Hi Denner
You’re right – in the engagement interview, Harry said he fell hard and fast for Meghan, love at first sight. He said he felt he had to “up his game” when talking to her. Even if that’s an exaggeration, what a great thing to say – points there Harry! And the press release from Kensington Palace about the paparazzi hounding Meghan, her family, and the racist things said about her – it was unusual for a Royal to speak up. Their MO is to usually stay silent, not acknowledge. But I guess Harry felt he had to push back because 1. it wasn't right, and 2. so another girlfriend wouldn’t be scared off. I can only imagine how different Meghan’s life will be now. I heard one Royal reporter say that no one who’s sane would want to be a Princess – in other words, it’s a lot to give up for love. But from what I’ve read, both Princes tried to make sure their fiancés understood what they’d be stepping into – full disclosure before they said yes. And they won't sit silent when the press intrudes. Good for them.
I loved the wedding. When Charles and Diana married, we lived on the west coast. But I got up at 2 or 3 am to watch. I had to go to work the next day, but it was a huge deal. So I wanted to see this wedding too. I understand that the Queen had to give the OK to everything – it was all run past her first. She saw the dress, she knew about all parts of the service – she even had to give Harry the OK to keep his beard. In the UK, she’s the most popular Royal, and Harry is #2. I think I get now why the Queen is #1. At 92 she’s from a different generation, different era, but she sees the need for change. Good for her. It’s interesting – she has the demeanor of being apolitical. I’m sure she has many opinions, but you’d never guess what they are – she stays outside politics. There are no laws preventing them from voting, but apparently Royals don’t vote. It’s seen as a potential Constitutional crisis otherwise. I wonder if that will be hard for Meghan.
Not sure if you read this - a cool story. When Meghan came to Toronto to film Suits, she met Jessica Mulroney (she’s a stylist, works in PR I believe, is a wedding planner too), and they became good friends. Jessica’s husband Ben is the son of one of our former Prime Ministers. So when Meghan and Harry started dating, and the press started closing in, they went to Jessica and Ben’s house for a bit. Ben told Harry that years ago when his dad was PM, Charles and Diana were in Canada for a Royal visit. During a dinner at the PM’s residence, Diana got a little tired of the shop talk and went upstairs. She ran into the Mulroney kids. She stayed up there for a bit and visited with them. So Ben had this great memory to share with Harry – way back when I met your mum. So maybe that’s why Ben Mulroney had one of the best seats in the chapel for the wedding. :thumbsup:
and he apparently wasn't in the habit of asking the woman if she was on birth control (another stupid habit) 
and therefore he may have more than Omer as a child, he may have other children all over the world (Italy, America and Turkey) that he doesn't even know about. Oh dear! :eeking: I just looked up the stats of AIDS in Turkey. It's sad, apparently Savas' stupidity isn't isolated to him but rather the Turkish population as a whole, he is therfore symbolic of the Turkish population regarding the prevention of speading AIDS at the time this series is produced, (should I say that): 
. I would have redone just that scene Scout. They plot required for Yasemin to make a rash decision on the spot as is her personality to do so. It had to be a short encounter and she runs away; hence the repeated references to Cinderella. She had to remain a stranger until he finds her.

Another mystery for me solved!
