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."

If I was from a toxic, racist, bullying uncaring family I would do everything to ensure my child was not involved with them in anyway but then again I can’t merch my family for millions of dollars. Sophie and Edward’s children seem to be doing just fine without the Prince and Princess titles which is their ‘birthright’ and as for being brought up in privacy in LA? Don’t make me laugh.

Real ones unlike Katie's Price's daughter and the stupid boxer whose sons are all called Prince

What makes them real though? It's not as if there's a gene that means one is a natural born prince or princess. Once upon a time their ancestors were similar to Katie Price but they were stronger and defeated anyone who didn't think that way. Generations later, we now have people calling them real and others fake because the families choose to uphold that fakeness due to its benefits.

@Eyerollcentral did you ask Charles and Diana why Henry is called Harry?

There was rumour back when they got married and everything was OK, that Diana, when she became Queen would probably be known as Frances as Diana wasn't considered royal enough.

Likewise Kate very sharply became Catherine.

I do wonder if their spokesperson used the title or that was just added by the press. Especially as they got the title of the Bishop wrong.

His sister's funeral.

So nasty to weaponise their kids like this. No need at all, it’s just piling all the spite and hurt onto the next generation to sort out in the future.

Is there actual proof that Charles, Camilla, William and Catherine were invited or
are we to believe H&Ms spokesman.

The whole point is that the context never matters. If Andrew had been born first, he'd be King right now regardless of all we know about him.

It's all automatic.

Character, history, personal relations. All irrelevant.

It wasn't the official spokesperson, it was the unofficial one, Omid Scobie.

I completely agree it should be the godparent's choice to go public or not. Thats why I think in the Archie situation they could have just said "the godparents have requested that they retain their privacy which is why we won't be announcing it" If they'd done that, I think the press would have said "OK, fine"

It was the way they refused to state anything and acted as if the press were out of order for asking, when it had always been tradition that it just came across as picking a fight. To me, picking the small fights like those with the media gave them less leverage when they had something real to fight with them about (like printing Meghans letter to her dad)

I must preface this by saying I have very lowbrow tv tastes but this is all getting a bit like Real Housewives of New Jersey.

I didn't expect King Charles would issue anything to prevent Harry's children from being entitled to a title. It would have been awkward, because he would then have had to de-title Beatrice, Eugenie, and the four surviving grandchildren of George V who are still prince/ess title holders.
However, after all of the fuss H&M created around not being working royals, its absolutely absurd that they are choosing to use the titles for their children when they could easily have just chosen not to, like Princess Anne did with her children.

No, he didn't. That was his sisters funeral and those were his in-laws. He was 16. One year older than William was at his mother's. You think he could have told his older relatives what to wear?!

@JenniferBarkley this is why the whole concept of a monarchy is quite mad isn't it?!

If I was from a toxic, racist, bullying uncaring family I would do everything to ensure my child was not involved with them in anyway but then again I can’t merch my family for millions of dollars.

Indeed Ladyvictoria

They had every opportunity to properly distance themselves. And they choose not to.

All about the merch.

I do wonder if their spokesperson used the title or that was just added by the press. Especially as they got the title of the Bishop wrong.

Yes I wonder that. It seems a mad thing to do (to me). Surely it would have been more sensible for H and M to follow E and S's lead and say, yes our children are entitled to titles but we'll be leaving it to them to decide when they're 18.

I’m totally anti royal but Jesus Christ, this was the funeral of his sister, her husband and their children including a new born baby born during an air crash where they all perished. He is clearly a teenage boy there. Germany wasn’t at war when that funeral took place. I actually think your post is in really poor taste. His sister was the closest thing he had to a mother when his own mother had been shipped off to an asylum and their father abandoned them, after they’d already fled Greece after being deposed. I am totally anti monarchy but it’s a bit rich people crowing about generational trauma when surely Phil must have been the OG of it.

Thank you, that is fascinating.

Utterly bonkers. But very entertaining. They're my Kardashians.

What an entitled pair they are! Hating on the Royals but grasping on to those titles for dear life! Absolutely cringeworthy, im embarrassed for them!

They certainly are entertaining 😂😂

Their diaries are organised months ahead. I wonder when the invitation arrived

He is a bishop. It is the same

Prince Philip actually attended a Nazi funeral !

Yes, in 1937 when he was 16 and his sister, her German noble husband and all their children, including her minutes-old newborn baby, perished in a plane crash on their way to a family wedding. Philips brother-in-law was in the Nazi party. As Germany was an authoritarian state, most people tended to be members of the Nazi party back then….

Of course, two years later, when war broke out, 18 year old Phillip spent the next 6 years fighting for the British against the Nazis, but why let small details like that derail you from an utterly ridiculous attempt at a smear.
