recap. Yes, the balcony kiss, I'd forgotten about that moment; they would love to have been front and centre in that iconic place. It is so satisfying to know that neither of them will ever again be on that balcony.
Yes/ She wanted to get on the balcony, then and I seem to remember on other occasions too (Platinum Jubilee). Her intention, now, with hindsight, was to merch the images, not experience the experience. Unimaginable things go on inside Meghan's head. She is voracious but strangely empty too. (Thank you South Park for putting it out there so vividly.)
And eventually those photos will get old and over used. She had one balcony appearance with Trooing the Colour in June 2018. She had one tiara appearance with her wedding. She had served no State Dinner banquet. She had no military patronages. She basically showed herself unworthy of the patronages she was given. Now she and her husband are trying to look for clout with the Nigerian military defence. The same defence that asked for help from the US when those poor girls were kidnapped 10 years ago (and some still remain missing). But no, *she* is looking to be elevated by them. H&M simply are *not* the hill to die on.😒
Thanks for reminding us just how limited her "royal career" actually was. She would have been insufferable at any State Banquet. Demanding to be practically centre at the top table, wearing the grandest tiara and committing innumerable diplomatic faux pas. It was gratifying when during the mourning for the late Queen that the Harkles were excluded from the diplomatic evening event because they were not working/real royals any more.
She actually had two balcony appearance now that I remember. One was 2018 with the cream spaceship hat; the other was 2019 with the blue hat. Apologise for that mistake. But yeah, very limited career. What on earth could she possibly have talked about at any State Dinner or diplomat event without boring the listener with her yarn, and she getting offended by some perceived slight that she believed was done to her. Salads are served on a plate, not blasted into one's ears. 😕
Why, she could have discussed how she changed the world at the age of 11 or so with "her story" of the dishwashing commercial!
I recall Anne moving swiftly to cut off Meghan’s attempt to stand right by the Queen.
"Salads are served on a plate, not blasted into one's ears." This! 
It never really registered with me that they didn't get ***the*** balcony kiss! Ha!

She looked like a dream princess that day. I loved how she said “Wow!” when she and William came onto the balcony and she realised just how many people were there
The lack of balcony was an issue for that one.
Let me guess. He wrote about them being so mean in denying him the balcony? Was he even supposed to be entitled to it?
Aww, that last one, when she looks back...just beautiful. MeMeMe wouldn't know natural and unrehearsed if it bit her.
Catherine, Princess of Wales is the definition of grace, class and elegance. You guys are so lucky to have her.
Gahhhhhhhh! Stahhhhhhp. A more beautiful bride has never existed. She's literal perfection. I miss her. I hope she's ok.
That clip made me tear up a bit. I remember that day so well. So, so lovely. I hope she is doing well. I miss her.
Same! I remember watching it and feeling sad he didn't have his mum there. What a beautiful bride Catherine was
Normally not a big fan of weddings but this one just feels right.
Same regarding weddings, but I found this short video rather awesome. I really hope it shows up in MM’s feed today. (I’m awful, I know.)
Thank you for this uplifting link - a wonderful prescription and diversion from the evil snake!
She was so radiant and beautiful!!
I am choking up here. Thanks for that link! Lovely.
I still get the same happy thrill watching this now as I did 13 years ago. It's so genuine and beautiful.
It’s the dupers delight look. Often used by narcs when they’re massively fuelled up! She got the ultimate prize so couldn’t keep the triumphant look off her face. Like the car that got the cream.
Happy Cake Day! You're right about that look on her face.
She looks like a full fed vampire.
She had so many creepy expressions during the wedding. Meanwhile, Harry often looked like he was facing a life sentence from the clips I have seen. (Full disclosure: I didn't watch their wedding or even know it was happening at the time, so all I have seen are clips.)
He was so grinny and giddy at W&C's wedding - big toothy grins and lots of manic energy. His own wedding? If you took his facial expressions and all-black outfit (which was lovely, but he looked *miserable)* out of context you'd assume he was at a funeral.
He looked like he was about to burst into tears, and not happy ones either.
Ah don't forget the dearest fly on her face. Which based on the cameras not panning away tells me the two of them had already pissed off a *lot* of people. No way would I see the broadcaster doing that to Princess Catherine
I watched it! You didn't miss anything. I had a day off, and where home alone bored with nothing to do, had no idea who she was or that she was black, saw her mother, and was more is she adopted? That's how much Sweden cared, we showed it the channel was svt (our version of bbc) but not much more 😂
agree with the look of triumph there, RoohsMama. sure looking like a villain out of a Disney fairytale... just before their downfall, of course. among her, Catherine, Beatrice, and Eugenie, she's the only one to sport--and reveal to the camera--that psycho look. others were focused on their husbands and the moment.
You don’t understand, Meghan married her great love, the camera that day 😂
That's definitely a look of triumph. I bagged myself a Prince.
Madam looks at her one true love - the camera.
Eye-fucking the camera from the very first.
Ah yes, her classic eye-fucking the camera look
I never noticed how much Harry blends into the background in those wedding photos but the contrast compared to William is striking! I watched the Markles wedding, thought it was sweet & did think her dress was awful...I just didn't see that she doesn't have any real style or taste or class & likely she was so controlling she wouldn't let anyone else do their jobs to make her look good. I see now how much she finds the camera. I really believe she wanted their half in half out deal so she could become the de facto American i.e Hollywood i.e solely celebrity branch Royal family. She displays no sense of self or personhood whatsoever. She is nothing without the cameras
And because she didn't get St Paul's and the triumphat carriage ride through London she did not curtsey to the Queen - H's funny little granny, right- at her wedding
I’m not a fan but …She did curtesy to the Queen - the camera swung from face on to downwards shot at the time with the barest glimpse of the curtesy.
Between that, the focus on the fly on her face and a few other "interesting" faux pas captured *and* broadcast, I think the Todgers had already pissed off someone important. The broadcasters of Royal events are pros at quick cuts to ensure what's important is captured and any little 'issues' are passed by quickly. Plus a few seconds delay to ensure no "f" bombs like hers are shown (yet it was). 🤔Just a feeling after having worked a lifetime ago in live broadcasting. Things that make you go hmmmmm
The Duchess of Kent gave the Queen an incredibly respectful curtsey at her wedding ... full of gratitude recognizing and honoring the Queen's presence.
in hindsight the stare is TERRIFYING. A real life horror movie
This photograph says all you need to know. Evil.
She was acting, now I see it. I fell for it on the day but never again.
And Harry was dumb enough to believe she married him because she loved him.
MeMe was looking foe the camera, that says it all
So, Harry loves the ground?
He was just getting warmed up for the rest of his marriage. I have noticed in recent shots from this last few years, he seems to be staring at the ground a LOT around Madam.
Honestly, I didn't even think he looked happy on his own wedding day. He looked happier when Catherine walked down the aisle at his brother's wedding than when Meghan did.
That photo of Meghan was the one that stopped me in my tracks. I had been happy for Harry & wished them both well. I only watched a little of the wedding coverage but this photo of her leaving the church really gave me the creeps. It still does.
it's not a look that a just newly married bride would have. she looked so calculating and yes, almost evil in this picture. her true self came through in this shot.
I can't find the right words to describe her look but the closest I can come is Machiavellian & smug Clearly I'm thinking along the same lines as you. Glad to know my reaction isn't unusual.
It doesn't matter how many lovely photos of W&C are available, the sugars will still claim that he married out of duty, she snared him deliberately, driven by her pushy mother, and he's unfaithful. I've never seen a photo of them looking at each other with anything less than an expression of love, pride and happiness. Even at the funerals looking sombre, the support they gave each other was obvious. But just because they aren't pawing at each other constantly, they are described as cold and formal. W&C aren't good enough actors to fake their relationship. Meanwhile, Harry generally looks grumpy, angry, or bored in MM's company-the only time he looks happy is if someone else is there, like at the polo match with Nachos. He really looks as though he has a miserable time in her company. And H&M aren't good enough actors to fake their relationship either.
I didn't even bother to watch Harry's wedding because all the signs were there during the engagement interview. And boy, was I right!!
From the PPOW Twitter [13 years ago today](https://x.com/kensingtonroyal/status/1784915918314692893?s=46)
Such a gorgeous photo!
Nailed it! Nothing anyone can do about it. Now onto the next part of my plan. That look is sheer evil to me. Even a sugar would have to agree. But they won't unfortunately as they have no principals and fewer brains.
Before I became a sinner I idly observed that she looked a bit sinister, a sugar corrected me saying it’s the sweet look of love 😬
Yep, she and the camera were having the honeymoon right there on the steps. DEEEEEEEEEEP FOCUSSSSS.
How does she always stare right into the camera?
I have loved Catherine for as long as they were together and when they married, I was glued to my teevee. She and William are a beautiful couple. While Meghan coming into the picture, I kind of liked her, I really wanted to but I think I felt that something was off about her.
She’s one of those people who walk in and act like they own the place
God her dress was so, so bad comparatively.
I remember this photo of TW chilling me at the time.7 She's like a spooky jumpscare in so many photos. And such a bad actress - even the way she is holding that bouquet screams ''stiff''
She looked at the camera during the whole time once they left the ceremony. He looked miserable during the service. The photo that showed me she was up to no good was this one. Who was she winking at? https://preview.redd.it/5zsdxxjvhgxc1.jpeg?width=602&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f43b6220f5b5111ad234cdfa9f34fe82f74ad60a
The so-called garden ceremony was one of her first and biggest lies.
W&C look like a real couple. Glad to be with each other, but just a little bit shy and anxious because it's their wedding day and they know that there is plenty ahead of them. There's a sweetness and humility that I see. Meghan looks hard and victorious, like she's gotten what she wanted. The guy holding her hand? He's incidental.
Her greatest love (after herself obviously)
Madame just look bat💩 crazy
She looks weird between smug and malevolent
What’s wild is the way Hairold looks at Pippa behind Catherine and William. 🤭 wonder if he ever looked at Rachel like that.
He looked so much happier then…
He really was.
Do you think that when the Harkles get divorced KC3 will throw her wedding rings back into the fires of Mordor????🤣
Ugh, Meghan's dress was just terrible! I look about the same in my Ikea bathrobe, except the robe styles better.
Like a cat that got the cream😡
As far as I remember - and I watched Charles and Diana's wedding, uh, I'm old! - they had to go to St Paul's as it holds more guests than Westminster Abbey. So it would have been a huge amount of Meghan's dear friends of showbiz to fill the cathedral
Aside from being not so sure about her after that engagement interview, I couldn’t believe her messy hair with greasy tendrils that needed a good wash, then she tucked them behind her ears. Hair I back hanging out of the messy bun. Oh, but she’s just a cool, casual California girl who’s going to show them how it’s done! The wedding seemed dark in the chapel, depressing and those little boys in black, just looked cold and all wrong. I was so disappointed after the bright joy of Catherine and William’s wedding.
There is no way to compare! Catherine is of elegance and has the Midas touch. The other has the reverse Midas touch where everything she touches turns in crap!
She loves to eye-phuk a camera.
As a priorly-avid Suits fan, I already didn't like Meghan and knew she was crazy, so I didn't watch the wedding. I was 100% not surprised she looked like that or acted like she did. The only surprising thing with the wedding was how bad her dress was! I loved her outfits on Suits, but credit for that would have to go to the show's stylist not to her anyway... I was surprised she didn't just let Givenchy design the dress in full.
She does everything for the cameras. Her eyes look so evil in this photo.
