Photoshoot for the Sussex Children?

[MrsFinkelstein]

I actually hope this isn't true. It's one thing I've always admired of the Sussexes, that they have (generally) protected their children's privacy very effectively.

I hope its not related to the new commercial venture.

Lilli's kitchen would be quite an unfortunate name choice given Lily's Kitchen is already a quite well known brand of pet food in the UK.

Cross posted but glad to see it wasn't just me who thought it. 😅

Are there many other DC in that area with Prince/ Princess titles ? Surely they will be the only ones at school ?

That's what I was thinking. Not many with a title, never mind Prince or Princess. Plus Princess Lilibet is a particularly distinctive link to the British RF.

@Outthedoor24 . H and M supporters insist that they have plenty of money and no need to ask the wicked RF for support !
Harry had huge inheritances from his Mum and the QM and apparently Meghan was a millionaire in her own right ( despite not owning property or a car).

Yes, although during that Platinum Jubilee weekend they shared a picture of Princess Lilibet sitting in a garden.

Remember the wee security bill. Is that not estimated to be £10 m a year.
That wasn't taken into account when they did their sums?

Maybe they thought Pa would carry on paying that bill, if not the UK taxpayer.

I honestly can't decide whether Team Sussex or Team Wales are the more paranoid and deluded. It's completely extraordinary.

Harry himself said that he never expected to have to pay for his own security.
He whinged to OW that he was financially cut off . Imagine a near middle aged man having to support himself !!

Or live on his mother's inheritance!

Did he not say that was for his DC ??

How different is this to Will and Catherine trotting out their children when it suits them?

Some RF fans are no better. I was followed round and hounded off another group for making supportive comments about Harry and Meghan. I was told in no uncertain terms that I was not welcome.

I'm more of the opinion that there's faults on all sides and neither couple have behaved perfectly, because they're humans and humans are all flawed.

In my opinion it’s because the Wales are working Royals . As far as I remember there is an agreement with the press about which photos of the children ( indeed any Royal children) will be published . For instance , you don’t see pap shots of the school run ( despite Meghan saying that Archie couldn’t go to school in the U.K. as there would be 40 photographers there every day!)
Rightiy or wrongly most of the public expect to see the DC of the Heir .
During the Platinum Jubilee, HM’s funeral and Coronation we saw more of the DC than usual but that isn’t normal.

@Mylovelygreendress

I guess you feel politicians including the PM and all members of the RF are equally pathetic. 'Imagine being an adult and not supporting themselves' and all huh?

The big difference is the Wales are working Royals and their children will be expected to be working Royals too.

Their is an element of the Royal kids do need to grow up in the role doing the odd appropriate engagement.

They can't keep them hidden away and then expect them to suddenly be confident meeting strangers and being a star attraction at the age of 18.

I was under the belief that Harry wanted different for his children, than the “trotted out” of the royal family. It’s one of the things I believed about him. I do think there’s a difference between baby and toddler shots than primary age photos, as the child gets older they become more recognisable. The royal family have little choice unless the children never attend family and royal gatherings. I am still hoping this is speculation or maybe they are worried that the media, most likely social media will out the children anyway as they get more socially visible with school. It maybe an attempt to control the narrative.

Paddington will sue. He patented Her Maj’s Marmalade Sandwich long before that BP tea party ever took place. Crafty bear.

Completely different scenario. They are being brought up to live their lives in public. Harry and Meghan supposedly left to avoid that.

Exactly. I'm not sure why some posters feel the need to bring up the Wales children as if it's some kind of got you card, the two situations are not at all comparable.

The non working members of the RF have jobs . Not sure what your point is about the PM etc - they work ( how good they are is debatable !)
The point is that Harry thought he and his wife could flounce off to the US and do their own thing while still being supported by the RF ( ie us ).
Are you honestly saying that’s reasonable ? Oh and he wasn’t “ cut off”. Accounts show that Charles gave him millions in 2020.

Apparently the Queen did want to pay for Harry’s security - or at least the country (taxpayer) to pay, but this was dismissed at appropriate levels due to the immense cost of providing full worldwide protection for four people travelling willy-nilly around the world whenever they wanted.

Harry must be the most deluded person on the planet thinking he’s entitled to this. What really got my goat was saying Diana’s money was reserved for his children. Bloody cheek! Can you imagine any ordinary schmuck saying, “Yes, I know I’ve inherited £30m but I still want the country to pay for me cos I’m saving that.”

@MaturingCheeseball exactly. To think it is one thing but to actually say it 🤦‍♀️
