PrinceHarr­yistomarry a Hollywood star and I am sick with jealousy

- Ny o h a M ’ O

GREAT excitement chez nous last week with the news that Prince Harry is set to marry American actress Megan Markle. I mean come on! A British Prince marrying a Hollywood starlet – it’s the stuff movies are made of and quite frankly I am ecstatic.

I’ve always envied the Brits their Royal family, purely on the grounds of glamour and pomp. The fact they’ve now got a stunningly beautiful movie star joining their ranks makes me sick with jealousy.

But am I the only one thinking the Duchess of Cambridge must be raging...even a little bit? Surely even if you’re the nicest person on earth, you’d be ever so slightly p****d off that your baby brother in law was marrying a drop dead gorgeous film star who has arranged her wedding for the Spring that you’re due your third baby when the entire world’s media will be watching.

Personally I’d be like a dog! Well you would, wouldn’t you? It’s hard enough trying to look wedding ready at the best of times but trying to do it a few weeks after giving birth is every woman’s worst nightmare! You’d be getting the epidural and asking the anaestheti­st,

‘is there any syns in this?’

So there’s Kate, who up to now has been very much The Darling of the press when it comes to the Royal family, always smiling, always graceful, always beautifull­y turned out – the perfect princess.

Then along comes Megan, exotically beautiful, sexy, glamorous, a successful actress and a human rights activist – she just blows poor Kate out of the water, making her look like a cup of bland

Earl Grey in comparison to a Long Island Iced Tea.

To make matters worse,

Kate who is due her third baby in April will be knee deep in nappies and late night feeds when Harry and Megan walk down the aisle. Can you imagine

– you’re post natal, your boobs are leaking, you’ve still got your jelly belly, you haven’t had a proper night’s sleep in weeks and you’ve got to pose for pics with you’re dazzling sister in law while the world’s media film the whole goddamn thing for posterity.

No sooner had the engagement been announced and the comparison­s began. Kate was spotted attending a museum function wearing what was described by the media as a ‘mumsy looking Zara jacket’ whilst Megan dazzled the crowds in a winter white designer coat that sold out in minutes after she wore it.

But despite the Media’s predictabl­e attempts to try and pit them against each other and make them arch enemies I really hope they’ll get on. They’re going to need each other. Marrying into the royal family doesn’t necessaril­y make you a member of the royal family as I’m sure Princess Diana would attest to if she was still alive.

Let’s hope they’ll forge a strong friendship and have each other’s backs, build each other up rather than tear each other down.

And if all else fails there’s always Weight Watchers Kate!

AM I THE ONLY ONE THINKING THE DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE MUST BE RAGING...EVEN A LITTLE BIT? PERSONALLY I’D BE LIKE A DOG!
