Hoyaheel 1,874 Report post Posted April 27, 2018 It's a 7 am start for me, which is luckily very doable for me. Same here! I'll just make sure the tv is on whatever channel will be airing it and I can always rewind when I get up if I need to.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoyaheel 1,874 Report post Posted April 27, 2018 Reading back trying to remember what title I thought the Queen would give Will & Kate - didn't find it. I really don't remember what I thought. Gloucester? Lainey guessing/wishing what title she'll give Harry & Megan. No way it'll be Windsor. The Queen learned her hatred of That Woman at her mother's side.....http://www.laineygossip.com/prince-harrys-private-secretary-ed-lane-fox-stepping-down-ahead-of-royal-wedding/49740 Did anyone see The Royal Wives at War? I think it was on BBCAmerica or Smithsonian channel here in the US. It was a docudrama - interviews with biographers & journalists interspersed with acted bits. Just the sort of thing I love. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoyaheel 1,874 Report post Posted April 27, 2018 Page Six is using Duchess of Sussex. Mistake or early tip-off? https://pagesix.com/2018/04/26/meghan-markles-royal-wedding-overshadows-her-suits-nuptials/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dixiedoodah 1,003 Report post Posted April 27, 2018 I think Sussex is generally assumed to be the title they will get. I remember a while back (maybe around the time of the engagement) reading something about how most of the other dukedoms that are available are in some way tainted. Bad luck, bad vibes, bad history. So I think this is just the general assumption at this point. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoyaheel 1,874 Report post Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) I still like Gloucester. I think the last was one of the current Queen's uncles? Or maybe one generation before that. Early 20th century. Off to look! ETA Damn so wrong, there is one now. (I read a book about Bertie, Queen Victoria's son, Prince of Wales - such a good book!

So I think this is just the general assumption at this point. I remember reading that at Will & Kate's engagement - there were maybe 3-4 options that were "acceptable" - open, not tainted. Hadn't seen the same articles this time around, though.... Hmm - Wikipedia says that the Queen told Harry he'd be Sussex the same time she created Cambridge for Will.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_of_Sussex Edited April 27, 2018 by Hoyaheel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Her spawn were all over the world!!! I also want to read something by Lady Colin Campbell - she's one who was interviewed quite a bit on a couple of the docudrama histories I've seen - she's done bios of the Queen Mother and others. She seems quite a character ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
