Prince Henry talks on the radio about what his first parties with his fiancée were like and assures that they still don't know if they are going to invite the Obamas to their wedding
Since Henry of England announced his engagement to Meghan Markle he is no longer so jealous of her privacy. What's more, in an interview broadcast this Wednesday, the prince was encouraged to talk about the first Christmas he spent with his fiancée, dates that he described as "fantastic" and that they spent in the company of Queen Elizabeth II and the rest.
During his appearance on the British radio station BBC Radio 4, where he participated this Wednesday as a guest editor, he not only interviewed, he also had to answer questions. And his upcoming marriage has sparked a lot of interest both in British society and in the media around the world, where the couple is in the news practically every day. So it is not surprising that Markle's first Christmas parties, who have attended both Buckingham Palace and the residence of the British sovereign in Sandringham, are one of the topics that sparks the most curiosity on these dates.
Asked, in a relaxed tone, how the experience of meeting the "in-laws" had been for his girlfriend, Enrique responded that he had been "fantastic" and added that Markle had had a "really good time." Asked by presenter Sarah Montague about what a real Christmas is like, he commented that he and his partner had stayed those days together with his brother, Guillermo, and his sister-in-law, Kate, at the Anmer Hall residence, in Norfolk, near the Sandringham property of Elizabeth II. "We have really enjoyed staying with my brother and sister-in-law and playing with the children [Prince George and Princess Charlotte, children of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge]. It has been a fantastic Christmas," he said.
She has also had to teach some of her traditions to the American actress: "She thinks we have one of the biggest families I know and each family is complex. But she has been absolutely wonderful. I guess it's the family she never had," he observed about his fiancée. The bride and groom were photographed in a relaxed and smiling attitude on their way to the Church of Saint Magdalene, where they attended the traditional Christmas religious service led by Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh on the 25th.
In addition to the interview, who is fifth in line to the British throne has worked as a journalist and interviewed, among others, former US president Barack Obama, with whom he spoke about various issues of social interest such as mental health or the Forces. Armed. So this Wednesday there were jokes about whether Barack Obama, a friend of the prince for years, has been invited to the royal wedding, to which Henry of England replied: "I don't know, we haven't even sent invitations or the guest list, "Who knows if he'll be invited or not, I'm not going to spoil the surprise."
The Sun newspaper was quick to assure that if the couple invites the Obamas, before Donald Trump, current president of the United States, meets Queen Elizabeth II, he will surely "react very badly." So much so, that several British media outlets report that many advisers to Theresa May's Government have recommended that she not invite the Obamas, for fear of the US president's possible reaction.
Markle and Harry's wedding, which will take place on May 19 at Windsor Castle, is not a state party, meaning there won't be too many foreign dignitaries or heads of state, as there were at William's wedding. and Kate, in 2011 —although on that occasion Obama, who was president of the United States at the time, was not invited. So if Enrique refrains from inviting Trump, he would not be breaking protocol either.
