Hidden swat teams surveying constantly, every layered ring of security to the perimeter secured is standard operating procedures these days, especially for high risk targets that happen to be Royal. They have some documentaries available on how that works, particularly some showing the immense and intense security provided for the P.O.T.U.S. these days. surfer girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03655593111136213050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523822918879524553.post-4770381604749765802018-05-05T21:54:57.254+01:002018-05-05T21:54:57.254+01:00I think dear half-brother expected MM to be subser...I think dear half-brother expected MM to be subservient to him always because she's a girl, she's younger, and she had an African American mother.

Aside from being a just uber Joyous occasion (our dear, sweet, and fun Harry is getting married❤️), this Royal wedding is so helpful on so many levels such as fortifying the Monarchy (continuing Royal protocols/traditions and displaying Royal Grandeur, that unparalleled-on-earth Pomp and Pagentry), promoting tourism and unabashed Royal consumerism, lol. And, it gets big pictures in the books of history. And, more importantly, it has introduced a bi-racial woman into their heretofore more exclusive Royal fold. A huge accomplishment for the Monarchy. Diana must be so happy. 🎉<br />As Harry said, “It is a big deal”. Yahweh bless them, protect them and guide them in His paths always.🤵👰🏻<br /><br />Only two weeks away. “a fortnight”. 😊<br />(I am sooooo excited.)<br />surfer girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03655593111136213050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523822918879524553.post-3272262538757786032018-05-05T19:01:27.448+01:002018-05-05T19:01:27.448+01:00I know Marcia, she is going through a character as...I know Marcia, she is going through a character assassination for saying yes to Harry as if Harry was a married man.

I am big on hospitality, to the point of sometimes perhaps overdoing it (if there is such a thing), as my family will be all too ready to tell you, lol. <br />And it was my understanding that they had invited 1,600 guests who have shown leadership and ultruism. And they will be outside. I think that number is correct. 200 of those people will be allowed right outside the church and Harry and Meghan will do a meet and greet with them.<br />The rest along the way are not invited guests but allowed-access persons. surfer girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03655593111136213050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523822918879524553.post-88983481025572336272018-05-05T18:59:06.311+01:002018-05-05T18:59:06.311+01:00Surfer Girl, JFK was,assassinated with all "f...Surfer Girl, JFK was,assassinated with all "fort knox" security like you said, so I'm still<br />worried.

Firstly the necessarily limited number invited to the actual wedding and the reception in St George's Hall. Then those invited to the evening function, presumably with supper provided. Then because it is more difficult to access the Castle grounds than The Mall in London, the royal couple decided to invite representatives of some selected groups to stand outside the Chapel.There will also be many more people outside the walls on the carriage route who will be there to get a look at the royal couple. The British public are used to this sort of thing and will not be expecting to be fed.

No one is forcing them to participate or using them for PR. Trust and believe that some of those folks lining the Walk who have been camping out for days in advance would happily take their place to be that up close and personal to see the couple come out of the church.<br /><br />Edward and Sophie invited 4x that amount of people to stand outside their wedding and not a peep was heard about them starving or maltreating anyone. <br /><br />So interesting how some will jump on any trumped up reason to critisize Harry and Meghan (especially Meghan) for anything they do and hold them to a much higher standard than those who have done the same exact thing.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14084161615726255055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523822918879524553.post-29680968942775166342018-05-05T00:03:52.904+01:002018-05-05T00:03:52.904+01:00Anonymous @ 22:57.

We didn't have the complete TV coverage inside the Chapel here in New Zealand so I had presumed that it wasn't televised.I haven't found it on Youtube or any other site either. Incidentally I was living in London when Princess Margaret was married at Westminster Abbey and was amazed that lots of people were not interested. I taught school there and most of the local children had never visited the Mall or seen Buckingham Palace, let alone any of the Royal Family. We should have been expecting the present kerfuffle I suppose and every little embarrassing fact or fiction will turn up in certain papers and magazine. A few weeks ago when I was standing in the checkout line in the supermarket, I saw a magazine with their photograph on the cover and a headline about them expecting a baby!! That is the ultimate in mischief making. No wonder Harry had trouble persuading his previous girlfriends that life with him would be worth all the fuss. Just consider how Lady Gabrielle Windsor must be feeling about her ex boyfriend's description of their relationship. Some people have no shame! William and Harry and their partners have been putting up with this for years. If Meghan's father is a retiring sort of person and doesn't like the limelight it must be making it very difficult for him. I wish the Couple all the best for a Happy Day and hopefully, fine weather.Annette New Zealandnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523822918879524553.post-88985209314120027062018-05-04T22:25:20.585+01:002018-05-04T22:25:20.585+01:00Obviously, Meghan's "noise" is Harry...Obviously, Meghan's "noise" is Harry's boom-crash-roar.

Think about it. Kensington Palace is the abode of at least 7 people who are in succession to the throne of England. That place is uber secured for sure. Fort Knox has nothing on Kensington Palace. Kensington Palace no doubt has loads of security that we are not aware of and can’t see, much more than a single guard house and traffic barriers. <br />And, to put things in perspective, since the Queen is the head of the military, Harry and Meghan have the entire British military at their beck and call should it ever be necessary. And, they have Scotland Yard and MI5 assets and resources available to them if need be. And they may all already be on high alert due to the racial tensions concerning Meghan. The Queen has some clout and is making sure Harry and Meghan are securely taken care of.<br />I am sure that Thomas, Jr.’s and Samantha Grant’s names have been put on the alert list. <br />I am sure that the whereabouts of both of them, particularly Thomas, Jr., are top on the security agenda. It isn’t the security teams first rodeo. 😉surfer girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03655593111136213050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523822918879524553.post-3563292397562927892018-05-04T10:43:16.873+01:002018-05-04T10:43:16.873+01:00Meghan's half-siblings have behaved so poorly ...Meghan's half-siblings have behaved so poorly with the things they said about her.

Nope. <br /><br />But anyway, it's Harry and Meghan's day and they should not feel obligated to invited anyone, be it family, politicians, friends etc. They should invite whomever they feel comfortable inviting.
