Morto for her old man.............

He's been caught colluding with the paps to fix the two recent pic scoops of him this past week or so. One set of photos was where he'd been photographed getting measured up for a weeding suit and the other was where he had apparently been looking at pics of the happy couple on a PC in an Internet Cafe.

If he does still end up coming to the wedding, they'd want to be sure and check his dickie bow for the latest GoPro.

Ffs here was i thinking ah jaysus can't they(the paps) just leave the guy alone.

Because a lot of people here, men and women, are interested in the Royals over the road because they're unusual and entertaining in a way, and the spectacle and razzmatazz surrounding an event like this is something that doesn't roll around very often and doesn't do any great harm. If it bothers you that much, just ignore it. Live long, and prosper.

Danny Donut · 16-05-2018 11:06AM

As Jim said this will be razzamataz at its best. It is history in the making.

Love it or hate it - but ffs RTE's story just after Kim Jong-un threatening to throw his toys out again, and blow the world to buggeration, is what Gary Linaker thinks about England and the World Cup. Why is this even a story here - or in England for that matter.

Does anyone know of anywhere in Dublin that's showing it on Saturday? There's a 75e event in the Conrad that I wouldn't pay for, and a viewing in the Whale Theatre in Greystones that's sold out, so outside of those? Any pub? Thought somewhere like Pantibar might show it but very little info online.

WoollyRedHat · 17-05-2018 10:16AM

Anyone else think this whole relationship is actually an elaborate and conceptual cinematic piece that is Andy Warhol- like in nature being played out by aspiring actor Harry & former Suits star Meghan Markle, to bend the contours of reality and produce a piece to rival The Crown and The Kardashians, ? It would send the Tabloid's into a tizzy!

After all the pomp and ceremony, it's just a marriage. They'll wake up in the morning, put their knickers on one leg at a time, and go to work. Will the marriage survive the pressure of being in the public eye? I'm actually positive about this one, since both of them have been in the public eye to varying degrees for years, so it's not the sudden shock it was for Diana. They'll need a roibust sense of humour to make it, but I think both of them have that.

My wife tells me it'll be on in our sitting room, but you're not invited.

What channels are showing the thing, anyway?

I think they are putting up a big screen in the Royal Dublin Society in D4

Won't what - work? Oh, they'll have work, all right - not in an office or a factory, and not 9-5, but these minor Royals can have quite a lot going on. Appearances, charity work, being patrons of organisations, and more. I doubt they work anything like as hard as you or I, but the idea that they just loaf around all day is nonsense. Have a look here for example.

Meghan Markle is a cutie.

The telly has been booked from 9am. It's on BBC1.
I've to bring light refershments at 11.45. Then fuck off as the main event begins at 12 as she "doesnt want to listen to your running commentary"

Oh I dont disagree that they "go" to things.

But its hardly work in the traditional sense of the word.

Would I prefer the drudgery of my 9-5 or to get escorted to loads of social engagements where everyone licks my arse and I am in new outfits looking wonderful all the time? Which to choose....

Id never be able for it. I would eat every bit of food they offered and turn into Jabba the Hut within 6 months. Theyd have to roll me into events.

I don't know about younger royals but I would never want to do what queen is doing. Even at 90 she is doing her duty, parading around, shaking hands with people she doesn't necessarily like, talking to people she doesn't know, making boring speeches regardless how she feels.

I think sometimes people place too much value on nice dresses and parties, life is about so much more. One of the biggest joys is to be able to say I am not doing that today or ever. She doesn't have that choice.

I am anything but royalist but I also don't crave the life they live in the constant glare of media. Even this wedding, everyone has some embarrassing or annoying relatives. If you are getting married you either don't invite them or hope the won't cause a scene. Here their whole past is scrutinised, stories are sold to media and there is constant dread of what next.

Yeah but you get to be a rich-ass mofo married to Prince Harry with no money worries or day-job stresses and a fabulous wardrobe for the rest of your days.

I still reckon Markle is a social climber and will be CHA-CHING!ing her way up that aisle on Saturday. Even moreso now that her family has revealed themselves to be as crazy and classless as they actually are.

Why do posts like this always make me picture a sad man living in his mam's spare room with a pile of magazines hidden under the bed.

They might be crazy, but apparently her father claims among his ancestors Robert the Bruce and Edward "Longshanks" Plantagenet.

ceadaoin. · 17-05-2018 03:53PM

I feel bad for her. Her family are a nightmare, must be humiliating for her for them to be acting like this so publicly. She's being judged by the public and im sure the wider royal family too. I'd be interested to hear her side of it but obviously we probably never will.

c68zapdsm5i1ru · 17-05-2018 03:55PM

Yes I feel bad for her as well. This has thrown a huge shadow over what should be an exciting occasion for her.

EdgeCase · 17-05-2018 03:58PM

I find the whole concept of royals and monarchies and all this pomp ridiculous but, she seems like a very nice and rather down-to-earth woman and I find all this digging up stuff about her father a bit ridiculous.

Typical British tabloid asshattery. All they want to do is dig scandals about royals while the country is going down the toilet, largely thanks to the same media outlets' jingoistic campaigns over the years. A bit of real journalism wouldn't be a bad thing!

I would suspect most of the UK's population couldn't in reality give a damn and just want to see a state funded pretty fairy tale wedding.

Wheres Me Jumper? · 17-05-2018 04:01PM

i usually wouldn't care either way.
but this is fast descending into a soap opera, and there is something compulsive about watching people make fools of themselves and washing their dirty lingerie before the whole world.
it promises to be great amusement for all, and i for one cannot wait for the fisticuffs to kickoff at the reception.
my moneys on Charlie to land a hay maker on Andy, and Camilla to stick her stiletto in once he's floored.

EdgeCase · 17-05-2018 04:04PM

It's not like the Royals are some kind of model of perfect family serenity and scandal free history. The soap opera is a big part of what keeps the public interest and keeps them relevant.

If they were boring, people would have cancelled that reality TV show years ago.

RTE will have live coverage also.

Tell them to watch on that so they don't hog the sky box.

Wheres Me Jumper? · 17-05-2018 04:14PM

i'll give it 3 years max.

Megs to quote the pressure of her career, travel etc.
Harry to blame the media for creating "a Dianaesque pressure-cooker environment".

DEFTLEFTHAND · 17-05-2018 04:15PM

IDK, there's a whiff of trailer trash off this lot.

I wonder what the Queen thinks of them.

DEFTLEFTHAND · 17-05-2018 04:16PM

Never realised how old Markle actually is.

Could pass for late 20s.
