  - The last chance for our sport to be popular is lost as she wanted to run the marathon and the Queen doesn't approve. 'Unseemly.'
    
    How fast would she have run?

  - I agree with the decision.
    
    She might be halfway into the marathon until she encounters one of the “pound her brains out to the ground” types.
    
    Hobby joggers are the real problem.
    
    I also remember a story of a hobby jogger experiencing road rage - literally if you are in his way, he would literally throw you to the ground.

  - Shame. But I guess the royals want to keep the mysterious aura around the family and not be seen as "part of the people".

  - No need for the Queen to worry about clothing issues. Markle could dress up like a member of the Royal Family and be one of those ridiculous "in costume" characters.
    
    Maybe she could set a World Record for someone dressed as a Princess.

    Considering the last three marriages gave been to commoners and Diana/Charles cheated just like the rest of us, I think they killed that awhile ago.

  - She should run it virtually on a treadmill from inside the castle.

  - Madonna used to run in Central Park with body guards. Meghan is big, but not as big as Madonna was.

  - Leaving aside the queen’s stuffy response, this would be an almost impossible task for a security team. Imagine how many runners would want to run as close as possible to her. And even if they gave her a 100 meter cushion in front and back, imagine how many more spectators would show up. They’d have to secure 26 Miles with the tightest security imaginable. Unfortunately the treadmill idea would be much more realistic.....and they could show her live with a dressed-up car on the course showing where she is in real time. But the queen would probably still need to approve.

  - Lance ran a marathon without problems. Oprah too.
    
    Rossi did and no one even saw him.
    
    The Royals need to go, poof, disbanded. What a crock.

  - Disbanding the british royal family is like banning celebrities from being famous.

  - Security nightmare. Wouldn't be prudent.

  - After learning most of all the "royal" rules by now ( I would hope), did she honestly think running in a crowd of thousands will be allowed? Come on - she's distraught. LOL? This shouldn't be a surprise. Its a security nightmare. Wonder if she really knows what she got herself into in terms of any freedom by marrying into this family. This is just the beginning.

  - I read others articles that also pointed out the security issues involved.
    
    Then I remember The Crown where Margaret is out on the town with no security at all. (No idea how accurate that was).

  - That race is huge, I bet if she wore sunglasses no one would even recognize her. Ohpra is far more recognizable and she ran Marine Corps with just 2 handlers.

  - Yawn,
    
    Now if she did it with a fridge on her back I'd watch.

  - would anybody even recognize her? don't wear a vanity bib with your name on it, wear a hat and shades and dress like a normal runner. wear tights and a singlet if bunhuggers and a sports bra are too unbecoming of her or something.
    
    hell if i walked by her on the street i wouldn't recognize her, perhaps i'd check her out because she's hot, but I'd think she was just some rando hot girl.
    
    have security dude or two (also dressed like runners with normal bibs) run near her and it's all good.
