I mean I probably wouldn’t spend months slagging off my family very publicly, then give my newborn daughter my great-grandmothers family nickname. But that’s just me.

Pleased for them the baby is here safe & well.

We don’t know what went on. I suspect Charles has been struggling with Harry for years. The RF have been smoothing over the traces and putting out positive PR on him for years . Now he’s out of the fold we see him for what he is. Immature, ungrateful, self absorbed and with absolutely no judgement or loyalty.

I’m not saying Britain isn’t racist and doesn’t have a massive racist history btw. Just that I think a lot of US people lack the context to understand the dynamics here and their contributions to the conversation aren’t actually helpful as a result.

What context & dynamic? Are you saying some of the press directed at Meghan isn't racist?

ElonanotAlone · 06/06/2021 20:57

Megan craves attention. Some times you just cant take the Hollywood wannabe out of the girl. When will Megan just fade into the background as promised.

Feel sorry for the Queen and Royal family putting up with these antics, disgraceful.

ArmoireArmy · 06/06/2021 20:57

“Mountbatten-Windsor IS Harry's real actual name“

“ As a Prince, he doesn’t actually have a formal last name.”

Germolenequeen · 06/06/2021 20:57

Disrespectful & attention seeking IMO 🤨

I know The Duke having pancreatic cancer to be true, everyone on fleet street knew. I don’t reveal my sources though so you might actually have to use google

Yet more disrespect for his privacy and that of his family, @ArmoireArmy

Did you just google that or do you have an actual source?

BreakingtheIce · 06/06/2021 20:58

@Serenster

Here you go again. You are so deeply misinformed, *@ArmoireArmy* . Mountbatten-Windsor IS Harry's real actual name. Please check the facts before posting as you have a habit of embarrassing yourself.

Not true, CokeDrinker. Harry was enrolled at Eton and was in the Army as Harry Wales, not Harry Mountbatten Windsor. As a Prince, he doesn’t actually have a formal last name.

Yes both Harry and William used the surname Wales. So when did they become MW?
mathanxiety · 06/06/2021 20:59

As a Prince, he doesn’t actually have a formal last name.

He does, and Prince Philip fought hard for the compromise name that was eventually rolled out for use.

Roussette · 06/06/2021 20:59

Serenster I copied from the official Royal website that Mountbatten-Windsor is the name that the Queen has agree that anyone in the RF can use should they need a surname.

And obviously Archie, and now Lili does need a surname. I think (but feel free to correct me) that 'Wales' was not an official surname, just how they referred to Harry in the Army.

TruelyStruttingHotpants · 06/06/2021 20:59

Lily is a nice name. They should have just stuck with that. Lilibet is dreadful even if they don't plan to use it often. The whole name is just a bit try hard and not really worth it. The baby is not a chess piece after all.

dorangme · 06/06/2021 20:59

I should think all of it makes her very sad.

I'm sure it does, nonetheless my point still stands.

AwaAnBileYerHeid · 06/06/2021 21:00

I think they have a cheek 'honouring' the Queen after shitting on her and the entire family.

@SenecaFallsRedux

Only HM's parents and Prince Philip called her Lilibet.

This is not true. She was called Lilibet by anyone who was on a first name basis with her, which was actually quite a few people: her many Strathmore cousins, Philip's family, including Lord Mountbatten and his wife and daughters, a few close friends, Princess Margaret and her children, etc.

Also Philip did call her "cabbage" as a play on its French counterpart "mon petit chou."

Seriously, some of y'all need to read some biographies.

Yes and this was also shown by the condolence notes from random European royals and acquaintances addressed to dearl Lilibet, cousin Lilibet etc.

But these are just inconvenient facts which get in the way of a good frothing.

Just like pretending that Lilibet and Lili are not actual names or that the child shouldn't be allowed to have her father's name if the parents enables some people to escalate their blood pressure prescriptions.

smilesy · 06/06/2021 21:01

@ArmoireArmy. I googled and all I could find was that it was rumoured that he had prostate cancer, which is not uncommon in older gentlemen and it is perfectly possible to live with this for quite a while. 🤷‍♀️

C8H10N4O2 · 06/06/2021 21:01

"if the parents so wish" not "if the parents"

CokeDrinker · 06/06/2021 21:01

@ArmoireArmy

There were rumours he had PROSTATE cancer. No one has ever mentioned Pancreatic cancer. I myself have Pancreatic issues, and am on and in groups for it, Google Alerts etc. If he had any Pancreatic cancer, it would have come out. You don't know anything. You were caught out making up an out and out absurd lie, @ArmoireArmy .
CharlieBoo · 06/06/2021 21:02

@AwaAnBileYerHeid totally agree the pair of them are twisted

To quote the user “derxa” on the 17th of April, 2021. “ CokeDrinker would start a row in an empty house “

Agree, I think the whole Epstein thing was shocking & incredibly damaging.

Roussette · 06/06/2021 21:03

I have never ever heard of PPhilip and pancreatic cancer in the same sentence.
He had I believe an angioplasty at a ripe old age and lived to 99 and died of old age.
I think it's wrong to say this when it's not official.
