Lillibet's christening

Bekindbekind · 08/03/2023 13:08

Presumably they had to work, like most people.

sydneysunset · 08/03/2023 13:10

Yes, in much the same way that Harry didn’t travel to meet Thomas Markle before marrying his daughter.

presumably they had more important things to do.

Charles is not bothered about his grandchildren. William said publicly he does not see much of William's children.
And William is constantly leaking to the press how much he hates his brother.
They were never going to go.

I've seen no evidence of any press saying William hates his brother. Do you have a source for this?

MyOldFriendTime · 08/03/2023 13:16

They are hardly going to go over there after he's been slagging them off now, are they?

Jellycats4life · 08/03/2023 13:18

If my brother had made a multi-part Netflix series slagging me off, as well as the wider family, I wouldn’t have accepted his invitation either.

Got any links to those constant leaks to the press?

Lots of things about Harry have been leaked by Charles. The information that Harry only shared with Charles was that Harry was happy to give up his title. It was in the press the next day.

And there are loads of articles about how much William hates or dislikes his brother.

Sounds rather unlikely, in view of recent events

Me either. They were probably invited for footage for the next documentary or book.

rockingbird · 08/03/2023 13:34

After the Netflix series, book and all manner of shit throwing is it no wonder none of them jumped at the opportunity to attend.! I wished they would fuck off out the limelight like they said they would .. as I'm sure the RF would to.

entirelyesspresso · 08/03/2023 13:58

Nope there's no way in hell I'd be attending anything with those two after the way they've behaved and the hurt they've caused if I was the RF.

Sweetpeasaremadeforbees · 08/03/2023 14:15

Why on earth would they want to attend the christening? I would assume IF they were invited, it would have been because H and M thought it was the right thing to do. H and M might have been mightily relieved that the invite was turned down for all we know.

KingDog · 08/03/2023 14:17

God, the name is so cringe. I know it's been a while now and it's not the point of the thread but whenever I read it I cringe. She'll probably decide to go by lily or betty. What is it with rich celebs and wacko names?

TheUsualChaos · 08/03/2023 14:27

It was a passive aggressive invitation anyway intended to be another way they can act the victims. They of course knew they wouldn't attend but it means Harry and Megan can now cry about how they tried to "build bridges".

Sweetpeasaremadeforbees · 08/03/2023 14:29

Well hopefully the RF will respond with their usual silence.

Indeed. H&M knew the invitations would be declined but knew they’d be able to take the moral high ground if they sent them.

Lillibet was christened in California last Friday by the Archbishop.

Not an archbishop. There are no archbishops in the US Episcopal Church. I know that's been reported, but it's wrong. The officiant is a bishop.

They were never going to go.

And this is based on which particular 'facts' and newspaper/media links? ? ?

It was sent in an email. Emails get leaked sadly. When Harry admits to a tenuous grasp on the truth I'm inclined not to believe a word of this.

Starflecked · 08/03/2023 15:25

I mean I wouldn't attend a family event if I'd be treated like that by relatives and I'd be really worried whatever I said or did would be sold to the highest bidder. The reason is probably more boring, unless they had a tonne of notice there's high chance they couldn't get everything in place to travel over; harry especially knows this is the case.

Howsimplywonderful · 08/03/2023 15:32

Louis seemed quite comfortable with his grandfather, so I’d believe my own eyes rather than Harry’s opinions

DoristheDuchess · 08/03/2023 15:32

This saga is getting to be like a tennis match 😂

I'd say this one puts it a 30/15 to Harry and Meghan.

H&M fire media shots at family
KC takes Frogmore
H&M fire the christening shot

Wonder what shots the coronation will yield.

It's all a little bit farcical really

So none of the family can be bothered going to Lillibets christening?
Maybe Harry and Meghan can not be bothered going to the coronation?

I see their ‘bishop’ used to be a chief of Staff for Nixon 😮

Hopefully they were able to swap secret recording stories after the ceremonies
