A man who appears comfortable in his own skin, affable and was far closer to the action in his military service than other contemporary royals. The mixed race thing passed me by, I hadn't even noticed that Megan wasn't "white". Also I wasn't unaware of the divorce thing. That said, so what! Harry won't be king and so what if circumstances prevail that he becomes king.
I'm not a Catholic, I'm an atheist but I think in this day and age Megan should not be required to renounce her Catholicism and convert to our silly Church of England state so-called religion.
It's the 21st century. Only zealots give a flying one over what creed a royal belongs. Does anyone really care what version of their imaginary friend a royal believes?
Royalty should grow up and leave the 16th century behind. It's backward and humiliating for her to renounce her Catholic faith in order to become part of the firm. I would hope that they will drop that requirement.
Meghan attended a Catholic private school but isn’t Catholic so no renouncing required. She was brought up Episcopalian but not baptised in the faith and will now be baptised in the C of E.
Thanks for the clarification. If Catholicism isn't her faith then fair enough. I do think it's still a bit much expecting her to be baptised into our backward political state religion. This is largely because I feel that religion and the state shouldn't mix. I see the C of E as a perversion and corruption of Christianity. A nationalist political construct created to usurp power from another political construct of the Vatican.
It's ironic in our country that we object to so much state interference or even EU interference yet are mostly chilled about the overbearing state having its own faith and putting a mortal monarch above its supposed omnipotent God.
Just my view.
