There is only one verdict during the royal wedding yesterday between Prince Harry and Hollywood actress, Meghan Markle, it was a success – a history making.
After weeks of salacious revelations about the Markles and Meghan, yesterday put a lid to all the controversies. The lid might be temporary, we shall see.
Remember how Sarah Fergusson was at first the darling of the crowd in 1986? Did not last long 🙁
Yesterday, the world had seen how Meghan was so poised and dignified. Meghan sparkled.
Her dress was expensively simple, which suited her well. The pièce de résistance to her wedding ensemble was the purity and simplicity of the Queen Mary Diamond Bandeau Tiara. A real show stopper! It was perfectly nestled into a long train of veil, which cascaded behind her like a silken river. The veil was embroidered by all the flowers from the 53 commonwealth nations.
She might yet be the real thing, a real duchess.
Well she is officially the Duchess of Sussex, (Countess ) Lady of Dumbarton and (Baroness) Lady of Kilkeel and also being Princess Harry. ‘A list’ guests attending with members of public. Millions around the world watched or listened to a bright, joyous and happy event, sadly rare at present in the world at large. We saw part of the RAF wedding fly by of planes over our garden en route to Windsor on a glorious sunny day.
It doesn’t bode well for their future. But then again having said that, Meghan and her own family might just fit in nice and well with the British Royal Family.
I am so looking forward to the next instalment of their drama.
It is like Coronation Street, Eastenders, Emmerdale, The Beverley Hillbillies, The Munsters & Dowtown Abbey rolled into one and topped by a hint of Deliverance.
Netflix should jumped immediately into making a drama based on the Markle Windsor alliance.
I have to admit that when Harry and Meghan first announced their engagement, I was not in anyway bothered except for wishing them well.
But as the days start to near the actual nuptial, I am becoming overwhelmed with excitement and gawky mirth.
It is not the excitement of wanting to know what Meghan would wear.
But…
The more on the unfolding drama behind Meghan Markle’s family background, which is riveting; better than stylised fiction. 🙂
I am pretty sure many in the palace admin/PR side are loosing their hair from grabbing them in frustration.
As they solve one incident, another pops up right behind immediately.
The ‘will he, won’t he?’ saga about Thomas Markle walking his daughter down the aisle is frankly hilarious!
And now I am pretty sure not the only one that think the Royal Family will be blamed for Meghan’s father not attending the wedding after all. This will be a conspiracy.
The Royal Family will be blamed for looking down on Meghan’s family.
This should not be the case as the Royal Family is as dysfunctional as Meghan’s own.
Who could forget about the Sophiegate better known as Sophie Tape of 2001, where Sophie, the Countess of Wesses (wife of Edward- QEII youngest son) was rather forthright in her criticism of a lot of people. And it was also said that Edward and Sophie are like a marionettes for the right price, allegedly.
Who can forget the many scandals attached to Prince Andrew. I do feel sorry for him because he was thwarted when he was romancing Koo Stark. In the end he had to make do with Fergie and her toe sucking antics.
What about Tampax Charlie and his darling Camilla. He had to marry his mistress, who he can’t marry the first time round because his mummy did not approve.
Though I love Diana, of course, we all know almost everything about her and her murky past.
Yap Meghan will fit in nicely with the royals.
A word of advice to the Royal Family. Get a private jet and bring Meghan’s father to the wedding, otherwise there will always be a hint that the cog in the royal machine had something to do with the none appearance of the father of the bride.
It’s smoking conspiracy! 🙂
For all it is worth,
WE WOULD LIKE TO WISH MEGHAN AND HARRY A HAPPY LIFE TOGETHER!
The poor Duke of Edinburgh is probably sedated at the moment with all the goings on with the Markles. LOL A latest gossip was that Father Markle had the heart attack because he was so upset with his son for having written to Prince Harry imploring him to run away from his sister. LOL
This Kdrama is based on an American drama, Suits. It is about an excellent ‘closer’ who hired an associate, even though he is only a college drop out. What he the young man has is his photographic memory.
Cast:
Jang Dong-gun as Choi Kyung-seo (Harvey Specter)
Park Hyung-sik as Go Yeon-woo (Mike Ross)
Chae Jung-an as Choi Byun (Donna Roberta)
Ko Sung-hee as Kim Ji-na (Rachel Zane)
Jin Hee-kyung as Kang Ha-yeon (Jessica Pearson)
Choi Gwi Hwa as Chae Geun-Sik (Louis Litt)
I was so glad when I first heard that there will be a Kdrama version of Suits.
I really enjoyed watching the American ‘Suit’. It made a princess out of Meghan Markle playing Rachel Zane. 🙂
My favourite character in the American version is Louis Litt. He is so vile and slimy, he was actually adorable. LOL I hope the Korean version can simulate him.
I have to say Jang Dong-gun and Park Hyung-sik are perfect choices to play the roles made famous by Gabriel Macht and Patrick J. Adams.
The first episode has almost fallowed the exact version of the American drama.
Go Yeon-woo has a perfect memory that he often take the bar exams for people who would pay him. He needed the money as he is looking after a hospitalised grandmother.
As the bills are piling up, he had no choice but to carry out shady deals once in a while. One of these, was delivering a briefcase full of dope.
Running away from the authorities chasing him, he stumbled upon a open day interview for associates at Kang&Ham Law office.
The person who could name the statuette at Choi Byun’s desk gets to progress for an interview with Kyung-seo.
Despite a number of applicants from prestigious schools, no one so far could name the statuette, that is until Yeon Woo came by.
It was fortunate for him as the narcotics officers were about to pounce on him.
He confessed immediately to Kyung-seo that he was not a lawyer and he is carrying dope.
He showed quick wit and good memory when he finally came face to face with the narcotics officers which impressed Kyung Seo.
He was hired on the spot.
Then..
He was fired on the first day.
Yeon Woo did not take it lying down being fired. He argued and counter-argued which reminded Kyung-seo that he in turn just did the same thing with Ha-yeon, when his promotion as a partner was retracted due to a major client’s dissatisfaction with the level of service he received and now suing the firm for damages.
In the end Ha-yeon approved his promotion but it did cost him. He had to ensure that the client drops his suit and he had to do a pro bono case (the clients are those who are unable to pay the high price of justice!)
Because of this good outcome, i.e. promotion, he was feeling benevolent and told Yeon Woo that he had passed the test. He is hired.
He will be under supervision for six months and during that time he must get his degree and pass the bar and money is no object!
As a piece de resistance, Yeon Woo will be in charge of a pro bono case.
So far win-win for Kyung-seo, who was not that enamoured doing pro bono cases. (Clever)
Watching this drama is not so exciting, I have to admit. I feel like I have seen it all before. Though the day to day stories vary a little bit and the two male leads are total eye candy, the framework is basically the same as the American’Suit’.
I must confessed that the American ‘Suit’ for me is not about Harvey and Mike but it was gorgeous Harvey with sneaky, slimy Louis Litt.
So far, the Louis Litt character in the Korean version does not show that attitude and personality of Rick Hoffman’s vile Louis.
