Perhaps Doria Ragland's Thoughts

Doria Ragland, Meghan Markle's mother
  



As you exchange those precious vows,
I view the scene through happy tears--
white lace, your prince, sweet looks of love,
broad smiles, no signs of nervous fears.

When Blues and Royals coat and grand
Givenchy gown are stored away,
real life together will begin.
Your choices will be wise, I pray.

Remember, please, the promises 
you've made today; and always keep
them faithfully. May your love grow,
and may you laugh more than you weep.

My dear, you’re now a Princess and 
a Duchess. More importantly,
you hold the title “Daughter.” That’s
the one that means the most to ME!

Dear Harry, you’re a Prince and Duke;
some day you could be Britain’s King.
Also, you are a son-in-law--
to ME, the most important thing!

You’ll face some challenges unique
to royal couples. There must be
a tie that binds you through it all,
that LOVE so clear for all to see.

I am sure it must have been quite an overwhelming prospect for Meghan's mother with her marrying into the royal family. I doubt Harry will ever be king he is too far down the line of succession after William and his children. Good luck in the contest:-) hugs Jan xx

Yes, he's fifth in line, I believe. Only under extraordinary circumstances COULD he become King! Thanks for the comment, Jan! Janice
