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 don’t people know the difference between literally and metaphorically!?

Easssssssy.

Yes I did. Thanks for telling me that. A robot took over my laptop and posted in my absence quite obviously.

Well, any H&M might be deranged but at least they don't come out with supercilious twattery.

Peter Andre and Katie Price’s daughter is a Princess (Princess Tiammii or something) so I guess anyone can call their daughter Princess. I wonder if she will get special treatment when she’s older by unsuspecting establishments abroad.

Jeez it's all very complicated and messy , the palace is gonna have some work to do sorting through this .

Why would the palace bother? It’s Harry’s problem. If they did split custody would be decided under the law of California. The children don’t know England or their English family at all and their father is a self confessed drug user with long standing mental health problems who says his own extended family are cold and unfeeling and failed to support him. Plus all the security concerns he set up. If anything happened he would not have a hope of getting custody.

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.

Wasn't Samantha Markle's daughter there? I thought she and Meghan were close.

I thought they said Archie couldn't because of the inherent racism in the family and he wouldn't be allowed to be a prince because he's mixed race.
Anyway. They've said a lot of things.

They did heavily imply that to be the case, but given that Lili is equally mixed race, it was clearly bollocks 😂

EpicChaos · 08/03/2023 20:11

I don't know who they think will be calling her that beyond their staff and sycophants, it certainly won't be me!

I said that aaaaages ago. Lol

Have you actually read the thread? Somebody else beat you to it, too. Apart from me.

Why don't you post about the thread instead of easy potshots at other posters?

Just a thought

Not close enough to invite her to their huge wedding.
Or Archie's christening.

Maybe she was there though.

I wonder if Jessica Mulroney was there? I wonder if that friendship has lasted?

Maireas · 08/03/2023 20:15

Well Archie was known as Master Archie Mountbatten Windsor - he wasn't even given the courtesy title of the son of a Duke.
All very, very strange.

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

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.

There are rumours of a secretive funny handshake club by invitation only to the select few, but the first rule is, as Rod Stewart said, I don't want to talk about it. And then there's Mumsnet Premium .......for the hard core Justine fan girlz.

Who does that ?

Back on topic, QE2 signed her self Lilibet Cambridge even after becoming Queen. It's Harry's way of honouring his much loved nan. He loved her very much (whatever love is as Charles so publicly expressed on his engagement to Diana) as well as 'Pa' if you bother to read Spare. It's a human tragedy writ large on the world stage, though an "above" First World problem, obviously.

The problem of succession that the Queen left is the inconvenient truth that she is a totally impossible act to follow, whose reign spanned two millennia and defined an era and rode a post-war age of seemingly ever expanding horizons for our country and its place in the world.

I think "constitutional monarchists" know this in their hearts, I'm sure and hope that the Charles/William reboot can capture the old magic, but sadly it can't and H&M provide an easy target to vent their anger and frustration. Well, that’s what I think anyway.

Lilibet christened and will be using the title Princess

Did you mean anti instead of any?

I really think that 2 parents can do what they like with their own children’s christenings.

As it makes the child a member of the Church i don't think it's asking too much to take it there, at least once

Maireas · 08/03/2023 20:17

I would imagine that even in the USA that title would be of significant advantage socially and open many doors.
Very advantageous. It also challenges their suggestions of discrimination (qv).

SighsTheNewWord · 08/03/2023 20:18

I wonder if she was the Godmother?Or Michele O?Any other suggestions?

I doubt Michelle O would agree but she's so gracious, she'd decline politely if asked. Perhaps Serena W - weren't they (suddenly) besties at some point?

I don't doubt that M wants to gather as many Black heavyweights as she can to her corner now that she needs them. Tyler offered himself up on a platter but these celebs always have an agenda for networking so it works for all parties. If they're happy with their fake friendships contacts, who am I to bother?

do you have the same ire for Charles and Diana given that William, who will be head of said church when he’s King, wasn’t baptised in one?

YetMoreNewBeginnings · 08/03/2023 20:19

This whole suggestion that Princess was given as a name is actually bonkers. Properly bonkers.

Maireas · 08/03/2023 20:22

@vera99
QE2 never once signed herself "Lilibet Cambridge".
She was known as Lilibet to her close personal family and friends. That's why she's signed that card.
Harry and Meghan have chosen to name their daughter after her, this may suggest that they have no problems with royalty or titles or anything linked to that.

I wonder if they'll trademark her like Blue Ivy?

There is only one reason M hasn’t ever said who either child’s god mother - it’s called ALL EYES ON ME! M would never ever share the limelight with someone on a big day and also wouldn’t want the godmother to be known unless they are a super a lister. I don’t think she has anywhere near the clout she thinks she has to get someone like that. She doesn’t appear to have any friends

Many royals have been baptised in the Music Room at Buckingham Palace, with water from the River Jordan, as William was. It's still a religious ceremony.

jeffgoldblum · 08/03/2023 20:25

@Eyerollcentral , I those and Harry we're friends with Orlando bloom and Katy Perry?
Is that off now?

He doesn’t have a green card. He is on a ‘talent’ visa

How do you know that? Which 'talent' visa - there are different categories - they also can lead to a greencard, and then the citizenship path is similar.

I'm pretty certain that there will be at least one private Chapel in Buck Palace - and it will be Anglican
