Will Prince Harry take Meghan Markle to Namibia for their honeymoon?
March 26, 2018
Here are more photos of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s visit to Belfast last Friday. I’m still not absolutely crazy about her outfit, but I’m still enjoying her commitment to separates, and I’m enjoying her “dress like a professional office worker” vibes. At one of the events in Belfast, Meghan and Harry met a husband and wife team who make innovative and hypoallergenic baby products. Meghan was looking at all of the products and she said, “I’m sure at some point we’ll need the whole thing.” Which has just added more fuel to the “Meg and Harry are gonna get preg really quickly” fire. But first they have to get married, and as it turns out, Meghan has invited her father:
Meghan Markle has invited her reclusive dad to her wedding — and he will beat his crippling shyness to walk her down the aisle. There were rumours 73-year-old Thomas Markle Sr. would be blanked after Meghan decided against asking half-brother Thomas Jr. and half-sister Samantha.
But a family friend told The Sun on Sunday: “Thomas Sr. is overjoyed to be beside his little girl on the day she becomes a princess — even if he has to battle his demons to get there. He’s not exactly thrilled at facing the world’s glare. He lives a reclusive life in Mexico. But nothing will stop him from having Meghan on his arm for the big day.”
Mom Doria Ragland, who divorced Thomas when Meghan was six, is also invited. Thomas Jr. missed out, and blamed a drunken bust-up with his fiancée. Samantha will be in Windsor for the May 19 wedding to Prince Harry — but as a guest of a TV channel.
Oh God, of course a TV channel is paying Samantha to do some kind of f–ked up commentary on the wedding. Poor Meghan. I hope she walks by Samantha and says into the wind, “I don’t know her.”
As for the baby-making plans, the Daily Mail’s Girl About Town had a tip about where Meghan and Harry could honeymoon:
It’s remote, barren and dangerous – yet news reaches me that Prince Harry has his heart set on a honeymoon in Namibia with Meghan Markle. Contrary to reports suggesting that he will whisk Meghan off to the Caribbean after the wedding on May 19, I hear Harry will instead turn to luxury lodge company Natural Selection to organise an adventure in the huge south-west African country. A source says Harry and Meghan have been advised to use a number of different lodges to keep people guessing about their whereabouts.
One of Natural Selection’s newest attractions is the Hoanib Valley Camp, a four-hour drive by car from the nearest town. The £500-a-night lodge is still being built – but, intriguingly, is due to be completed in May. The chances of bumping into hordes of camera-wielding tourists will be pretty remote in Namibia. It is one of the least populated places in the world, home to the highest sand dunes on the planet, and the deepest canyon in Africa. The indigenous population is the 50,000-strong Himba tribe.
I hear that Meghan’s hen party will be organised by Soho House group’s global membership director Markus Anderson. The group’s 300-year-old stately home Babington House in Somerset has emerged as a favourite to host the event.
I still believe that Harry proposed to Meghan in Zambia, despite their claim that he proposed over engagement chicken at Nottingham Cottage. It just seemed like that entire vacation in Zambia was designed for a proposal. Which makes me wonder… would he take her back to an African country for their honeymoon? Or would she rather just sit on a beach somewhere for a few weeks? While I would love to see Namibia, I’m not sure it’s the perfect honeymoon destination for two people trying to get knocked up right away.
