I hadn't heard the news. Seems that we in the US are more interested in this than the Brits. I knew he was mad about some movie/tv star and he has been telling the press to lay off. I'm not a fan of Hollywood stars as they usually are phony and shallow. I have never heard of her but I haven't heard of most of them.
He must see something in her. Maybe somehow she reminds him of his mother? I don't know why she'd want to give up her freedom and her career for a lifetime of public duties and always being scrutinized for her public behavior. Maybe they're simply in love. He seems so wild though. Can he settle on one person for life?
I worry about her degree of celebrity and that she might be shallow and unworthy of marrying into royalty.
.
I just broke the news to my dh who is English and he said, "Who the bloody hell cares?" ...they should get jobs like everyone else and work for a living instead of living off the taxpayers' money.
But I've always been a royal watcher and always wished we could see more of it.
As for what the OP said about this resembling the messy scandal with King Edward and "that woman", no, nothing like that. Harry will never be king anyway. And "that woman" was vile. They had a somewhat bizarre, sick relationship, from what I've read.
Some of her former partners stand to earn a fortune if they cash in on a kiss and tell.
And she does look like she been round the block a time or two.
I dunno,I wish them well but you wonder whether Harry was just keen to get a move on with his older brother already onto his third kid.

This woman has no business marrying into the Royal Family. Is there a dearth of qualified European and Commonwealth aristocrats? I think we are witnessing the apex of the Kardashianisation of the Royal Family.
I think the behavior of the Royal Family aside from Queen Elizabeth II, and to a certain extent Prince William, is troubling. I think that the prospect of Prince Charles, a divorced adulterer, married to a divorced woman, becoming head of the Church of England is extremely troubling.
I realize that the Church of England was founded in part because of the nonsense surrounding King Henry VIII's marriage, but the decline of the moral authority of the future 'Defenders of the Faith' is extremely disheartening for church watchers. The Church of England is becoming more of a joke by the day, and that is in no small part due to the behavior of the Royal Family. They are not living up to their responsibilities of representing Christian values.
I am also very alarmed at the Queen's apparently blasé attitude towards her grandson's marriage to a divorced woman, a woman of little pedigree and a tabloid personality. This is the same woman who refused her sister's marriage to Peter Townsend. This is the same woman who apprehensively approved her son's marriage to Camilla. The whole thing is a train wreck. Incidents like this remind me of the virtues of republican values and my revolutionary forefathers. It also has me thankful that I am not Episcopalian/Anglican like much of my family.

You forgot to mention mixed-race. I'm sure you're thinking it.
