I found that a lot of stuff produced about Kate before her wedding and after didn't have much substance or had mostly news that had already been reported. People were still making money on the "empty" productions, and that most likely was their primary goal.

Meghan's father's lineage meets up with Harry's going back to 1480 to a Bowes, making her father's lineage and that of the Queen Mum intertwined, and not just barely. There's even the Bowe's estates and Streatlam Castle involved, apparently. Not to mention a very pretty coat of arms through Meghan's grandfather, Gordon Markle's ancestor, who had the last name of Merkel (1630-1698) from Alsace. (I forget Mr. Merkel's first name at the moment. [Sorry Mr. Merkel], I will add that later.) Mr. Merkel's (and now Meghan's, if she wants it) coat of arms is a beautiful blue with a golden feather in the middle and two pretty golden fleur-de-lis placed perfectly on either side of the feather. Very fitting for Meghan, I think. :) I do wish the Daily Mail had included more information on Mr. Merkel though. Hopefully that historical info will surface soon. :) Markle, Merkel, hmmm. :)<br /><br />There is a very clear and concise family tree diagramming the Markle/Bowes' lineage in the Daily Mail article listed below. <br /><br />The Daily Mail, "Harry and Meghan are Cousins....",<br />Markus Scriven, 10/28/17<br />surfer girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03655593111136213050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523822918879524553.post-37741212709056867952017-10-29T16:12:45.941+00:002017-10-29T16:12:45.941+00:00I read somewhere that Katie Nichols told Entertain...I read somewhere that Katie Nichols told Entertainment Tonight that she expects an engagement announcement to happen in the new year.

On second thought, before you spend an hour of your time watching what Katie Nichols has put together on Channel 4, perhaps you might want to read Rupert Hawksley's very, very nicely done review on the program.

So much so that I'm not even going to watch it. <br /><br />The Telegraph, "What a Load of Nonsense, When Harry Met Meghan, Royal Romance, a Review", <br />Rupert Hawksley, 10/28/17. surfer girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03655593111136213050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523822918879524553.post-12001589433568755892017-10-28T23:32:41.532+01:002017-10-28T23:32:41.532+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.bluharehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02563914197602351523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523822918879524553.post-48641045659385717152017-10-27T19:04:38.160+01:002017-10-27T19:04:38.160+01:00Acting jobs won't fly, IMO.

We'd gone to Trooping the Colour the previous Saturday. I've been hoping my next trip in the Spring would coincide with a royal wedding, but with Prince/ss #3 due at that time, I'm sure the wedding won't be scheduled until the baby is a couple months old at least so Kate has time to get her shape back (not that she needs it!) So perhaps a June wedding. Well at least my trip will coincide, hopefully, with the baby's birth.

For the Queen's birthday celebrations, I got to the spot (right next to the Mall) at about 8am, the carriage procession was scheduled for 10:30 and I managed to get an excellent spot, in only the 2nd row with a really good view as the people in front of me were 1) very friendly , 2) shorter than me :). We spent most of the time chatting, encouraging each other and taking turns in standing/sitting. I recommend a rug - I didn't have one but I used a copy of a newspaper instead and my kind neighbours from Australia let me use their rug, too. As the time was approaching the mood was getting incredible - people were so excited! Whenever something/someone appeared in the direction of B. Palace we all got even more thrilled. Then there were all the soldiers, marching bands, lovely horses, and finally , the carriages!!!!! People were waving flags, shouting, cheering... one carriage after another and in the last one, which was preceded by the Royal Guard, HM and Prince Philip. A dream come true! I texted home: "I've just seen the Queen!" and couldn't believe it. :) Zora from Praguenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523822918879524553.post-67962629858441231402017-10-25T18:52:55.914+01:002017-10-25T18:52:55.914+01:00IMO, the Queen has favored low-key celebrations fo...IMO, the Queen has favored low-key celebrations for financial reasons although of her sons have other ideas). <br /><br />This *may* be related to an engagement announcement, but in reality there is room for both occasions in the month of November.
