Omid Scodie says Meghan was wrong about Archie becoming a prince at birth

He has publicly stated that Meghan was incorrect about her understanding of the protocol around Archie becoming a Prince.

Considering Omid seems to the M & H unofficial spokesperson, it is more than likely that Meghan now realises this is the case and his skin colour would not have been a deciding factor in it.

it does make you wonder why Harry did not explain it to her ? did he just not have a clue about about Royal protocol and succession, maybe he never needed to understand it. . Or was he so desperate to get her to marry him that he fed her a load of bull, i.e. our kids will be princesses and princes. Did he hope he could convince the queen to change protocol for his family?

Please don't get this thread deleted with comments which MN don't like, I am beginning to suspect there are posters who purposely troll M & H threads to ensure MN will delete them, so there is never a discussion allowed to stand..

My only dislike of "Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex" is that it makes her sound like the ex-wife of the Duke.

It is cringeworthy yes. As was 'Budgie'. That's all we need to say on the matter. If you want to buy a copy, go right ahead. If not, don't.

'It sounds like a lovely thing to do seeing as she will be having a baby soon and Archie is still very young'

Yes it's darling isn't it. About a father and son. Can't wait to see a poem or book about fathers and their daughters..

"One book from Meghan that hasn't been published yet so you don't know what she will call herself."

We do know what she has called herself, though.

Might not be long given they're having a daughter soon. Grin

mermaidsariel · 04/05/2021 19:50

Why doesn't she drop the Duchess bit when she has utter contempt for the RF? It's cringemaking.

Roussette · 04/05/2021 19:50

Andy
When I typed that, I didn't know.

Now I do. Thanks for the picture.

No 'HRH like Sarah's books then.

toffeebutterpopcorn · 04/05/2021 19:51

Hmmmm. Stepping away from the work but keeping the title? I must remember that when I hand in my notice...

Roussette · 04/05/2021 19:52

Sarah did a tell all book about the RF. And going by the reviews it was not complimentary. . Didn't stop her using the Duchess title and HRH on the childrens books.

derxa · 04/05/2021 19:52

Who on earth buys these books? Prince Charles started it with The Old Man of Lochnagar.

Roussette · 04/05/2021 19:53

She's not using something she shouldn't. Don't get your point. There's no HRH.

SueSaid · 04/05/2021 19:54

'Might not be long given they're having a daughter soon'

Yes that was my point Confused

Wouldn't it be a hypocritical stretch even by their standards to write about fathers and daughters when she dumped hers for doing exactly what they did, blabbing to the media?!

Roussette · 04/05/2021 19:55

I'd forgotten Charles's books! He's written a fair few.

Yup!!!! Very cringe. Or more accurately hypocritical.

Superfans. I bet Scobie will be booking his slots on daytime telly as we speak to promote it.

Nice thing to do yes but will anyone read it? Hummmmm. Has anyone here listened to the Spotify podcasts they are doing?
JustLyra · 04/05/2021 19:57

I'm sure at least the first book was written while Sarah was still married so HRH The Duchess of York would have been right.

I don't dare fall down the rabbit hole of getting into looking for all the dates as I'll end up there all night clicking on one thing after another!

I think I'm right in saying that the books she wrote before she was divorced have HRH in the title, but the others are just Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York - presumably as she did lose the HRH on divorce, as did Diana.
Roussette · 04/05/2021 20:00

There's at least 60 of them. The first couple maybe. Not the rest. They are prolific!

I'm not sure, but the profits go to The Prince's Trust, so in a good cause!
Roussette · 04/05/2021 20:04

Maybe, I don't know. There is
Dining with the Duchess
Dieting with the Duchess
Reinventing yourself with the Duchess
and so on

JustLyra · 04/05/2021 20:04

Budgie came on tv in Jan 1994. The Yorks split in 92 and divorced in 96.

I'd guess a good number of the Budgie books must have been written before it came on tv surely?

JustLyra · 04/05/2021 20:06

As an aside only on Mumsnet could I need to double check my interpretation of the Titles Deprivation act and the release date of Budgie the little helicopter on the same day!

Maybe I should 😂

I just wish random stuff wouldn’t bug me all night so I could just say “I don’t know” rather than having to Google 😂
