[Blind Gossip] One American actress is sending an entire foreign family into a tizzy!
This very famous and very rich foreign man is talking about proposing marriage to his girlfriend.
No, he has not purchased a ring yet. Right now he is just floating the idea to his family. The only problem? They are uniformly pushing back on his choice of a bride!
He fancies her quite a bit. Unfortunately, there is not a single member of the family who is encouraging the match!
His father is warning him that “a woman who is dramatic will be a problem.” [His brother] is telling him that he “is still young and has scads of time” to settle down.
Surprisingly, [his brother’s wife] has abstained from critiquing [the actress] directly. However, she has cautioned [her husband] that she thinks that [the actress] is “an opportunist” who “will do or say or be anything she has to” in order to make the marriage happen. She also thinks that he is “too smitten to be making good decisions right now.”
The biggest influence on everyone, though, will be [his grandmother]. She has seen how one bad apple can place the entire family and their legacy in turmoil. She is encouraging both [father] and [brother] to “discourage” his choice as “unsuitable.”
The relationship is not a long one, so it will be interesting to see if the man will give it some time before making such a life-altering (and history-altering?) decision.

[Optional] Does family opinion matter when choosing a spouse?
SOLVED!
Man: Prince Harry
Actress: Meghan Markle
Well, it looks like everyone in the British Royal Family is going to have to untizzy themselves, because Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are engaged!
Prince Harry knew that Meghan Markle was the right person for him from the first date. He started talking to his family about the possibility of proposing to her approximately a year ago (when we first published this blind item).
He had to get the whole family on board first. That took a year, culminating with a meeting between Markle and The Queen in September (see Vacation Ingratiation).
And now royal wedding bells will be ringing! From The Telegraph:
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle engaged: Royal knew fiancee was ‘the one’ from ‘very first time we met’
Prince Harry has said he knew his bride-to-be Meghan Markle was “the one” from the moment they met, as the couple made their first public appearance since the announcement of their engagement.
The Prince, 33, declared that he is “thrilled” as he and the 36-year-old American actress posed for an open-air photocall in the Sunken Garden at Kensington Palace.
Their long-anticipated engagement was announced by the Prince of Wales on Monday morning with a statement saying the couple, who have been dating for 16 months, will marry in the spring next year.
A beaming Ms Markle, in a white belted coat, clutched Harry’s hand with both of her hands as they posed briefly and showed off her diamond engagement ring – designed by the prince himself.
Harry revealed that he knew Ms Markle was “the one” from the first moment they met. “When did I know she was the one? Very first time we met,” the prince said.
The couple were smiling and giggling throughout their appearance.
When Harry was asked how he proposed, Ms Markle replied “Save that”, with Harry adding: “That will come later”.
Kensington Palace said the prince designed Ms Markle’s engagement ring himself – using two stones which belong to his late mother.
The two outside stones are diamonds from the personal collection of Diana, Princess of Wales.
At the centre is a diamond from Botswana, a country that holds special significance for Harry who has visited many times since he was a child.
The much-anticipated news was confirmed by the Prince of Wales in a brief statement issued by Clarence House.
It read: “His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales is delighted to announce the engagement of Prince Harry to Ms Meghan Markle.”
It revealed that the pair became engaged in London earlier this month.
“Prince Harry has informed Her Majesty the Queen and other close members of his family. Prince Harry has also sought and received the blessing of Ms Markle’s parents,” the statement said.
We’ll spare you the suspense of how he proposed to her. Here’s how it went down.
They were eating a chicken dinner.
He pulled out a ring.
She exclaimed, “Winner, winner, chicken dinner!”
Something like that.
Kudos to Buttersmom for being first with the correct response!
Congratulations to the happy couple!
research boy says
“Prince HARRY”?
My, how informal you’re being there, Charles, old bean. (Charles is so restrained by convention that his own friends don’t even call him “Charles”; “Sir” or “Wales” are the preferred forms of address.) Who’s the influence there, I wonder? Camilla?
(You’ll notice that the header properly refers to Harry as “Prince Henry”, his true name. It only gets all chummy in the body of the text.)
Bravo for Meghan. Deal with it, Windsors!
nap buddies says
Citing the 2013 Succession to the Crown Act, Harry would need The Queen’s approval unless he gives up his and his descendants right to the throne. There’s protocol, and there’s waiting. While Harry is old enough to make his own decisions, not even Margaret would give up all that for the man she loved until she died.
Mumumumu says
Harry and Meaghan. I hope she leaves him not because of him, he seems like a cool guy. It’s because his family are evil.
marinab says
Well considering Kate’s family encouraged her to go to St Andrews in the hope of snagging Prince William and then not working while waiting for him to propose she isn’t really one to talk.
Edward married Sophie a commoner who got in trouble due to a media sting after they married & Prince Michael married a divorcee & relinquished his place in line to the throne. Andrew is Air Miles Andy & his daughters are on permanent holidays so in comparison Megan seems ok.
judylouise says
Hearing a Middleton call anyone an opportunist is a joke.
Bunniest says
Prince Harry & Meghan Markle. There’s no way he’ll go against the family even if he wants his own version of the Duchess of Cambridge.
prinny says
You got that right Bunniest, MM looks way too much like Kate. Probably another reason Kate dislikes her! Its just too weird.
lovesoaps says
Agree. I bet they dont last
Booboo1068 says
Last comment was cut off I think. Last part was MM involved with public media warning confirming her role as royal GF. BTW even if they split she’ll benefit for a long time from the PR.
Booboo1068 says
Been a long time since my last comment but as a Harry supporter have to say I agree with his SIL on this. Here’s why: MM’s social media accts (accidentally?) posted a pic of her wearing PH’s bracelet, plus pics of her with PM Trudeau at (WeDay?) saying Ms Gregoire-Trudeau Sophie ‘was missed (why not just hilite event if you’re so dedicated), pic of her with famous fam’s daughter (why give last name of child?), walking around near PH’s home with his hat, and MM was involved with public…
prinny says
Harry needs to cool it. Marriage should never be rushed into, PARTICULARLY when you are a Royal! He needs to get past that love haze to really see her as she is. I personally think that takes a year AT LEAST, and this is by constantly spending time together which I doubt these two do. If after he really gets to know her, then by all means, do it if he still feels it.
Yeah, “Waity” is wise to not say anything other than to William, she would be pounced upon big time methinks!
tellmemore says
Yes, Kate is a commoner, but she’s very well-educated and was already accustomed to socializing with wealthy and/or influential people. Since she was marrying the future King of England, her background and ability to fit it was especially important. Even though Harry probably won’t be King, his wife will still attend official affairs with royalty and foreign dignitaries. If she has no education & no knowlege of formal protocol, it will be hard on them.
tellmemore says
Plus, Harry is so worldly and well-educated; what could he possibly have in common with her – especially after such a short time? And the timing of their relationship news really helped promote her new clothing line.
chocomint says
Meghan was educated in a privata, only-girls, school in Los Angeles, graduated in with a double major in theatre and international relations from Northwestern University, worked at the US embassy in Argentina and has been an avocate for women rights at the UN, yet people act like she’s just a dumb actress who doesn’t have a clue about how to deal socializing with wealthy and/or influential people.
anpa18 says
Yeah.. she was also a game show model….
nosykins says
Let me help you out here since you obviously dislike Meghan. She is well-educated. So are her parents. She comes from privilege. She’s not royalty, but few people are.
a girl has no name says
Wow you are so wrong on some stuff about Meghan. She is actually educated, and very worldly and does have much in common with Harry and even when it comes to charity work she has done more than Kate has done before or after she became a royal. Meghan has travelled to Rwanda, and some parts of Africa, she has initiated the clean water campaign and works with the UN, something that makes her a bit similar to Princess D and also same passion with Harry. Before she became an actress she worked with…

Optional: Does family opinion matter when choosing a spouse? That depends on what type of relationship you have with your family.
Booboo1068 says
Agree, and in Harry’s family it’s down to his gran or as the world knows her…QE2. She’s only been in power since Churchill, in the public eye since childhood and met most world leaders. You don’t stay in power and keep your name relevant for decades by luck. Tough sell indeed.
Bunniest says
The fact she survived Diana’s death & got the one bloc to accept Camilla says it all. This is a girl who grew up while her Uncle David was about to throw aside the throne for Wallis Simpson. Can’t imagine they’d willingly accept any American into the fold no matter how pretty, smart or educated.

Very true.

Your family’s opinion won’t matter when you’re choosing, but it will be HUGE when you’re actually married. A family can make a happy marriage very difficult if they’re not accepting of your spouse.

Prince HArry and Meghan Markle. From what it seems, she seems to be a great person, and for someone who has the reputation for being a wild child, I think it speaks volumes that he’s considering settling down with her. On the other hand, I think it is too soon for him to propose. He should give her the chance for his family to get to know her better and warm up to her and see how great of a person she is.
Comparing her to Camilla, or whatever, is unfair. Meghan seems to have much grace and…
Kemcee says
This one is easy! Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from Suits. They would be referring to Princess Diana regarding the drama and one bad apple comment, although that could also be Sarah Ferguson. History altering would be a member of the British Royal Family marrying someone with no royal connections, and being an actress as well.
My first comment, although long time reader. Had to register as I knew this one! Looks like my first comment is the first comment too!
Raven Empress says
I just joined as well! Congrats on being right on your first post 🙂
As much as this could be somewhat history-altering, the “no royal connections” bit is far from new… look at Waity Katie and (more appropriately) Wallis Simpson. The British Royal Family are an anachronism in the modern era. Kate’s words are rich, seeing as though she is a commoner with no royal connections, has never had a job, and is the ultimate opportunist!
That being said… still hoping for Ms. Davy

Clearly this is the Royal family. Harry wants to marry Ms. Markle and Granny Liz thinks it’s a bad idea.
Could the “One Bad Apple” they refer to in the BI be Diana? Would be a shame to see an accident befall Harry’s GF before the nuptials can happen… The Queen would be so distraught at the anguish her grandson would endure…

he shoud wait. not every woman can live this life and not every is smart enough to see this clear, like Chelsea Davy did. british press can be very mean. they were mean towards Kate before she married William, an american actress is a great target.

Family should be given a listen, because they may see better than the one who’s smitten. But really, it has to be the decision of the person getting married.
However, all bets are off of you’re a member of a prominent monarchy. Their bread and butter is their image, and they have to keep it together to maintain the status quo.
Not that I think that’s right, just that this is how they view it from the inside.
He could give up his title.

Optional: yes. I’m very close with my family and if they didn’t like my future spouse, it might make me stop and think why that was. Of course, my family is very supportive and welcomes others into the family with open arms. So if they don’t like you, there is probably a good reason!
prinny says
same here. My family pretty much likes everyone, if they didn’t like someone, that would be a huge thing for me.
I have been married for 27 years. His family liked me and my family liked him, yet, STILL, family is such a source of conflict in the best situation. I shudder to think how things would be between a couple when there was dislike involved.

How much weight you give your family’s opinion depends on your relationship with them. In this case, Harry and his brother, dad, y abuelos seem to be very close, so no doubt their input is important to him. They have extremely public lives as part of this ancient religious and historical tradition, and as such, what might be a minor issue in a private family would be a massive spectacle for them. It’s a tough situation for all, but MM seems like a decent…

It really depends how important family is to you. If you only see them once or twice a year – maybe not a big deal to go against their wishes. However if you see them day in and day out, it could be good to value their opinion. Unless your family just has it out for you – why would they not want to see you happy? They might see something in this person you are smitten with that in time you would also see.

If they want to get married after that, family opinions shouldn’t matter, even…

I think they should give it more time to be honest…. keep seeing each other as privately as they can in the meantime.

Normally I would say family opinion is important. However, Prince Harry is a combat veteran who is old enough and experienced enough to make his own decisions. Waiting to get married didn’t work out so well for his dad, and he’s so far down the line of succession it’s not as if his bride will be Queen.

Honestly, there are so FEW good marriages out there that I’m beginning to think it doesn’t matter who chooses the spouse: it never works.
Setting my cynicism aside, I’ll trust Kate’s opinion. OTOH, Harry is old enough not to go all silly eyes over a beautiful woman. Maybe he really knows she’s the right woman for him.

Sometimes family opinion can matter. But poor Prince Harry’s been through a lot; let the man be in love 🙂 I mean, look at Crown Prince Carl and Princess Sofia of Sweden! Adjust her to royal life; make sure she can be either an actress or a working royal successfully and go from there!

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, obviously. I agree w/ Kate (?) that he’s probably rushing into it, they haven’t been together for a year yet! That’s too soon for any couple imo. Wait a year or two instead of acting on impulse, and his family might even warm up to her in the meantime.
What I don’t understand is why’d she want to marry him. Sure, he’s a Prince and all that, but he doesn’t seem like a very intelligent person… prob he wants to marry her before she realizes it.

I agree with you. He seems like he has too much baggage and why would she want to be apart of that stuffy family anyway oh must be the money and publicity she gets from it

With the Royal family opinion matters. When your Grandmother is the Queen of England, and she disapproves, their relationship is doomed. Why would Meghan want to subject herself or Harry to so much future stress and BS from the scandal and fallout? Date each other, but marriage is ill-advised.

The Royals. Couldn’t pay me enough to live a life that public and “proper”. The most interesting part above is that Kate “has abstained from critiquing directly” but that she calls the Actress an oppotunist who will do or say anything to make the marriage happen. Tha sounds like a pretty direct critique to me!!!

If a person has a good relationship with their family to begin with then absolutely, especially if everyone has similar doubts about prospective spouse.

[Optional] Does family opinion matter when choosing a spouse? I believe so sometimes family can see what you cant bc youre so blinded by love.

Yes, I think it ultimately does. Usually if your family doesn’t like someone, they have reasons for it. I would love to see Harry with someone young and fun but I don’t think this girl is it. However, I am single and ready Prince Harry! Your grandma would LOVE me.

It shouldn’t matter unless you rely on that family for sustenance. If you’re an adult, living on your own, with your own money and support than who cares what your family thinks. Marry who you want.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Harry will never sit on the throne, so why should it matter that much who he marries. He could do worse, given his type. Sometimes people are stupid and have no common sense when they choose a partner, but it is still their business in the end.

Optional: If your family has its feet firmly on the ground then yes, it’s a good idea to listen to their advice. But it’s Harry’s choice to make. Prince Charles should remember how miserable HE was when he abstained from marrying Camilla earlier on in his life, before Diana, because his family felt that SHE, a divorcee, was not suitable. Kate should recall that many say the same thing about her & her family that she is accusing the actress of…
WillowPotter says
Well said!
itstarapagain says
William’s snotty friends made fun of Kate for years because her parents committed the horrible sin of actually having jobs. Her dad was a pilot and her mom a flight attendant. They especially made fun of her mom’s profession. I think that circle is coming down to earth a little bit but the past “suitability” issues were absurd. Margaret didn’t get to marry her true love because QE found him unsuitable and boy did she rebel

I read some where that she said growing up her mom always reinforced that old saying “why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free” My guess is she told him she wouldn’t have sex unless she was married. It seems like when women do that men are in a hurry to get married ASAP lol. Either way I think they make a nice couple. I’m curious to see how this will play out
Jazza says
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. I think family can offer their advice, but ultimately the decision lies on the ones in the actual relationship. When it comes to royalty, the reality is probably completely different.

Totally agree. And she represents the family beautifully. Class act.

It’s hard to tell by your post where the sarcasm is directed, so I’ll assume we’re in agreement. 🙂
LilGator says
People seem to forget about the BS Wills put her through… lots of late night drinking, the boob grab picture (I think from a strip club), then breaking up with her and begging her back… most of this while she was attending Polo Matches and * with his family and trying to prove herself a lady.
oliviam says
Prince harry
Megan markle or something
I do think it matters, especially in this case of a royalty. But i think, the most important choices lay based on our self, external influences only support or dissuade our personal opinion but we should always listen to them especially from the family.
Ps: i dont like that megan, she’s an attention seeker. this relationship would not be known to public if it weren’t from her cyrptic instagram posts.

He made a public statement about her so I think he’s pretty serious about her and she doesn’t seem to be hating the attention either. Whatever happens, she’s set for life now because she’ll always have that story to pull out if she needs press.
dearwinner83 says
Ooh dear Prince Harry! Sounds like Megan isn’t a popular choice with the royals.
Lols at Kate saying she’s an opportunist…*pot…kettle…black*!
She’s totally unsuitable and should be dumped

[Optional] Does family opinion matter when choosing a spouse?
I think it’s helpful to get valid opinions from people who’ve known you all your life. I feel sorry for Harry, he seems a bit lost right now (he gave up his military career because he said he’d soon be sitting at a desk rather than being in the action.) I doubt this actress is interested in much more than publicity and maybe a big divorce settlement in 3-5 years.
itstarapagain says
And a title… I’m sure that’s attractive too
Conchord says
I have no idea. My first thought was that it could be whichever Olsen twin (turns out it was Mary-Kate) was with that French guy, but they married a year ago. Although come to think of it, he would be a bit old to still have a grandmother.

Unless you’re going to move to an island far away, I would say family opinion does account for something. I just wanna know what she’s done to make them so vehemently against her since this “isn’t about her race”.
ladysussex says
Well she already has one failed marriage under her belt. Also, the nude scenes she’s done, which for younger people may not be a big deal, but to a 90 yr. old lady and her husband and friends, it’s absolutely scandalous. There are even modern Americans who would caution their children against marrying someone with such a short lived marriage/divorce, and people who wouldn’t want their son to marry a woman who has been nude for the world to see…so it’s really not that unusual at all.
Dirty Squirrel says
She isn’t British and likes the attention way too much. Her PR are scooping the paps to her locations and her social media is going to get her single if she doesn’t stop with the hints.
Midwestgurl says
I hear what you’re saying, but she isn’t one of them. She’s not British. She lives a completely different life than what they do. She’s not modest -she’s been in various states of undress. That may be okay for average families, but this is not an average family. They hold candidates to a higher standard. Modest in dress and actions.
LilGator says
1) She’s not British, or even from the commonwealth
2) She’s done nude scenes. Remember the Royal’s reaction to paps catching Kate topless at a private resort with Wills? They really don’t want a duchess’ lady bits out there for the public to see
3) They don’t seem to have much fondness for actresses.
4) The Queen has no love for tabloid fodder after the Diana years. Marrying an actress would throw them right back in that fire.
amagod121 says
Yeah, I think that this answer, #4, is really the kicker and the real reason they are against her. She doesn’t really seem to be level-headed and is in a profession that used to attract women of very low standing to it and still has women who constantly throw about their lady bits, which Meagen has also done. Hence, she seems like a flibbity jibbet and they DON’T want another Lady Di creating havoc for them. It’s not really fair but it’s their ballgame.
Squeezes99 says
If you follow the British royals closely, you’d know that anyone marrying into the family has to meet certain criteria. She fails the test on several levels: she’s divorced–that’s a huge no. She’s an actress–another huge no. She’s American – another huge no. She’s posed nude – another huge no. The only criteria they’ve lightened up on since Diana’s day is that they used to have to be a virgin–they even had a gyno examine for Diana. They mean business, especially since Fergie.
carriebradshaw says
@LilGator
seems like they realised, that next Camilla with all her flaws will be still better option than loveless marriage to some next Diana.
