I think that is very possible too.

I wonder whether Meghan and Harry have even been together enough to have had their first major argument? If so, how have they handled it?
I'm sure that Meghan is intelligent and kind and all those things, but I'm concerned about whether she's the right one for Harry, the future HRH Duke of Wherever.
As far as I'm concerned, a year-and-a-half of long-distance romance isn't long enough.
I think that Meghan should move to the UK several months before any engagement is announced and live there as a private citizen (i.e. not somewhere sheltered like a palace) to find out whether she really wants to live there long-term.
I'd hate to see Harry and Meghan marry and have a couple of children and then split up.
Time line for me: (well what seems practical)
-not engaged yet but are under understanding will soon be
-she moves in end of November under fiancé visa (6 months to wed)
-they spend the pre-season together, she goes home to see family for Christmas while he is at Sandringham
-meet up for a vacation between Christmas and New years, one year anniversary of first trip they took. Possibly proposal then.
-Scotland with his family for New Years to tell family. Announce early January
Wedding end of May. May 26 seems likely date:
-Saturday so no concerns for not being bank holiday
-weeks after Kate is due so no worry about baby or her not attending
-before all the big events in June
Also allows for a good honeymoon before June. They could go for a 10-12 day honeymoon and be back for Trooping. She could make her first official debut, after wedding, at Trooping of the color. She would be able to attend Trooping, Order of the Garter, and Ascot as his wife in June.
In October they make their first big trip abroad married, to Invictus in Australia.
I am leaning towards St. George's. 800 people is more then enough room for such a wedding. Likely have seats left open. Unlike the Cambridges there wont be hundreds of politicians and other figures that aren't personal guests. There may be some required guests but certainly not that many.
Why is Harry considered 'high maintenance', Lady Nimue, in direct contradiction to what most people who lived with him for months in service in Afghanistan and have worked in charities with him, have consistently said about him?
Neither he nor Meghan are high maintenance IMO or bad tempered or likely to demand the world. Nothing I've read about Harry (or Meghan for that matter) comes to that conclusion at all. He is regularly described as being down to earth, humble about his abilities and easy to work with.
Meghan has lived in London with Harry for weeks at a time at KP. The two of them would regularly have seen the best and the worst of each other.
They would have had literally hundreds of conversations IMO as to Britain, the BRF and personalities within it, what is required of Royal life etc, and Meghan would have seen how Harry deals with things at Invictus, and after coming home to KP after engagements. She's a good natured woman of common sense, I believe, as Harry is himself a very kind and sensible person.
Public persona is different from private persona. There is no reason to believe that Harry allowed his private persona to be observed in these circumstances. But let's agree to disagree.
P.S. Keep in mind that all these reports of Harry being a bonnie down-to-earth prince was a time, by Harry's own admission, when he was suffering keenly mentally and emotionally. Assume nothing.
Honestly, I really hate Harry's disclosure is being used this way against him. He shared it so that others wouldn't feel isolated in their struggles and seek help. Not so that people can pass judgment on people that's needed to seek help, which is part of what he's trying to combat.

They just announced the due date for Will and Kate's baby: April 2018. Harry and Meghan's wedding could fall between May and July.
Photo-op on St. George step is NOT like the balcony. We've all seen the wedding photos of the Wessexes and Peter and Autumn Phillips. Being in Windsor isn't going to take away the crowd gathering either, it could even cause crowd control issues being that it doesn't have the same capacity. Nor would it take away any of the risks associated with possible terror attack.If they do St George's you still get the family shot and the big kiss. You simply get it on the steps of the church like Edward and Sophie. The couple and their bridal party, and then the rest of the family, gathered on the steps. Photo op like the balcony. And then everyone watched as the couple took off in the carriage before the reception. Still get the public wedding, still filmed, still big kiss and parade. Simply not the craziness of London and higher security costs. And a church that would likely be nearly half empty as there is no way they need 1500 seats.
Just who announced this little tidbit of information and are the sources reliable? I don't think *any* source could be credible at this time as an engagement hasn't even been announced officially.
