Her ‘job’ will be Queen but won’t her title be princess consort… ? And no one will care about the official title and will call her Kate, princess, etc.
I’m late to this but I thought Meghan’s dress was classically elegant and she looked amazing! I didn’t care for the opera singer or the piece to which she entered the chapel. Too loud and jarring. But that was my only quibble. The rest of the service was fresh (the American minister), novel (Stand by Me) and lovely.
I loved the beginning music and the opera singer. I immediately had chills! The music, the grandeur, seeing her at the entrance of the chapel- beautiful.
I thought the dress was lovely and the bride beautiful. I do think the fit was a little off, but it seemed to me that she had lost a bit of weight (not that she wasn’t always thin) and with a dress that doesn’t form fit, that might have made the fit appear a little less perfect. But still beautiful.
Yes. She will be Queen Consort, though, as opposed to Queen Regnant, which is a distinction that few care about. 
No, she will be Queen Consort, unless Charles/William changes the “rules.” As it stands now though (and this could well change in the future), if/when Charles becomes King, Camilla will be Princess Consort, as Buck House announced at the time of their marriage.

I just saw a pic of Serena Williams’ dress for the reception. The big bold flower pattern on the skirt? LOVE.
Yes, loved her later dress- right on her, right boldness. Priyanka’s was beautiful, but Serena’s was the YES! moment.
If anyone sees Doria’s party dress, please link.
Look at this picture from the BBC: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-23272491
Little Charlotte, the queen’s great-granddaughter, is Princess Charlotte of Cambridge. Prince Andrew’s daughters, the Queen’s granddaughters, are Princess Beatrice of York and Princess Eugenie of York. But how come Prince Edward’s daughter is only Lady Louise Windsor, and Princess Anne’s granddaughters Savannah, Isla and Mia Grace haven’t got any titles at all?
I feel so deprived that we can’t see photos of the evening reception dresses. I understand about strict privacy inside the reception because it was a private affair, but why oh why can’t we have some shots of the guest arrivals!!
Doria looked beautiful too and had a lovely wistful looking smile at the service. It’s too bad she was the only member of Meghan’s family in attendance. The rest of that bunch must be a nightmare.
Sadly I had to check my camera and my phone upon arriving at the Frogmore House reception. 
This is totally, totally random, but my brother’s speech teacher all through elementary school (“Mrs. Engelson”) was Meghan’s first mother-in-law. My mom is falling over herself thinking about all the teacher gifts she gave her (lotions, body scrubs, etc) and how she might have regifted them to her daughter in law. I guess for this reason, Meghan seems very down to earth to me. Also I LOVED her hair and makeup. It was so beautiful. I’m having dress regret and veil regret for my own choices after seeing how gorgeous she looked. Also, Stand By Me was supposed to be our first dance, but now I’m afraid everyone will think we’re copying. Such a good song!!
Re #717, if I recall years back, Prince Edward requested no to have his children use titles so they would have a more normal life, but they can in fact be called Prince or Princess. As far as Princess Ann’s children, titles pass down through the male heirs so her children would not have those titles.
Correct. Buck House announced at the time:
Also correct. Mark Phillips declined a title on marriage, so Princess Anne’s children at birth were simply Peter Phillips and Zara Phillips. And anyway, Princess Anne’s grandchildren (as well as Prince Edward’s and Prince Andrew’s future grandchildren, and Prince Harry’s children) as great-grandchildren of a monarch and not in the direct line of succession would not have been entitled to either HRH or Prince(ss). In fact, before the Queen changes the rules during Kate’s second pregnancy to apply to all of William and Kate’s children, only George would have been an HRH Prince. Whether she changes it again for Harry and Meghan’s kids remains to be seen.

Didn’t MI6 provide you with some secret camera tux buttons, ski?
Ya know (well, really, you don’t,) I always joke so many Americans know next to nuthin’ about Canadian history or culture. Often, same about England. (Lots of assumptions, since we mostly share a language.) In that respect, some of this thread is just fun, expecially the tidbits.
Truth be told, I hope Meghan isn’t overwhelmed. It’s not just the rules, but the lack of privacy, surrounded by staff and courtiers. The formality (no hanging at Gram’s, feet up on the coffee table, watching some tv show, passing the chips.)
And the scrutiny, as we see here.
Speaking of taboos, the royal couple asked for menstrual pads instead of gifts. They asked for donations to the Myna Mahila Foundation, which provides menstrual pads to girls and young women in India, so they can go to school during their periods. How can you not love this?

Not a big royal watcher, but I just love weddings! I happened to see most of the live broadcast. The first thing I noticed was how plain her dress was, and that it seemed a little loose on her. (I wondered if all the stress during the last couple weeks–family drama/her father’s surgery, etc. had caused her to lose weight. She looked pretty, but frail.) My second thought was “Fire her hairdresser!” Unevenly sagging with stray strand on one side?–surely she didn’t want to look like this on international TV? I figured that part had been accidentally pulled down when messing with the veil or something. I was annoyed that a well-paid someone had failed at his/her one job of making the bride’s hair look nice (sleek/elegant to go with her dress) and stay in place on her big day! (My 13yo D could’ve done better…) She did look beautiful regardless, but the hair was distracting. Other random thoughts: Gotta hand it to Meghan’s mom–being there alone, not used to the limelight. She looked nice. I did not care at all for the sermon. (I had a sense that a lot of the guests were, like me, politely waiting for it to be over). Loved the cellist–brought tears to my eyes. While I like the songs, “Stand by Me” and “This Little Light of Mine,” they seemed out of place with the rest of the music/ceremony/ venue. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect!
