Harry on Tour

[Mylovelygreendress]

Just looking at the photos of Harry in Lesotho . Don’t know when I last saw him looking so relaxed and happy .
Nice to see.

As H and M were so determined their children have titles, I would expect them to use the titles at every opportunity!

The titles was about appearing important to the outside world, so Meg can say 'I'm the mother of PRINCE Archie'
And also a PRINCE should have security (security = important)

Is she really expecting other kids to bow to Archie ?
How to give him a head the size of a hot air balloon.

Harry and William were known as Harry & William Wales at school and in the Army.
I think Williams three will also be known as Wales.

I thought they were planning on using Sussex as the family surname when one was required. (I think that was a comment at the time of the latest online revamp)

Sussex is another option for them to use. But it's more obvious if they want to keep the kids privacy.

True, but even so, I don't think H & M have thought this far ahead - or didn't when they first fled to the US. The whole childhood and education business is going to be challenging for them if they are so paranoid about privacy and security - as well as being pretend royals.

They've flounced off to a republic where their titles and status quite rightly have no meaning whatsoever (despite their pathetic attempts to pretend otherwise) and, going by their behaviour up to now - how will they manage their A's and L's childhoods, with school, playdates etc if they won't even take the children out in public with them?

They haven't thought it through, and I feel concerned for those children. Couldn't care less about their parents, except as far as it impacts the children.

They definitely didn't think anything through when they walked away.
I'm convinced they thought the RF (William and Charles) would fold and accept them as part-time Royals and all would be good.

They never thought for a second trust would be lost and they'd be the cold outsiders. Or that their kids would grow up isolated from everyone.

I work around wealthy children and their nannies. The kids are given iPads loaded with games. This keeps them occupied so they are less work for the caregiver. If A and L have iPads, then the hours of scrolling is probably accurate.

The children might not be isolated. We really have no way of knowing. I remember reading one that Catherine had no friends because we never hear from them. People always push the negative, Catherine had no friends, rather than considering that her friends have chosen to give her privacy. In this case I would rather assume that the children attend private school and have friends, just stay out of the papers rather than that they are isolated.

Just because something hasn't got an article we shouldn't assume it doesn't happen.

I still cannot get past the juxtaposition of the grandiose title of prince alongside the casual nickname style name of Archie. It will never not sound foolish to me. Nothing wrong with the name Archie but Prince Archie looks and sounds ridiculous. Like something Katie Price or Michael Jackson would come up with.
They made a fool out of that poor boy with his name (and the same goes for his sister) and they are too dim to see it. They should've gone with Archie but ditched the prince title or put Archibald on the birth certificate. As if Diana and Charles would've ever put 'Harry' on Harry's birth cert.

Then they made matters even worse with the laughable 'Harrison' middle name. Ah how clever! He's Harry's son. Poetic.

As ever, they have zero taste or sense of decorum in anything. No taste, no dignity, no common sense.

I agree. Proper names on their birth certificates then use Archie and Lilibet at home.
They are clueless.
And Harrison is just laughable.

I may be imagining this but I think I read some that they originally thought about using Harrison as Archie’s first name. So when they started using the titles, he would literally have been “Prince Harry’sSon” 😆

Found a link (there were a couple)

"The name choice was somewhat surprising, as British oddsmakers' top picks for potential names included more traditional monikers, like Arthur, James, Philip and Albert."

Back when most of us hadn't clocked what absolute plonkers they both are!

Harry:
"But what I remind him (Archie) is that no matter what you want to be when you grow up, it's your character that matters most."

Speechless.

It’s the mental gymnastics and the apparent “meanings” given to his name that make me roll my eyes. Why couldn’t they just say “we liked the name”?

I wonder what will happen when the Sussex dcs grow into adulthood? Will they behave like their Aunt Samantha and stand at the gates of KP and demand to see their relatives?

It’s a name we, the hoi polloi would give. The juxtaposition is strange.

Can you imagine the kids picking Harry's book up?

Long term I think H & M will split and he will rebuild family relationships. I cannot imagine how it would work out for them to stay together with the kids in a weird bubble without any family links.

He needs to rebuild trust which he's never going to do with Meghan beside him.

I also imagine he's going to want the kids to get a posh private schooling, Eton, Gordonston is there an equivalent in the US?

I'd gone to school with North Americans when I lived in South America, so I'd heard of Archie comics and the thing about the Archie character was his red hair.
Harry has red hair. Like Archie. Maybe the reason for the name? Who knows.
Then "Harrison". Yup, sounds like "Harry's son". Not "Williamson", ooh, no.
If they'd jumped up and down with placards saying "This child is Harry's son! The son of Harry! With his characteristics!" it couldn't have been more obvious that the point to them about their child was that he was the son of a real life Prince, imo.
And "Lilibet Diana" - a queen! And a famous princess!
Doria? Hmm...
And apparently she does loads of childcare. But not royal so not given a "sweet nod".

I don’t suppose they knew Archie would have red hair when he was born though 🤷‍♀️😆
I do wonder if Archie was deliberately chosen because they already had the idea of “Archewell”. I just find the whole thing really contrived

I wonder what will happen when the Sussex dcs grow into adulthood? Will they behave like their Aunt Samantha and stand at the gates of KP and demand to see their relatives?

I should imagine they will only need to ask (politely), once they are old enough to visit independently.

Give it ten years or so, unless those children have been totally brainwashed, or are as dim as Harry, natural curiosity and teenage bolshiness will have them on the internet looking it all up, and checking what age you need to be to buy a plane ticket in California.

I'm sure there's a link between Archie and Archiwell far too much of a coincidence for there not to be.

It's things like that which makes them intriguing.

I know a lot of people thought "Zara" was a bit of an off piste choice at the time but I think it reinforced the fact that Anne's kids weren't going to be have titles (and Peter and Zara are perfectly OK names)

"Prince Archie" and "Princess Lilibet" sound frankly ridiculous IMO.

I know you're right.
I just thought both names sounded silly.
And if they'd decided on "Princess Princess Tia Maria™️ " it would be none of my business.
And I'd have only been slightly surprised.

They sound like characters in a children’s book.
