What happened to just call me Harry? Why would they want their children to be burdened with titles?

“When reached by PEOPLE, a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said: "I can confirm that Princess Lilibet Diana was christened on Friday, March 3 by the Archbishop of Los Angeles, the Rev John Taylor."

No wonder, Harry's had a look at his families history and gone WTAF - I'm out

Grasping a title in order to grift from Netflix =/= "out" though.

Good for them.

SighsTheNewWord · 08/03/2023 15:22

Oh sorry never mind my last post. I see that other posters have said something. I didn't realise I was a page or 2 too late.

The Royal Family website hasn't changed: www.royal.uk/succession

H&M's attention seeking aside, how is a non blood relation higher in the succession line that a real princess? Isn't no.10 B's step daughter?

The line of Succession
SOVEREIGN

  1. The Prince of Wales
  2. Prince George of Wales
  3. Princess Charlotte of Wales
  4. Prince Louis of Wales

@Eyerollcentral , I'm sure both you and your friend had lovely names and I find it really sad when people change them to more English sound names because others are too lazy to learn how to pronounce them properly!
Anyway don't want to derail further 👍

God, how many times do I have to repeat myself. I saw 'Chuck' once. I didn't realise I should've immediately pulled that poster up, according to you. That I am at fault for not doing that.
I get what you're doing too.

Did you pull the poster up on Meagain?
No thought not.

I don't pull up the poster on Chuck either. Or those who used to say Liz. I already explained why.

ancientgran · 08/03/2023 15:24

Sweetpeasaremadeforbees · 08/03/2023 14:26

I assumed the whole name confusion on here started because one poster maybe mistyped Meghan as Meagain. Another poster thought this was meant to be a dig at M (Me-again) and so responded in M's defence?

Or am I talking bollocks!?

I have no idea. I just think it is odd that people say Catherine changed her name, I've seen her criticised for it as being a diva ordering people to call her Catherine. I mean it's her name, I would imagine she has been called both at various times by various people but nothing odd about it and even more strange to insist Meghan's name is Meghan when her given name is Rachel. I mean if she can choose to use her middle name why can't Catherine use her real name? Well I know why, someone wants to make a thing about her "changing" her name. With Meghan I don't know if it was a mistake or people misnaming her for a reason, if it's the second it isn't nice is it.

They can both choose how they wish to be known, I've never used my full first name, when I hit my teens I refused to answer to the shortening of my name that my family all used (although my mother used it till her dying day) and chose to use another common shortening, so think it would be like if my name is Elizabeth, family called me Betty and I chose to be Liz. Nothing odd about it.

MarshaMelrose · 08/03/2023 15:16

I think she wears nice clothes, nothing stunning, pretty run of the mill, but I prefer her style to Kate's. The problem with Meghans clothes is they, and her bras, often don't seem to fit. And it looks like she's overwhelmed by them. That's why she looks better in slim trousers and a blouse - clean, fitted lines suit her best. She wore a lovely yellow, below knee, shift dress once. No waistline. Perfect colour and shape for her.

That yellow dress was so perfect on her, really accentuated her figure and was modern but elegant. I do agree re the bra issue too, I mean it can be hard to get a properly fitting one on a budget but M hasn’t got that problem. I dislike being able to see underwear lines through clothes and I do feel like I’ve seen her bra through clothes almost as often as I have seen my own.

10. Miss Sienna Mapelli Mozzi 11. Princess Eugenie, Mrs. Jack Brooksbank

No - Sienna is Beatrice's bio daughter.

She also has a step-son 'Wolfie' who is about four years old.

Not step daughter. Sienna is Beatrice's daughter.

She has a stepson-I think called Wolfie-not in the line of succession but a Prince Wolfie would be fabulous

MrsMitford3 · 08/03/2023 15:27

Haha @wordler great minds...

wordler · 08/03/2023 15:28

So the full titles will be:

Prince Archie of Sussex
Princess Lilibet of Sussex

I assume for school they'll stick with Archie Mountbatton Windsor or maybe change to Archie Sussex like the traditional royals do??

Teentaxidriver · 08/03/2023 15:29

Missing the point there Jennifer. It isn’t about literal entitlement, it’s about the way they styled their departure. But as lots have noted, this is to do with the merchandise and monetising being royal. I wonder if they have copyrighted their children’s names yet.

No I'm not saying that but folks on here are baying to disown Harry for his peccadilloes and impertinence but in a different era one who was to become a senior member of the Royal family thought it fit and was advised so to do to attend the funeral of his sister who was married to a senior Nazi who were undoubtedly the most evil government in human history.

And let's not mention Edward 8th traitorous communications with said Nazis and invocation that the Germans should bomb the British into submission. He should have been hung a traitor, as was Lord Haw Haw, but royals have the get out of jail card, just ask Andrew. No wonder, Harry's had a look at his families history and gone WTAF - I'm out.

Well I'm sure if he'd known at 16 that he would one day be a senior member of the royal family he'd have made a different decision or then again maybe not as he had precious little family life so the sister he was close to was probably someone he'd care about.

Of course as an adult he served honourably in the Royal Navy so maybe that was his get out of jail card.

Let it drop. There's only you thinking you're coming out of this well.

HairDoHairDont · 08/03/2023 15:33

@MrsMitford3 @wordler Thank you for clarifying.

clyspa · 08/03/2023 15:37

Some posters (we all know which ones)

Harry could piss on you and you'd still be like some sad fan

Fuck me

LavenderHillMob · 08/03/2023 15:39

But but but... you don't christen anyone by their title or surname, just their Christian names. I don't get it.

Surely it's just Lidl Bonus Bargains and Aldi Aisle Crap, not Prince Aldi and Princess Lidl?

Howsimplywonderful · 08/03/2023 15:39

I just read that their bishop used to be Nixon’s chief of staff 😀

Jazzandblues · 08/03/2023 15:39

Wow reading all of this vitriol, one can understand why harry and Meghan left the country. They know none of you and are making bank either way.

Marvellous! Well done on the research, another way to criticise them, bingo!

one who was to become a senior member of the Royal family

PP was sixteen at the time. How did he know he was going to become a senior member of the RF? Was he actually psychic? Was he supposed to know about the Holocaust five years ahead of time, too? Perhaps he could have warned Lindbergh and Henry Ford, saved them some awkwardness about their associations with the Nazis.

I think it was their spokesman who used her title, presumably on the instructions of H&M.
