I'm still pondering over Wobbly Welby's odd phrasing, but it's just about good enough to shut down the 'garden marriage' lie. I bet she's got video footage of that vow ceremony though.
One thing that's stands out is how skilled Megz was at drawing people into her schemes to compromise them. Welby's worried about something, I think.
I heard a LBC presenter last week mention that they knew who the Royal was who spoke to Harry before the wedding. He didn't say a name, but thinking about his comment, Princess Anne would fit. None of the papers have run with the story today, have they? Was her name already circulating but the press won't run it without a Palace comment?
I thought he might be worried that she had video of him performing an actual illegal religious marriage twice using the words "I now pronounce you husband and wife" which would probably require his resignation. But his specifying that he didn't falsify a legal document takes care of that.
He does like to wobble and waffle but it's enough to "clarify" that they're liars about "getting married" three days before.
Which they also admitted. I guess they realised a massive can of worms would open up even *if* they did have him on camera going through the C of E service illegally.
And he really can't divulge "they called me up and were stressed about the wedding so I came over and calmed them down with a blessing".
But again he loves to waffle. Last night he gave an address that could have been 20 minutes shorter and said the same thing over and over. And did a whole piece about what he hoped the new commission on the family would find all the while also acknowledging that it wasn't his place to tell them what to find.
I suppose the media reporting on Anne or coming out with another actual named person would depend on how they heard it. If it was just "I read from a royal source it was definitely X" or "an ITV source was told by Oprah it was X" or literally just "I watched Lady C's video and she said it was X".
And that's not forgetting that the Harkles themselves said two very different things about what happened, the possible royal in question has another opinion and it probably happened 4 + years ago. Any reasonably legit media is going to be careful what they say.
