Crowds gather for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's glittering marriage ceremony

[thaibeachlovers]

Oh Lordy, now they are having tv debates as to whether Harry marrying a half black woman is going to change race relations in the UK. Must be a slow news week, or something.

 

Never mind, it'll all be forgotten soon, as the media turns to the up coming Trump visit to the UK.

I'll give their marriage five years tops.  Harry seems desperate and insecure.  Not sure what's going on in his head but he's sure as hell spending my money on his whim.

 

Actually he is not spending your money but don't let facts get in the way of a rant will you.

Public money was used for the security, at a time they have reduced the police forces below what they need to do their job.

Firstly, I know this is slightly OT, but I wouldn't know where better to post, so if a mod wants to move it, that's fine.

 

I was interested in the car the couple left in, specifically the registration. From what I can see, it doesn't seem to be any format I can recognise as a UK registration?

(I assume the EU country-code to the left of the registration says GB, it's not absolutely clear to me?)

The numbers are the date: 19-05-18

Right, I missed the obvious there! What might be the 'E', I wonder?

 

So it wasn't going to be driven on a public highway? I saw the clip and thought they were going away somewhere, but more than likely it was only going to be within the Windsor Castle estate then?

It takes two to make a marriage work, and yes Harry's fooled around, but they have a lot in common, particularly the support of good causes, and Harry loves children.

E - for electric.

This tells all;

"The couple travelled from Windsor Castle to Frogmore House in a silver blue Jaguar E-Type Concept Zero. The number plate was E19 05 18, marking their wedding date. 

This vehicle was originally manufactured in 1968, and has since been converted to electric power."

 

No doubt the TVF miseryguts will find something to complain about with it.

Of course it was, in exactly the same manner as it is used at football matches every week, at every public demonstration, as it has been at the Ecudoran embassy for years to make sure that Assange cannot escape and countless other times.

I gave them 5 years at the time, but according to the February 18th NZ Woman's Day magazine, it's already falling apart, Seems she doesn't like royal protocol and likes spending large on designer clothes.

Poor Harry.
