Lilibet christened and will be using the title Princess

[miri1985]

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."

I have a theory on this one….

I reckon he said to her something like ‘We wanted to name the baby after you’
and she was expecting ‘Elizabeth’ and then it was announced Lilibet, and she was all ‘WTAF?!?’

Well, that, or Harrys just lying again.

Totally agree.

The irony is t lost on those claiming that using titles is meaningless etc when the same people are quick to correct people saying Kate Middleton should be addressed as Princess Catherine etc.

So many anti H&M posters on the MN thread are beyond salvation. They are plainly insular little flag wavers. There is no point trying to reason. Leave them in their cesspit.

Anyway referring back to the poster who wanted to know "Where is Meghan"

Now we know, she was busy preparing for their daughter's christening.

That is a wild guess by the way and probably wrong, I don't pretend I have any idea what they are doing with whom when and how.

Yet another example of M contradicting herself.

I actually think the title Prince / Princess is a burden, and a poor parenting decision by Harry and Meghan. I think Ann and Edward had the right idea.

The tide is turning, people are waking up to the inherent entrenched privilege and undemocratic nature of the British Royal Family. The monarchy died with the late Queen, but it may take some time for the ongoing drama to play out. #notmyking

Yes Vera, your favourites are rather telling on themselves and their values, I agree.

That aside, imagine coming onto a thread on a parenting forum to be nasty and judgy about a baby.

Oh come on! I know Meghan‘s supporters go to extreme lengths, but surely suggesting anyone is “judging” a child barely old enough to ask for a biscuit, rather than the parents who have actually made the choice about this title, is borderline insane.

I think it's pretty shitty that not one of the crap four made an effort to come, yet they expect Harry to jump when he's called for the big Corona thingy.

I love the idea that the sovereign and heir to the throne can just have a flick through Skyscanner and say “Ooh, this one isn’t too bad - we’d have to get up early, but I suppose we could always see how much a Travelodge by the airport is”. And why is it expecting Harry to jump when they send an invitation, but not the reverse for the christening? (That’s before you even consider the ridiculousness of comparing a christening with the first UK coronation in 70 years.)

didn't Tyler Perry say he didn't want to see the RF?

“He” as in Harry? Or is a godparent dictating the guest list now?

There will be table flipping in a minute

The minute you use a Daily Hate article to bolster your argument is the minute you've lost it.

Plus, I haven't read any comments baying for Harry to be disowned – let's be fair, he's the one doing that to the Royals. Which is why it smacks of massive head-scratching hypocrisy that he's now hitching his kids to the institution he claims drove his wife to contemplate suicide by insisting they use the prince and princess titles.

The royal family website won’t be updated until they’ve had proper confirmation from Harry and Meghan that they’re using Princess Lilibet (and presumably Prince Archie) with no HRH.

They’ll not risk being seen as removing the children’s HRH titles without H & M’s agreement (given there are no new LP’s) just as they’ve waited for their confirmation that they’re using titles at all for the children.

If I was them, I would have got a sponsorship deal and called her Fanta or maybe Pepsi or even Roses (after the popular chocolate selection, obviously!).

Actually, Peg was a great old-fashioned name, I had a Great Auntie Peg when I was growing up.😁

I doubt people are waking up to the inherent wealth and privilege now any more than they did previously, throughout history there has always been the haves and the have nots , abolishing the monarchy won't change this , there is always the top hierarchy of wealth and privilege in any society regardless if they are so called royals or aristocrats, politicians or self made billionaires.
Human nature means many strive to climb the tree , those that don't wish too pull the tree down.
Don't forget communism at its core was about sharing the wealth and privilege, it didn't work, humans don't work that way most almost always want more!

Plus, I haven't read any comments baying for Harry to be disowned

I doubt the anti H&M brigade can read at all tbh. Ignorance oozes from their posts,

I actually feel a bit sorry for Archie and Lili - those titles are going to be confusing and possibly a bit of a burden if they grow up and go through the US school system, and they don't even get all the cool stuff and privileges that usually goes with being a Prince and Princess which offsets all that teasing etc. I don't understand why Harry and Meghan didn't do what Edward and Sophie did which was to state that while the kids have these titles, they won't be using them as minors but will be able to make their own decision at 18.

If you think the Royals represent inherent entrenched privilege and are undemocratic, why do you support Prince Harry in naming his children prince and princess? Not being goady, genuine question.

Oh come on! I know Meghan‘s supporters go to extreme lengths, but surely suggesting anyone is “judging” a child barely old enough to ask for a biscuit, rather than the parents who have actually made the choice about this title, is borderline insane.

Given that someone has said on here the name Archie sounds like an East End barrow boy, I don't agree with you.

Oh my, I had an Auntie Peg!

But that would still be judging the parents. They chose the name.

Really? So it's not saying anything horrible about the little boy then. OK

You can share all the silly little emojis you like, but it doesn’t change anything.

Based on this thread, their supporters are hardly the epitome of articulate intelligence either!

Frankly, I'm a fan of neither. But after being curious enough to watch PH's interviews for Spare, where his anger at The Firm was clear to see, I find it difficult to understand why he'd want his children to have titles and be part of the very institution he blames for driving his wife to the brink of suicide and for damaging his mental health. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I don't understand why Harry and Meghan didn't do what Edward and Sophie did which was to state that while the kids have these titles, they won't be using them as minors but will be able to make their own decision at 18.

Because Harry's biggest problem is that he was born second, the spare, the one with duty but no authority, always to be cast as the "thank goodness it isn't him" character. He could / should have come to terms with the birth order (like Edward obviously has), but has instead decided to try to prove that he is better than his brother. Unfortunately, his tactics aren't working particularly well. I'd like to see a proper opinion poll, but my impression is that British people don't like him and I wouldn't be surprised if the average American didn't either.

What? I did one emoji. There are posters on here who post memes and rows of emojis.

Fine, you don't think it's criticism of Archie. I do. As well as the parents.

I've been told to drop it so I have, but other better sources are available a click away for those that are interested. It was that bad, an abdicated King actually held talks with the Nazis about taking power if they had ever won and that we could be bombed into submission. I.e. utter traitor to the British State. Like I said, it was covered up as it would have struck an arrow right through the heart of the establishment and the legitimacy of the British Royal Family.
