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."

John Lennon managed it despite all his well published drug use/advocacy and his opposition to the Vietnam War - it will not be a problem, of that you can be certain. Another thing we can be certain of is Andrew will never land on US soil.

@vera99 There must be ways around it or Ozzy Osbourne couldn’t have lived in the US for years.😂

Having said that, Harry was still daft to mention his drug-taking so publicly as a non-citizen as all visas, even Permanent Resident visas, have to be renewed and you don’t want to give the authorities reasons to deny your application. There’s no such thing as a truly permanent resident until you become a citizen.

Being cynical, I expect he has no experience of his status being questioned so he probably didn’t realize.

Poor old Elton John, I thought he was always the godfather at these things 😀

Imagine, there’s not a chance Reg would keep that to himself, indeed why would he?! No normal person would!!!!

Roussette · 08/03/2023 22:24

This is such a non subject... if someone doesn't want to say they are a godparent to someone else, why should they?

And Tyler Perry has been slated on here by the way. (not this thread, but one one of them)

Ridemeginger · 08/03/2023 22:25

I think it's important to remember, it doesn't have to be actually true to be Harry's truth.

I think in our therapy addled, victim is victor world, you are correct, @MarshaMelrose. Don't transcend your woes, don't count your blessings, just wallow in the victimhood, and if you're not actually one, just make it up.

I am sure Ozzy Osbourne is at least a permanent resident. ‘Being cynical, I expect he has no experience of his status being questioned so he probably didn’t realize.’ I agree. He has been so used to having things swept aside for him all his life, he has been horrendously foolish but then he is q thick and arrogant so it’s to be expected really.

Being slated on a MN royal family thread is unlikely to have left Tyler Perry cowering in fear is it. Or impacted his life in any way. It’s not a non issue, but the really fascinating aspect of the god parent debacle is that none of the Meghan supporters can even admit it’s a really weird thing to do, despite everyone knowing it is a really weird thing to do.

PreparationPreparationPrep · 08/03/2023 22:34

I’m certifiably not deranged, the psychiatrist told me so. Why would anyone chose to remain private as a god mother?.......

So they declared at the ceremony but after that it is not any of your business. Remember they are not Working Royals - you do not contribute to any of their handshakes or waves or even the ceremony itself. . If they or the good parents decide to share then that's up to them but it is not your right to know. Just to satisfy your curiosity because you want or somebody else wants to start a new thread.

JAN MOIR: A princess? Is there some mistake here? I thought Harry and Meghan wanted nothing to do with the rotten Windsors!

Worth a read.

@Eyerollcentral I think it was the coroner who oversaw the in-depth investigation. Happy to be corrected.

Because I don't think it's weird?

HamBone · 08/03/2023 22:39

@Eyerollcentral Exactly. I have nothing against Harry, but he definitely needs to realize that he’s not really a major celebrity/public figure in the US.

And as a PP noted, if H &M ever split up ( I genuinely hope they don’t), everything he’s disclosed will be used against him.

Precisely! I think Tyler Perry just doesn't give a flying F* about the tabloids and SM by now, he has had his experience with them.

But to think it's your right and get all het up because you don't know who the god parents are of M&H children is just bloody deranged Weird.

vera99 · 08/03/2023 22:43

In heaven, where Diana reigns, she will be shedding a tear that her cheating ex-husband couldn't be bothered to go to his grandchild's christening despite being invited. She always loved Harry, and Harry never stopped loving her.

To be clear, make it up and then remember it as truth. It's a very hard world Harry lives in. With all the drugs he claims to take / have taken, it's unreasonable of his family to expect him to remember anything honestly.
I saw him say in an interview that he and M never argue in front of the children. It's very harmful for them. He learned that when he was young and his parents were divorcing. He doesn't actually remember them arguing in front of him but he reckons they must have done so that must be what has informed his opinion. 🤷
He's an idiot.

They were when Archie was christened. They did exactly the same then. I’ve just noted it’s a very odd thing to do. Which it is.

No

It was a narrative verdict, and various factors were mentioned and all factors that were mentioned combined to lead to the death.

I did say I agreed that this was the case (paps were a contributing factor). What I didn’t agree with was that the paps had “literally killed her”.

Am not het up in the slightest. I am fascinated by the chorus saying this is completely normal stuff.

vera99 · 08/03/2023 22:55

Harry and Meghan should start a New Age religion if Kanye can do I'm sure they can and Tyler Perry is already on board. You ain't see nothing yet ... as Ice Cube would say, "do you know what time it is "?

They called her Lilibet after the Queen, without her permission, after calling her family racists. (It's irrelevant how common Lilibet is as a name - she was named after the Queen)

Cashing in on any link they have left, just like Harry always cashed in on Diana's vulnerabilities and Meghan tries to reframe herself as Diana 2.0

It's embarrassing and predictable, they are common users, it's getting boring now.

It's really odd and obsessive

Arrocahar23 · 08/03/2023 22:57

The Markles are comedy gold. Those who support them are defending the indefensible - and they get very het up doing so!

Being one of his relatives on the receiving end of this must be absolutely maddening. I'm sat here watching the classic 1970s series, The Six Wives of Henry VIII on BBC 3. Harry has just been gas lighting Catherine (of Aragon) about their relationship, and she is sobbing in frustration. If only Netflix could have monetised his lies for him, he could have left the monasteries alone.

MarshaMelrose · 08/03/2023 22:59

I don't know why we need to know who the godparents are really. It's not that important to anyone other than the family itself.

The RF do it in the UK because its a proud moment for the godparents. I don't think anyone chases them for a photo.
I really do think, that after the pizza delivery man on the bike episode, H&M just have a more skewed view of how the world's out to get them. They pay paps to turn up to photograph them at certain events.
And they said they wouldn't reveal the name of the person who had introduced them to protect her privacy. Harry soon changed that for the offer of dosh. How concerned was he about her being harassed? Not at all. I don't why this is different.
