Meghan Markle Decided To Follow Princess Diana And Fergie: She Won't 'Obey' Prince Harry
25 K
In 1981, Princess Diana brought an end to a wedding tradition, which made brides vow to ‘obey’ their husbands in marriage. She refused to stick to the archaic custom, thus starting the modern transformation of the royal family.

Sarah Ferguson followed Diana’s example when marrying Prince Andrew in 1986. Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle did the same.
It might’ve been an act of going against royal rules back in 1981, but today, not vowing to obey to your groom is a common practice.

It’s said that ‘obeying’ part was previosly used by the church in line with the old notion that men owned their women.
But we all live in the modern world, and the church openly supports the contemporary vows.

After all, Meghan and Harry did promise themselves for one another "for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part”.

Twitter speaks out
Despite the fact that most royal brides do not include ‘obey’ in their vows for almost thirty years now, people continue to express their support of such decision.
Order of Service is out. And there will be no obeying. Which is kinda no surprise for this particular bride #HarryandMeghan https://t.co/tvTDyfpeCi

Prince Harry will wear a wedding ring, his personal decision.. And Meghan Markle will not vow to ‘obey’ Prince Harry – a recent royal tradition…
They will pledge " to love and to cherish, till death us do part”. #RoyalWedding #fb

Meghan Markle will walk a bit down the aisle herself before being joined by Prince Charles.
Secondly she will not use or say the word OBEY in her vows to Prince Harry.#gomeghan #MeghanAndHarry— Beautiful Flower (@IdodeLexie) 19 мая 2018 г.
People should have what they want in their vows..nothing wrong way that as long as they are both happy about it 🇬🇧🇬🇧

Well, it’s a choice. In. Millennium era, woman encouraged to move forward just like a men. But Meghan should do the wife’s job because that is our duty as a women that we cannot ignore.

Do you think the tradition should stand no matter what?
