Why do HARRY and MEGHAN write their INSTAGRAM posts with this WEIRD mix of words in block CAPITALS and others in standard script? It's very ODD.

There are some uncanny resemblances in the royal family.

Princess Anne is the double of her aunt Princess Mary when she was younger

*Great aunt even

I've always thought H was the spit of Philip. Never bought into n the Hewitt rumour.

He’s beginning to look more like Charles as he ages.

The resemblances in the RF are fascinating.

Edward in middle age looks the image of his mother when she was young.

Charles looks like her now.

William and Harry both have rangy physiques, either from Diana or Philip, but certainly not Charles.

And although each was perfectly presentable, none of the Windsor children inherited Philip's film star looks.

I think most of the Windsors, particularly as they age, resemble Mary of Teck.

Charlotte looks like the Queen.

Charlotte is very like the Queen Mother I think

Can't see it I'm afraid, lyra. I think Charlotte is pure William. The resemblance between them as toddlers is striking.

I agree, fleas. Charlotte resembles William.

It was a long time ago and I couldn't name the show but I recall watching a documentary about the royal mews and the horses. There was a groom with a striking resemblance to Prince Charles!.....

Although I love the similarities here.

Lady Louise looks very like the Queen. And Prince Michael looks like Nicholas II of Russia.

Interesting....

Can one take a rain check? Prince Harry puts US launch and citizenship on hold

An application for US citizenship would require Harry to renounce his titles and would also expose him to US taxation on his earnings worldwide. It is not known whether he entered America under the 90-day visa waiver programme available to most Britons or whether he has a diplomatic or other special visa. Tourist visas forbid visitors from working.

He would also have to renounce all allegiance to the UK, including its sovereign. The text of the US oath of allegiance is here-

So is it not possible to have dual nationality then, if you're a naturalised American?

America doesn’t prohibit dual citizenship. But taking the oath makes that tricky, doesn’t it?

Looking back at family similarities, Harry's got the very close set eyes of his father and grandfather.

Thanks for the link to the oath, Winterlife.

That would strongly suggest US citizenship is not going to be an option for Harry. I understood he would have had to renounce his titles in Canada too. Jeez, he's got himself in a right mess, hasn't he?

In Canada, Harry would not have to renounce his title. He just wouldn’t be allowed to use it, officially, as a Canadian citizen.

His title - sorry: Title - would seem to be his USP.

The generous invitation to "Call me 'Harry'" wouldn't be particularly newsworthy if it was answered with "What else would we call you? Al?".
If they were Paul Simon fans or something.

Ah, right. Thanks for the clarification. Canada would have suited him better, in many respects.

The Times readers 'comments seem to be a fair reflection of what's being said on here (other than on the Appreciation thread)

Thank you for those articles Winterlife & Timelady & for the share token.

I laughed when reading that Meghan had called Trump ‘divisive’. Pot & kettle & all that or maybe just takes one to know one.

I don’t think Harry will be wanting to give up his title any time soon. Think it will seem like a loss of identity.
