I'm rather anti-royal, but this kind of stuff is really fun. Who's going to watch?

I'm not royalist but I like certain royals. I know Harry made some mistakes in the past but he lost his Mother at a young age so was hurting & needed someone to listen to & guide him & he's made up for his past bad behaviour. I liked Princess Di for what she did. I watched Prince William's wedding. I will watch some of the wedding but as T.V. coverage starts @ 9 & the wedding itself doesn't start until dinner-time I'm not going to watch the entire run-up to it. I've watched snippets of the preparations & think the horses leading the parade are very beautiful.

Well, I thought it was fun. And the "American-ness" that snuck in was interesting.

I watched people arriving then did other things & switched back on just after the 1st hymn. I thought that the American vicar made a very passionate & well-thought out speech & I joined in with the choirs version of stand by me. I watched the vows & rings being exchanged but was waiting patiently for the words "you may kiss the bride" to be said & the kiss. I got as far as watching the music being played while the register was signed & haven't watched anymore. I'm sure I'll see snippets on the news later. I enjoyed it.

I saw a cutaway to Serena and her husband at the wedding. Now we know why she really withdrew from Rome. ;-):

I watched a bit... mainly because my wife was watching. I'm not anti-royal, I think the net benefit to the British Economy outweighs the negatives. Meghan looked stunning. Serena scrubbed up pretty well too.

I watched the news to see bits of the wedding I wanted to see but missed & I managed to see the brides-maids & page-boys, Harry going to his reception in horse-drawn carriage & the kiss. I love the horses & the horse-drawn parade escorting them.

Serena looked great. Meghan was really radiant. Nice frock. Did you see me standing next to George Clooney in the mustard-yellow hat?

After Harry said "I will" to the question of being faithful to Meghan, did you notice that everyone laughed including Harry and Meghan.

I loved the yellow outfits best as yellow is my favourite normal colour as my other favourites are gold & silver. I also liked the choir-girls dress with gems on.

I didn't watch it - why would I when the weather was so lovely? I'm not really interested in royalty. I played a bit of very poor tennis before an early lunch then slept until the FA Cup Final. But a friend told me about the super black preacher and so I found a clip of his sermon on YouTube - I think he was a culture shock for a lot of the more conservative/conventional guests.

I didn't watch it all as it was on too long. I watched the preparations on the news the night before, the arrival of some guests around 9 & some between noon & 1 o'clock which showed the 1st hymn, speech by the American preacher, vows & ring-sharing, them going to sign the register & the choirs rendition of stand by me. I missed the kiss. I only like certain royals. It sounds like you had fun.

Can't believe Harry married a mediocre divorcee, when he could've married a beautiful young virgin girl. Markle can't believe her luck. Shame. She doesn't have the class or poise of Middleton or Diana. I hope Queen Elizabeth disowns Harry for soiling the royal family.

Harry is carrying that infantile rebel streak for a long time now plus he's not good looking and was always ignored by the media for the real prince ie William. And this stupid rebel streak he carries, he went and married an ugly looking instagram attention whore divorcee who can't believe her luck.

My heart still cries for Diana, god is she missed or what. In a way I'm glad she isn't alive to watch this farce. Harry has brought the royal family great disrepute and I hope he gets cast out of the family.

Prince Harry has done a lot for charity. I don't think Meghan is ugly. You only have to look at how happy they are together & how they can't take their hands or eyes off each other to see that they are made for each other.

Mine too. I'm not. I wish she was alive to see her Grandchildren & I don't think it's Harry who brought the royal family into disrepute but his Father. I don't think Prince Charles should have been allowed to divorce Diana never mind marry Camilla & I definitely don't think he should be King. I hate Camilla. Actually, I watched a T.V. programme recently that said Prince Charles went out with Diana's elder sister 1st therefore I don't think he should have married Diana in the 1st place. I'd never go out with someone my Sister used to go out with never mind marry him but that's just me. There are a few members of the family I think should be cast out but family bonds are strong. Families stick together through thick & thin or should do anyway. I know Prince Harry isn't innocent but he has done a lot to make up for his wrong-doing & has done a lot for charity so I think he should be forgiven especially as he lost his Mother early & didn't have her guidance. We're all human. We all make mistakes & learn from them. We should be allowed to make things right. We all have flaws too.

Don't even get me started on Charles, he's a whole another level of awful, but he's a prince so what can we do? But this was exactly why Harry had the chance to redeem his family and elevate himself as a STRONG MAN of the royal family but he married a gold digger divorcee. Shocking and sad.

You have to understand WHY Diana was SO great and why she was from another planet. It is because she was born out of nobility and from an early age sincerly helped the ailing. A true goddess not from earth. When she left us, it was one of the greatest, probably THE greatest loss to humanity and western culture.

The great Chanakya rightly said, never marry above or below you, marry at YOUR LEVEL for happiness and prosperity!

In hindi we would say - Prince Harry ne apne ghar ka naam mitti me mila diya!
