Yes, I hope so too.

They're both older so you'd think there would be a good chance it will all work out.

I was just thinking how times have changed, haven't they!!

Diana not only had to be single, the right religion, but also a virgin. (though the same standards apparently didn't apply to Charles).

Going back further, a former king gave up the throne in order to marry a divorcee. (and England did a lot better for the swap, I think)

Now here we are with a divorced woman, from USA, with some African American heritage, marrying into the royal family.

It's great that Harry has the freedom to choose whoever he likes.

Margaret also was greatly encouraged the marry the "right" person   ..... from memory it ended in divorce 

[springyzone]

Yes, you're right. Her life wasn't a fairytale, poor woman.

If it were today - Margaret could marry Townsend - the love of her life.

But at the time divorced.

Married Snowdon - divorced.

All those lives - spoilt - for what - an income for Britain - they are the main attraction.

Stupid really - all those rules - which are now - DEFUNCT.

The Firm. LOL.

The breed is interesting - can weigh up to 30 lbs.

That is 3 times my Scottish Terrier - sheesh.

Saw Liz - the Queen Mum - Windsor Castle.

She from head to toe - yellow - with numerous corgis at her feet - following.

A very loyal breed.

Liked the doggys - couldn't tell where the fabric began or ended - just all yellow. - with Mum.
