Lilibet christened and will be using the title Princess

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."

Puzzling that if Harry & Megan want to distance themselves from the royals as they repeatedly say, this princess title doesn't seem to match this... embarrassing. Just make your minds up

Emotionalsupportviper · 08/03/2023 20:38

Harry's way of honouring his much loved nan. He loved her very much

And yet he caused her, and the D of E, no end of stress towards the end of their lives, when they were both very old and very ill.

He was baptised in the music room.

So not a chapel.

It was a religious service performed by a Church of England minister.
I'm really not sure what your point is?
He is C of E, baptised, confirmed and wed.

It just seems a bit hypocritical.

My point, which was very clear in my opening post, was that the other poster is going on about H&M not using a church for the christening.

Yet Williams christening wasn’t in a church and that’s apparently fine…

My 5 year old uses the title Princess.

You have saw endless footage of the paparazzi hanging around the Ritz hotel then chasing the car down the street?
Her driver being drunk at the wheel played a part, but I don’t think anyone can deny they were hounded and chased through the streets of Paris, contributing to the crash.

Show quote history

She and Dodie weren't wearing seatbelts either.

vera99 · 08/03/2023 20:41

RaspberryBeret1999 · 08/03/2023 20:35

Yes, lack of seatbelt played a part.
As did being chased by the paparazzi

Show quote history

I hate people not buckling up in the back and always use Diana as the example why you need to (and the law, of course). Apparently she would look something like this had she lived and would be a frequent visitor to Montecito I'm sure and a more than wonderful nan.

Not quite the same as “literally hounded his mother off the road and killed her for a photo” though. And her driver being drunk and Diana not wearing a seat belt were the most important factors . A decent getaway would have had no trouble safely losing the paps.(Henri Paul was a manager at the Ritz, not a professional driver) But we’ve discussed this loads of times over loads of threads.

Show quote history

I agree Diana’s death has been discussed endlessly.
My point was that Harry feels that the media played a massive part in his mothers death.
Therefore, he will forever bite back whenever he feels they’re writing shit about him and his family.

Maireas · 08/03/2023 20:42

That picture of Diana! 😂😂!
As. If.

I think this was a reply to a pp trying to find reasons why Princess Lilibet's christening not being held in a church is less than.

I remember my 5 year old dd telling me I had to call her Princess (her first name). She was so cute back them.

That’s just more speculation 🤣what makes you think it’s more likely to be a spousal visa? They are q hard to get as in there are a LOT of hoops you have to go through, medical examinations, etc.

Show quote history

Having been the recipient of a spousal visa and spending the last two decades immersed in various US visa information I know exactly how to get a spousal visa. They are much easier to obtain than O visa because the only thing you absolutely need to prove is you are married.

Even Melania soon-to-be-Trump had a specific skillset at the point she gained her O visa for working in the USA.

What on earth would Harry have claimed was his special skill or need in America that only he could supply?

Also the O visa is a non-immigrant visa so you can't live permanently in the USA on it without converting it into a greencard. And Harry's easiest adjustment of status for a greencard would be his married status.

It's actually irrelevant - he has/had enough influence that I'm sure whatever visa he came on and is staying on was made to happen more easily and more quickly than the average person.

I just thought it was weird, questioning the C of E credentials of William.

H&M are going for the Prince Andrew model of parenting of wanting the accolades for his offspring to support his own ego.
Ann and Edward seem more grounded and less needy of the grand titles for their kids

Yes, I think you might be on to something with that

I agree.

By capitalising you are infringing on a precious trademark, watch out for the Windsor's. My beloved nephew is an Emperor, King is simply not enough !

I agree that he has the impression that the media are responsible for all his ills, but that is miles away from your initial post about them “literally” killing her, which is what I had an issue with 🤷‍♀️

Harry's way of honouring his much loved nan. He loved her very much

And yet he caused her, and the D of E, no end of stress towards the end of their lives, when they were both very old and very ill.

And depicted her as being a woman who was being manipulated, used and weak and requiring his help to make sure the "right" people were around her (his help - the help of a drug addled numpty). That's the lasting and very public impression "loving" Harry has left of his incredible grandmother. And let's not forget, he wrote his crass book when she was alive, and had no idea she would be dead when it was published.

No. My point was that the slating of H&M was ignoring the point about William that was made earlier.

It’s just being used as a convenient way to bash H&M

So when they can’t make money on their overplayed story, they can come back to the uk with their royal children and get a mansion for free??

The British media didn't chase Diana in France , it was the French media , however this is not mentioned and glossed over by Harry and everyone else.

I’ve said this a lot but people don’t want to hear it (including Harry). It was the French paps on French soil but somehow it’s the British who are the cause. 🤷‍♀️
