The future princess of Great Britain is a KKG

How did I not know this? I’ve been watching “Suits” since day 1.

I squealed when I saw the headline that they are engaged!!!

I just read that in an article and thought "Maybe she can pull some strings for Princess Margaret after all these years!"

edited: got the wrong Princess, and sadly Margaret has already passed.

Here's her portrait from the 2000-2001 composite.

Wonder if the Chicago Sun-Times reads GC. Hmmm.

Not sure how you referenced that from this article? Is Stefano a GC member? Or maybe Meghan was the KKG poster listed as from Great Britain who posted in GC for awhile?

Here's a picture of her in a Kappa shirt

Pardon for the crash, right after their engagement, and I heard she's a KKG, my first thought was of the book A Southern Belle Primer: Why Princess Margaret (Paris Hilton 2nd edition) Will Never Be a Kappa Kappa Gamma.

What’s Kappa’s legacy policy? Will Princess Charlotte (William and Kate’s daughter) be considered a legacy since she will be Meghan’s niece?

Legacies can be a daughter, sister, granddaughter or great-granddaughter. I don't know of any sorority who considers a niece as a legacy.

Actually at least two NPC sororities consider nieces as legacies, Sigma Kappa and Alpha Xi Delta.

Theta Phi Alpha does, as well, as of our most recent convention in 2016. :)

I doubt that legacy status would be needed! :)

I could be wrong, but the last I heard, Kappa had one of the less-inclusive legacy policies. I'll bow to the Kappas about it, however.

BTW, I doubt that Meghan will ever be a princess. She'll will be much like Prince William's wife, a Duchess. Should she and Prince Harry have children, they will be princes and princesses, however.

I'm not a Kappa, but I looked at their website to find what their policy is - I also looked up the polices of the sororities of all the women in my family which includes Kappa. Per your comment, Kappa actually does not have a particularly restrictive policy, however, that is true of Chi Omega.

Legacy policies per their national website:

Kappa Kappa Gamma: Great-granddaughter, granddaughter, daughter or sister

Chi Omega: Daughter or sister

Tri Delta: Daughter, sister, step-daughter, step-sister

Kappa Delta: Granddaughter, daughter, sister

Gamma Phi: Great-granddaughter, granddaughter, daughter, sister. (Step- daughter and step-sister also if the relative requests it).

I'm sure if Princess Charlotte went to a North American uni and rushed she wouldn't have any problems. ;) Can you imagine having Meghan, Duchess of So and So write your rec? Are there any other Panhel women in royal families or peerage?

I know that Prince Albert of Monaco joined a fraternity but has anyone heard of a princess from a reigning or non-reigning house that has joined a GLO?

The British and their technicalities. When they marry, she could go by the title Princess Henry of Wales (see Princess Michael of Kent), but being given a title is more prestigious. Hence Duke & Duchess of Cambridge.

Prince Albert joined Chi Psi while studying at Amherst.

Legacies
 

Tri Sigma's policy on legacies is :

"Tri Sigma defines a legacy as a sister, daughter, granddaughter, niece, step-daughter, or step- mother of a Sigma Sigma Sigma."

Princess Martha of Sweden was an alumna initiate of Delta Zeta.

Thought you'd appreciate this video of Meghan's reaction when she saw a group of Kappas from the London alumnae association in the crowd singing "Oh Pat" to her. : )

Awwwww!

That's great! Love this!

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, now has her own coat of arms!! I see several KKG fleur-de-lis on it, but sadly, no keys.

No, but she took ideas from her background, home state and activism...here's a clip from a local NYC newspaper that outlined what the various colors and symbols mean - I think it's pretty neat!

From the NY POST:

“Her Royal Highness worked closely with the College of Arms throughout the design process to create a Coat of Arms that was both personal and representative,” the palace said about the LA native.

“The blue background of the shield represents the Pacific Ocean off the California coast, while the two golden rays across the shield are symbolic of the sunshine of The Duchess’s home state,” it added.

“The three quills represent communication and the power of words.”

Markle, a self-described feminist and former actress, chose to emblazon her coat of arms with a songbird, “with wings elevated as if flying and an open beak, which with the quill represents the power of communication.”

On the opposite side of the bird stands a lion that reperesents Harry.

Under the shield on the grass lies a collection of golden poppies – California’s state flower – and wintersweet, which grows at Kensington Palace.

Crown Princess Martha of Norway and her lady-in-waiting, Countess Ragni*Ostgaard, were alumna initiates of Delta Zeta.

Is it a coincidence that the Harry & Meghan cypher is this color of blue?

Royal blue, no less, with fleurs-de-lis on the crown, too!

I’m a Kappa, and I believe that the blue and Fleurs-de-Lis are strictly coincidental. Both show up in the cyphers of several other royal couples.

You're right - totally coincidental. I read in other places that Harry's monogram was already this shade of blue and as explained in the first link, it was used in Charles and Diana's monogram along with other royals' monograms. The crown was used, among others, in Andrew and Sarah's monogram.

Neat coincidence, however!

With all the chatter about the now-Duchess and her Prince of a husband, I thought I'd resurrect this thread.

Have your thoughts about the excitement of an American "princess" changed over the past eight years? Has she (and the husband) lived up to our expectations? Has their move to the United States changed your viewpoint of them? Other thoughts?

Originally I was happy this couple. I was glad that Prince Harry that he'd found someone who initially appeared to be eager to learn about and take on the role of a senior member of the British Royal Family.
However, the couple's words and actions over the last eight years have definitely changed my view of both of them.

^^^what she said.

Honestly, I’m glad they got the hell away from the Royal Family. With all the negativity and drama that have come out since with former Prince Andrew/Epstein connections along with his family and—sadly—Kate’s cancer battle, I don’t think it was a good place to begin a marriage or raise children. Some of the British press were SO HATEFUL to Megan and eventually to Harry, too. After all, several family members were concerned about “how dark” their babies might be. And then there was “Queen” Camilla who was throwing tidbits of gossip about the couple to the British press to keep them off her.

I think Harry always blamed the press’s insatiable desire for “dirt” on the family for chasing down his mother and causing her death. So he was happy to escape. Megan was also suffering from depression and the palace would not allow her to seek any help that would have caused “negative” publicity.

Saying all this I’m sure there is blame on both sides, but now and then I think the romance of the British Royals is losing some of its luster.

Harry and Meghan
 

All of this.

The level of toxic the royals in general inflict on each other is just beyond.
My opinion of the two of them has not changed, I think they are dealing with the cards that were delt to them.

I completely agree with PGD Grad and NinjaPoodle.
