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."

Why did you think that he’s anti titles? He refers to himself as Prince Harry!

Yet when he was at an event and said "Just call me Harry"... posters on here took the piss out of him endlessly thread after thread. Even posting JCMH on and on.

He can't win can he?

Incorrect. Queen Alexandra was born in Copenhagen Denmark.

Forgot about her. But APART from her from 1714 to whenever she married Bertie, royals had German spouses. Queen Mary was of German birth, as well.

If we look closely at the Royals its not Germany they all origin from its a Dutch queen

How do you work that out?

Couldn't anyone call themselves a Princess? No one could stop you surely?

It's not like imitating a police officer is it?

If you started styling yourself Princess Lynne from Bridgend you could presumably?
(Made up normal name and place)

Or could the King have you arrested 😁?

Martin Luther (20th Century) wasn't actually a King, but he sort of was. You can call yourself anything you want - actually, the present King was named after a dog, as Michael Caine said, not a lot of people known that !

@Howsimplywonderful - I think Hazza, Megs and their entire staff need lessons in fact checking. To be fair Harry probably needs to go back to school as he doesn’t seem capable of truthfully or factually presenting anything🤷🏼‍♀️

I wonder what Zara and Peter Philips think about the Princess/Prince hoohaa?

I wonder if they're all secretly 'Waaagh!!!!' I should have been a Princess!!
Or if they don't give a shit?

They were never entitled to Prince or Princess as a title, as they are female line grandchildren. The Queen offered courtesy titles - which Anne rejected - but these would not have been Prince or Princess. More likely Viscount and Lady, like Margaret’s children.

PreparationPreparationPrep · 08/03/2023 19:34

She’s just as disingenuous and disrespectful as anyone. She scheduled this interview for the day before the launch of Spare in an attempt to get on the bandwagon - but had to lower herself by deriding her own customers and using insensitive / oppressive phraseology just to get a sound bite.

Bring think it was just a sound bite but still you come on MN. If you feel that badly about her wouldn't you stop, there are plenty of other forums you really don't have to put up with it.

So true
go away Meghan
where is Meghan?

Not really.

The 'birthright' could be removed by Charles or any future monarch at the stroke of a pen.

I'm interested how an American born child can hold a British title .
Will Harry and Archie ever take Citizenship .
Do they all hold British Passports , American ones ?
I'm sure the Palace is sifting through the documents as we speak .

x2boys · 08/03/2023 19:35

ididntwanttodoit · 08/03/2023 19:02

whether she (or they )use the title, she is a princess. So is Meghan. And Archie is a prince (even tho Prince Archie is a stupid name and one worth only of a children's picture book. did they never think of calling him Archibald - well, maybe not1(

Well Archie wouldnt be my choice ,but its not stupid,in fact august is much more of a stupid name but people in here like Eugenie so...

Hooklander · 08/03/2023 19:36

Zara is on the Royal Family website line of succession page as number "20. Mrs Michael Tindall".

I hope that was her choice because she doesn't give a fuck.

The good news is there is a new series coming.... March 26th

BeatricePortinari · 08/03/2023 19:41

They never miss an opportunity to play their cards badly these two.

They could have been the cool relaxed Californians not interested in hierarchy who had a good relationship with their family.

Instead they're whiney uptight Californians clinging to their privilege with no relationship with their families.

That's one sad christening for a little Princess with only a grandmother present from the whole of her extended family.

It's possible to have a less than favourable opinion of a site founder and still use their product - that's called making value judgement about what's more important - being irritated by a throwaway stupid remark or appreciating what MN brings to one's life and acting accordingly.

Unless of course there's a rule that we all have to be signed up to be Justine fans before we're let loose on the boards. Must have missed that one, if so.

Typical of the hypocritical grandiose, trophy hunting, polo pony abusing Bunker Harry.

There’s nothing in the Letters Patent about where the child is born.

Any child who is a male line grandchild of the monarch is entitled to be HRH Prince/Princess.

That stands either from the moment you are born if your grandparent is or has been monarch (multiple of George V’s grandchildren take titles from him despite being born after his death) or when they become monarch if that is after your birth.

Really?
The rules around this are fascinating.

Zara must really be crying herself to sleep at night about the injustice of it all.

She should write a book about it.

smilesy · 08/03/2023 19:23

I hadn’t really thought of that. Doesn’t that make it even more non sensical that they insisted that titles were necessary in order for the children have security 🤔🤔

Yes. Of course. Because they just make things up as they go along.

I clocked that too 😂

Love it, almost as good as the ‘service is universal’ statement and ‘no one owns the word royal’

Palace appears to have responded that website will be updated ‘now they’ve expressed a preference’

Rapid volley from BP, and ball back in Sussex court. 😂

Some posts, right after the accession, when threads were discussing royal styles for the Sussex DC, stated back then that there would be no announcement from the Palace until the parents had made their preferences known (in exactly the same was as the Wessexes made a choice).

Tbh not with me, I think he is a moron of the highest order who has been spoilt rotten all his life. What name did he put on his book? Wasn’t Harry Wales or Sussex or whatever made up surname he has now was it? Never heard of this one event saying Just call me Harry on posters, guess it didn’t stick.

The BBC report states that they will not
be using the titles Prince and Princess “conversationally”, only in an official capacity not quite sure what that means 🤔and Meghan's daughter Princess Lilibet Diana christened in US www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-64890702 See here

Means when they (H and M) want headlines, attention or money the mini prince and princess will be touted out but other than that Archie and Lili.

Its gruesome at worst, bizarre at best.

Perhaps they actually christened her "Princess", like Katie Price and Peter Andre's daughter.

I'm sure they are not. If necessary can't they just have dual citizenship. Harry is not going to be King.
