Let’s establish a few things about annulment first.
One, some people have said that Meghan was in a civil union/common-law marriage with Cory when she started up with Harry. I think the basis for this is that a lot of articles state that if you live together for a year in Canada while in a relationship that means you’re considered a common-law marriage/civil union. However, when I did some internet research, I found that provinces can regulate it. Toronto is in Ontario, and Ontario states that it must be a continuous relationship while living together for three years. Cory and Megs were only together for two years, so obviously that doesn’t qualify.
Two, what I found when researching annulments in the UK, is that there are 1) not legally valid marriages (”void”), and 2) defective (”voidable”) marriages.


So, since there is no reason the marriage between Harry and Megs is not legally valid, if Harry wants to annul this marriage, then he would have to go for a reason that the marriage is defective.
- No one is going to believe that this marriage wasn’t consummated when they couldn’t keep their hands off each other during the wedding.
- Megs definitely wasn’t pregnant by another man.
- It’s going to be damn hard to prove that Harry didn’t properly consent to the marriage when they gave Megs a tour of the UK with all those engagements.
- But “the other person had a sexually transmitted disease when you got married” option I think could be a winner! All they would need to do is have Meg’s sex tape released with lots references to her yachting past (”for a good time call X”) and there are LOTS of people who would be a) shocked and b) might even feel slightly sorry for Harry. (Although I think listing a STD as a reason for an annulment is kind of dumb personally.)
Three, looking for basis of annulments in the Church of England I didn’t come up with as much as I thought I could. I was basically able to find this:

So basically it sounds to me that if Harry can get this marriage legally annulled, then the Church of England will be able to annul it on religious grounds.
I don’t have as much time today to go into things as well as I’d like, but I do think the possibility of annulment exists here. I agree with AHPF’s mom that this relationship will be over after the honeymoon. As other people have noted, Harry wants a wife and kids and actually seems to have some love for Megs. Megs seems to love her new status and all the moolah and jewels coming her way. I do think the fact that Megs didn’t say “I love you” in the engagement interview is going to come back and bite her in the ass this summer.
I don’t expect the UK press to start taking serious potshots at these two until after Ascot. It could totally happen before that, but I think that most of the press will let them have a honeymoon period first. Also, the Trooping of the Colour is not too far away. Prince Louis will have his christening soon. Zara will probably have her baby (babies?) soon. There are several positive, happy events happening within the next 5-6 weeks, so no need to publish Meg’s past when you have readers willingly clicking on positive articles on the royal family.
But here are some dates of interest that we can take a look and start to gauge things this year:
- The last full week of June (24-30): Look to see if Harry is treating Megs differently, and if Harry is dishing out cutting remarks about his wife. Maybe he’ll just be mad at Megs draining out his bank accounts by buying shit all the time.
- 22 July to 04 August: IF there is going to be an annulment, then we will have to see signs of it here I think.
- 10 to 23 October: IF it is going to be an annulment, then I would expect it to be completed maybe around this time frame. (No one is going to go for an annulment years down the road.) If it’s going to be a divorce, then perhaps papers will be filed around this time frame.
