No mention of Lilibet on Royal Family website

[NaryFairy]

The royal family's website - Royal.uk - says that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have one child , Archie. I find this extraordinary. You'd think they have the staff to update a website. Are there any informed royal watchers out there who could explain this? Does a new addition to the family need to be introduced to the Queen before he/she is acknowledged?

If OS is so sure of himself I wonder why he has turned off his comments on Twitter ?

If OS is so sure of himself I wonder why he has turned off his comments on Twitter ?

Because he was on the receiving end of very nasty & some racist tweets and he felt like he shouldn’t tough it out?. And at least one RR was tagging him and inciting some of this?.

Racist abuse is 100% wrong however he does seem to be very selective about which tweets he turns off the comments .

From a UK perspective, they sound bitter and sour - and hellbent on revenge, which is never a good look. It's only a few levels up from Jeremy Kyle. That is likely to be their ongoing image here rather than their charity works.
However, very few of their charitable endeavours are still in the UK and undoubtedly the USA is their target audience. America is a large and diverse continent and its hard to get an impression of their reception outside the LA/Hollywood bubble. Most of their charitable donations are USA based charities, and the model of the foundation is understand there (whereas we go ???). They are selling a different type of RF image - but RF image it is regardless, which is why they are often criticised here. Hence the criticism of book - in effect, I started off as prince, concluding as the man I have become, but signed off Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex.

Yup.

when they know Harry is planning to release more crap and is waiting till the queen dies to release some kind of bomb shell

scrambledcustard can you provide a link that states Harry is releasing a bombshell when the Queen dies?

(The 4 book deal has been disproved in case that helps!)

Honestly I think both H&M are unhinged. I wonder what their kids will think when they grow up of their parents behaviour

How unfair.
I am sure without doubt they will be loving open parents. Calling them 'unhinged' does not make it so.

To posters' annoyance, I have to say... signing off as Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex is no different to SF signing off decades of books 'Duchess of York'.
And yes, she knocked the establishment just as much in books and an OW interview.
I know we don't like comparisons on here because it derails the agenda, but it's true.

I see that he has denied it rossette but doesn't mean that I believe it. They have both shown themselves to be attention hungry and liars.

Prince Harry said: “I’m writing this not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become. I’ve worn many hats over the years, both literally and figuratively, and my hope is that in telling my story—the highs and lows, the mistakes, the lessons learned—I can help show that no matter where we come from, we have more in common than we think. I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to share what I’ve learned over the course of my life so far and excited for people to read a firsthand account of my life that’s accurate and wholly truthful.”

This is what Harry said - ie what he is saying is that he is like everyone else (we have more in common) and that he is writing this not as the royal he was. So why then sign it off as Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex. How many people does he have life in common with when he signs off as a prince and duke??

Doesn’t that mean Harry is as bad as the Duchess of York if we are making comparisons? Also I think the point was that Harry said he was not “writing as the Prince he was born, but as the man he has become” and then signs himself “Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex”. I know he is entitled (literally) to do this, but it does seem a tad hypocritical. I think that was the point pp were making.

so yes, he is entitled to sign off as a prince and duke, but it makes him sound like a total hypocrite (again).
Harry, have faith in your convictions that you are one of the common people

I see that he has denied it rossette but doesn't mean that I believe it

OK. You have no proof. And call him a liar instead.
No bombshell. No book.

My understanding is that the 4 book deal has not been denied however what is being claimed is that there is no plan to issue a “ memoir” after HM dies .
As I said before it sounds like semantics and the problem with that is that people tie themselves in knots - like OS on Twitter about FF .

it will probably be called an autobiography - and therefore it's not a memoir
bit like Omid and his epilogue/extra chapters

My understanding is the opposite that was the Rebecca English headlines on the Daily Mail.

"Harry has a 4 book deal"

Clearly untrue.

This is what I mean by semantics

“A spokesperson for the Duke of Sussex refuted claims made in news reports that he would release four books, including one after the Queen dies.

They said: “Contrary to false media reports, there is only one memoir planned by The Duke of Sussex and it’s scheduled to be published in late 2022 as was announced earlier this week by Penguin Random House.”

To keep that doesn’t deny 4 books . Or am I missing something?

To me *

I just don't go round assuming the worst, focussing on one word 'memoir'.

So he brings out a childrens book or a cook book himself in 2 years time? Will everyone on here be doing a massive 'I told you so'... 'I knew he'd bring out another book' etc etc.

No.

It's the memoirs/autobiography/whatever you call it, that everyone gets worked up about. And there is just one, due end 2022.

And 'after the Queen dies' nonsense headline implicitly implies that it's dishing the dirt on the RF.
He has refuted that surely

It's been updated

@SallyLockheart

'Epilogue' . Oh Omid the shame.

When their official cheerleaders say 'no absolutely not that is never happening!' then say sheepishly 'ah yes it is but we're not calling it new chapters it's an epilogue' 🙄, it does make you wonder if the rebuttal over the 4 book deal will be backtracked on too.

'Oh no it isn't after the Queen's death we are releasing a new tell all silly! it's after the new King's coronation'. .

Honestly they must tie themselves in knots trying to remember who said what to whom.

perhaps it'll be a cultural difference - private wedding vows & marriage sort of thing

When their official cheerleaders say 'no absolutely not that is never happening!' then say sheepishly 'ah yes it is but we're not calling it new chapters it's an epilogue

Who are official cheerleaders and where have they said this??! Not on this thread.

Maybe you are reading it on Twitter or something?

It does make me laugh how much some posters are fixated on this 'after the Queen's death' made up story. Strange!
