About time a Royal appears to be able to marry someone they love and not someone they are obligated to marry and not have to abdicate the throne.

Sorry about your hesitant deliberation.
I should have titled it differently, I suppose...

Curious as to how they'll write her out of Suits. Maybe they should write into the script that she is marrying Prince Harry.

It's fantastic news so to add to this wonderful announcement we all welcome someone very different into our Royal Family.

An American link into Royal life to which we believe Meghan will be just fine adapting into the role.

She has spent lots of time working alongside and supporting humanitarian care groups around the globe.

Harry (Real name Henry for the ones who didn't know) is at present 5th in line to the Throne but by next spring he will be 6th upon the birth of William & Kate's 3rd child.

So Harry's duty's are less formal within his Royal role. He gives a lot of his time to disabled groups and supports many organisations world wide continuing his mother's dedicated work.

I've already had many emails from people regarding the Royal wedding date... Yes our appointed house had already been informed of the pending Engagement press release last week...

I'm sorry to inform we can't release any information contained within a Royal Household you will just have to take pot luck on the planned wedding date when placing your bets.

If anyone would like a email copy of the House of Lords press release please message me for a copy as the event has passed and the listening world has been told.

Interesting - I was pretty sure that an MBE is an individually conferred award, i.e. a couple would not possess the title, but rather an individual.

True but the title is only conferred on him, not on the missus too, so it is incorrect to say "Lord and Lady Woodford MBE". And there is no Lord Woodford: http://www.parliament.uk/mps-lords-a...s/lords/#nav-W

I think this will be his title, he was going to be the Duke of Edinburgh but his grandpa is still going strong.

I'm glad for him, seems like he is happy.

Thank you for your comments.

You are quite correct in placing facts as I'm a none parliamentary Lord along with well over a thousand other none active members who are not elected officials to parliament to which all members are not placed on the parliamentary list.

I proudly hold honours of title to the house as we represent and Royal appointed Body my personal one being ( Her Majesty Royal Charter of Mariners ) for services to Maritime Safety.

Honourable Title of Lord

This basically means I can't vote or speak within the house while Parlimentary members are in chamber.

In further reference to the use of MBE within a title, Yes your quite correct again the Orders can be used within a Title displaying martial rights of peerage only if placed in brackets to which gives The Order to one.

I do hope is isn't I've just tried to add a few points of correction...

But in everyone's defence they are all within there rights to comment on what doesn't seem correct.

Anyway shall we get back to Harry & Meghan

Not wanting to harp on but there is no such thing as the "Honourable Title of Lord". Male issue of peers can have the courtesy title of Lord but that does not apply in your case. The reason that I think this is important is that, notwithstanding the clear contributions your father and you may well have made to maritime safety, you are apparently representing yourself as something you are not. On a website where we are all very wary of potential fraudsters, that matters. I am not accusing you of any improper conduct but am pointing out apparent anomalies in your description of yourself, in the public interest.

Good timing having the wedding in May, just after the premier league has finished and before the world cup, our Harry isn't stupid.
