It certainly is!

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/bob-dole-makes-senate-endorsement-as-gop-scrambles-to-block-kris-kobach Overall on balance a wise decision I feel to keep him on the list.

I was convinced that they would have two children together but now I think its likely it will just be Archie. Part of me feels sorry for Prince Harry. I think he is foolish and in for a rude awakening from his bubble.For now infatuation will protect him from reality but that is highly time limited. Another part of me thinks he is a selfish spoilt brat and deserves the hostility and criticism he is receiving. I do reckon the royal family and especially the Queen are expecting his marriage to hit the buffers at some point and want to keep the door open to then welcoming him back in the future. Hence the carefully chosen warm words from the Queen recently.
