Keeping up with the Markles

The arguments over whether they were allowed to run for office would be interesting too. I've just had a look at the USA constitutional requirements for their president and it doesn't explicitly rule it out even for their highest office. It's not really covered, though I'm sure the writers would have vehemently objected to it if they weren't long dead. But when it comes to legal matters in the USA, the written word of their constitution carries a lot of weight.

As I understand it, to run for President of the U.S.A., you have to be either a natural born citizen of the U.S.A., or a citizen at the time of the adoption of the U.S. Constitution, which was 1787, so that’s going to rule out anyone less than 230 years old.
In addition, the candidate for President must be 35 years of age, and a U.S. resident for 14 years, (presumably consecutively).

Well there kid will be a natural born US citizen if she keeps her citizenship and presumably if making a career out of politics he/she will have to spend time in the US campaigning for say local government, the senate etc... before making a run for the presidency.

The child of a USA citizen is a natural born citizen of the USA, even if they are born outside of the USA.
A child of theirs is very likely to live to at least 35 years old.
A child of theirs could be resident in the USA, since they would be a USA citizen. It doesn't actually state "consecutively", so I don't think that point is settled.

So it's maybe sort of possible that it could happen.

Could we end up reliving history? Harry Jnr takes over as American president, is crowned king of the UK, raises taxes which are then funnelled to the UK as international aid to help us pay for debts accrued as part of the "Brexit Wars" vs France and Spain.

Stories to fit the mindset of their readers obviously. If it's not controversial and intruding on privacy and past then its a waste of space.

Don't forget that DM has a very high level of female readership, over 50% IIRC. For some strange reason, Women do seem to like nonsense like that....

LOL

I guess that is one friendship that isn't going to be reconciled/one former best friend who is definitely off the guest list - blabbing all to the press is a pretty low thing for the former friend to do even if they are no longer talking

Sure if she did have a Diana book and was super excited to be able to visit the palace when on holiday in London then that does make her comments about not knowing much about him a bit dodgy... and of course the way the friend has sold that story about the ex-husband and how he got rather unceremoniously dumped because of the long distance thing when she became famous because of the TV show Suits yet she's then marrying someone else, albeit a much higher status person, who lives a very long distance away and quitting Suits for him is a bit dubious too (again though if it actually even is as the bitter former friend is portraying it). It is all just gossip though - maybe it is true, maybe it isn't - it isn't really anything in the public interest, it is stuff that ought to be private
 
Didn't think it was possible for DM to get any more embarrassing. :P

About time that the royals got with the times, I mean how much longer could they only marry internally before webbed feet were a real possibility. :D
Just wish the media would back off and report on something meaningful other than harass peoples personal life - worse are the people who feel entitled to know about it.
 
Noticed that a date has now been set....

Saturday 19th May 2018

Unlikely to get an extra day off I guess so will console myself with the whiskey tour of Speyside I'll be doing that week.

Hardly. Harry and Meghan advised they won't be returning as working Royals so they automatically lose their titles and benefits. It's different from being "stripped" of them.

Would you expect to keep your company car if you left your job?

They get to keep the HRH, Duke and Duchess titles though dont they? (Not that I think they should, if they arent active Royals then they should lose the titles imo, though I'd bet they would be firmly against losing those)
