Well i never

[#3]

I did... twice

[#4]

Only twice? Didn't you like it?

[#5]

 Princess Henry of Wales? doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

What fascinates me more is royal divorces and the reasons.

Everyday folks marriages often break down because of money and mortgage problems and looking after the kids.

Something all royals seem exempt from.

[#7]

Can't say royal divorces or the reasons fascinates me but they clearly show that having plenty of money and access to the best food, health care and the rest are no guarantee of a happy or lasting marriage.

I suspect constant publicity, being followed everywhere and cameras pushed in your face at regular intervals do not help matters, something us lesser mortals do not have to contend with.

Although I am a monarchist (apologies in advance to republicans), I am totally uninterested in what Harry or any other member of the royal family do, so it looks like I'll have to avoid the news for the next month.

But it will mean a extra bank holiday next year

@rongtw makes no difference to me, I'm retired.

I don't think she will be a princess. As a commoner I think she will become a duchess.

Harry isn't Prince of Wales. That title belongs to his father, Charles.

Totally uninterested in the Royals, though Harry has always seemed the most 'normal' out the bunch and adding some diversity to their gene pool can't be a bad thing
