Red Hot News Question - Will He Or Won't He?

    Me and the missus and the nippers are all agog with the right royal speculation that is understandably dominating the front pages and lead items of the news agenda.

    Will Megan's dad, Malcolm Markle, go to the wedding or not? Will it have to be her mum, Mabel Markle, who gives her away instead?

    On the one hand, what royal gal or guy wouldn't want her father to walk him or her down the aisle? On the other, we can't have the royal 'firm' embarrassed by someone who's prepared to pose for photos for money, can we? That'd be crude money grubbing and things like gold, money and jewels are an absolute anathema to our Royal Family. It's like they're allergic to them. We all know how much they despise wealth and money.

    As you can imagine, it's the exclusive topic of debate in the Kremlin household, with passions running high on both sides of the debate. If Malcolm doesn't go, that'll mean the whole Wisconsin branch of Markles will be persona non-grata as far as I'm concerned. And if Cousin Millicent Markle doesn't go, that'll mean her brother-in-law Michael and his brother Matthew won't go either.

    What are other hornets feelings on this: the most important question to have faced the human race since the dawn of time?

    Come or go? Stay at home or pin the carnation on the lapel? Throw him in the tower or gord bless 'im yer majesty? Top hat and tails or off with his head?

    It's certainly got us scratching our heads.

    Not a topic of interest in the RD household.

    I'd upgrade & appoint Joanna Lumley instead of the current set up.

    I’m up all night worrying about it Clive.

    The two families do remind me of the sitcom ‘Keeping Up Appearances’ though.

    Certainly the hottest question of the day and probably the year. Israel and the Palestinians should take a long hard look at themselves - they think they've got problems?! They are nothing more than attention seekers in comparison.

    In years to come, children will ask "Where were you when Megan Markle's dad potentially dropped out of the wedding?"

    Will Harry's dad be there too?

    Master stroke by The FA to make the Cup Final seem important again if you ask me. Literally could not give any less of a **** about the Royal Wedding, what linen they are using for the tablecloths or any of that other nonsense that is seemingly classed as being newsworthy. The fact her Dad might bail just makes it slightly more common.

    I will take a stroll around Wilstone Reservoir at Tring, avoiding the whole sorry thing, and hang out at my favourite bird hide in the entire world until it's all over.

    On these occasions it's really important to have a place of sanctuary.

    Sanctuary very much!
    Didn't Megan's dad come to us on loan a few years ago?

    Respectful of you to wait the 20 years since She pegged out to publish this stunningly persuasive evidence.

    Hewitt does look Central Castings’ complete waste of a foetus.

    Best thing about this so far has been the big fat USA ladies who, on payment of a sizable search fee to family-tree stretching hucksters, have been "discovered" to be seventh cousin twice removed to Lady Megz.

    "OH!......MA!........GAAAARRDDDD!!!! You mean I'm ROYALTY?!?!"

    I really wish I was over there at the moment. I'd love to play along with this.

    I'd play it like the loyal Zamudians in that Eddie Murphy film Coming to America.

    Fall to one knee in front of them and say something along the lines of "Yes you are yer grace. And as a British subject yer majesty, I now have to do everything you ask me to do. Beggin' yer pardon Ma'aaaaam, but I'm entirely at your command."

    Well, when I saw him 2 weeks ago in Vegas, there was definitely enough Elton to make 2 Eltons.

    Yeah those free Bourbons can do that to you. You aren't the first to see double, trust me.

    Clive, can I assume that the family will all be watching the wedding wearing their Harry and Megan swimwear?

    Royal family is the opiate for the masses.

    Read a book instead.

    I thought Caroline Aherne & Ricky Tomlinson were quite funny.

    Now that Daddy Markle isn't coming, our loyal royal wedding chat is focused around one crucial question:-

    After the wedding, will Meghan allow us members of the public to inspect her ring?

    Submissive.

    More to the point. Have all the homeless of Windsor, in their cardboard boxes, cleared off the streets of that snooty town, been rehoused, left to their own devices somewhere else, or simply binned?

    Not sure. I hear one of the benefit claimants is walking Meghan down the aisle though so maybe they're all ushers?

    I have a good day coming up tomorrow. It will start at 6.a.m. when I'll lead a party around the Croxley Common Moor to hear the dawn chorus. Then I think I'll head for the Pennsylvania Wetherspoons in Ricky for a proper breakfast.

    Following that, I'll go to Tring and wander about a bit at Wilstone Reservoir including a stint at my favourite bird hide in all the world. Then I'll probably do some sort of 'lunchtime thingy' at the Half Moon in Wilstone village.

    Finally, when I think it's safe to put my head up above the parapet again because all the sycophantic tosh is finally over then I might just do that.

    Seriously, what the f.ck is the matter with us all? All this touching the forelock and bending the knee utter drivel in the modern age?

    It's completely beyond me and totally pathetic.

    The whole thing is ghastly beyond words. People drooling over a family who’ve never been elected into any of the privileged positions they hold. People speaking about them as if they know them personally. Bonkers. I’m avoiding it like the plague. Although I do note that the woman getting married today has a Maltese Great-Grandmother and did visit and say nice things about our island three years ago. So she can’t be all bad.
