Archie and Lili, in the future?

[Coatigan]

Just musing, but once they get to adult age, would Harry's kids not be able to travel to the UK independently and meet up with their cousins/ rest of family if they want to? Do you think the UK cousins, and I'm including Zara's kids here, would want to meet them?

Hasn't marrying a prince made her famous, privileged and wealthy?

Well she was a successful actress and independently wealthy before she met him. It's her that has a podcast and a Netflix series ... what is Harry doing to bring in some money?

Kate on the other hand - remained unemployed while waiting around for an engagement. If anyone was made famous, privileged and wealthy by marrying a prince, surely its her.

Some people like their women quiet and compliant, can't handle a woman wanting to be equal in her marriage.

Yes, good points. She's posting the kids on Instagram pretty much daily now, so there's always that income stream.

Hopefully they will be intelligent enough to know that Diana died because not she was not wearing a seat belt, refused security and got in a car with a drunk driver.

They won't be on the breadline, but their parents will likely have to grift and keep playing the media to keep the money rolling in rather than being part of a family where it wouldn't be a concern at all. The fact she was posting affiliate links on insta suggests things aren't as financially peachy as they claim.

I don't think you can predict what will happen - as they are so young and I think it will depend on who they turn out to be and what social crowd they fall in with. Some of that going to depend on where they are schooled.

It's always hard to see what actual situations are but the leaving young kids for very long time periods and how they talk about them in interviews in very vague generic terms or very OTT generic terms Harry and Meghan don't give impression of being actually very involved parents - but who knows.

If they are brought up in US see that as there home and don't have any cross over socially then image they may have little interest in RF. If they do secondary in private UK school they would likely have more interest in UK.

Charles as grandfather will likely be more interested in forging a connection than William will be - as Willam focus will be his kids.

their parents will likely have to grift and keep playing the media to keep the money rolling in rather than being part of a family where it wouldn't be a concern at all

I will never fathom why people earning their own money (like it or not, social media influencing and lifestyle types is a career now, loads of people are doing it) are considered "grifters" while people living in palaces funded by the taxpayer (and don't start with the RF's personel funds nonsense, it all originates with the taxpayers) are considered the correct role models and somehow the wronged party.

How has the Royal Family been affected by Harry leaving? They haven't, they still have their position, their status, their power and wealth. Harry has lost his entire family (and yes I know that some will say that's his own fault; I disagree, there is always always two sides to every story).

And she wasn’t in the UK, which Harry consistently chooses to ignore.

If it was me in their shoes I think I would be trying to meet my cousins/ second cousins the minute I turned 18 especially if they are the BRF and one of them is the future King

I hope you'd be just as keen if they were a normal family without titles.

If such a man as Trump can become president, there's hope for Meghan. Why not? Seeing DEI through a new lens. 'Those senators love me so much.' 'I know how I show up as President.'

But she'd only be able to manage 3 hours a day.

No I didn’t notice that. But wouldnt it be normal to keep a tight grip on your children? I’m not sure I follow your drift …

It would be odd if she hadn’t wanted them in the wedding party but how do we know that? And what did she say about Jessica’s daughter - and more to the point, how would we even know what was said?

Harry has served his purpose. Through his royal status he launched Meghan onto the Global Stage. She will have already tired of him (actually she was never that in to him, so it's more likely she's tired of pretending to like him) and is now 100% lazer focused on her own career trajectory (as ever). That career has zero room for Harry.

Within 3-5 years they will be divorced. Harry will scuttle back to the UK and hole up in a grace & favour apartment in KP. Drink too much. Spliff too much. See his DCs occasionally. If he's very lucky, his old friends might welcome him back, but they will wait to see what William does. They would never choose Harry over the heir to the throne.

Meanwhile, Meghan will be a network talk show host, with a lifestyle brand on the side. She will be moderately successful but will never mix in Hollywood A List circles.

Archie & Lilibet will be raised on pseudo psycho babble nonsense and likely be in therapeeeee from the age of 12. Very expensive schools. Very expensive cars. Very expensive soft drugs habit.

Their home will be a beautiful white & griege Montecito McMansion. A souless mausoleum to their Mother's ruthless ambition.

'But I work so hard.'

Probably 2 more than Trump who is either watching telly, "Truthing" on his own media, playing golf or ghosting Melania - but not making jam. That said he does love the royal family probably more than Harry so there is that.

My mum was nowhere near a household name, and this was the 90s, so print media and some online only, and yet I was recognised in public, and berated about some of her opinion pieces - age 10! And occasionally it would come up at school too.

And this was just about her espousing the virtues of free range chicken. She did get some clapbacks from better known journalists, which I partially agree with.

This could really, really go wrong for H+M in the future.

I think it’s a reference to the fact that people noticed with Meghan and Harry’s wedding, where George and Charlotte were among the bride’s attendants, while they entered the church with the bride, they went to their parents and left the church with them at the end of the service, rather than following the bride down the aisle (you can see Meghan + 10 children walking down the aisle and just 8 children leaving - on the tv coverage you can see Charlotte and George joining their parents when the bride and groom leave the vestry.

This could of course be of no significance. But it’s not an age or a security thing, as George and Charlotte both walked down the aisle by themselves at Eugenie’s wedding, and George by himself at Pippa’s. So people have wondered why.

As an aside, I do wonder why Jessica Mulroney seems to hae disappeared from Meghan’s life, given how close they clearly were.

Imagine being a schoolgirl in California, and the girl at the next desk is Princess Lilibet Diana.
That's got to be strange!

I bet there are far weirder names in a city of Hollywood celebrities than that.

And actually, whether you think it’s funny or not, she is a princess, her great grandmother was called Lilibet, and her grandmother was Diana. So actually it’s a perfectly appropriate name for her.

This thread is so distasteful. Even little Louis is being predicted to “go off the rails.”So much nastiness about young children who have done nothing wrong to anyone. Unkind.

I have not been nasty about Lilibet and I did not say that it was a "weird name".
Plus; I know she is a Princess. We all do. The Sussexes are very Royal.
My comment was about someone who is a Princess, with a very distinctive name at a school in the USA.
So please read my post before such unpleasant accusations.

The thing is they’re not going to be at US ‘public’ schools they’ll be in expensive private schools. Their classmates will have names akin to Apple, Riot, Techno and Pilot (all real celebrity kids names). Peter Andre’s daughter is actually called Princess as her first name. You’d probably be looked at weirdly though if your name was Susan or Jane.

I don’t think the US is ready for a woman president. She’d have to be something pretty special to beat even the worst man going up for the job. Meghan just wouldn’t cut it.

As an aside, I do wonder why Jessica Mulroney seems to hae disappeared from Meghan’s life, given how close they clearly were.

Jessica was cancelled during an allegation of racism against her in 2021/22.

Not just Jessica Mulroney. What happened to Benita Litt, whose 2 daughters were also bridesmaids and are apparently MM's goddaughters? Benita was in the pew next to Doria in the pictures angled from the alter. Benita is an IP lawyer and brand launch expert, according to her curiously sparse website, with clients including Netflix. Surely Meghan could have done with her friend's advice this last year, what with her numerous disastrous IP applications?

Well spotted.

And the Windsor ladies made sure Meghan wasn't near Charlotte at the Queens funeral too. I think it was when they came out the Abbey.
But that might just have been to reduce photo opportunities for Meghan.

Bloody hell! Poor children being brought up without class signifiers! How will they possibly survive or thrive without those! 🙄

And how can you possibly know what their education will be like? Or their level of intelligence and language? Or whether they will be spoiled or not?

This sort of speculation about children is really nasty.

And yet more nasty speculation here!

If this post is meant to be funny; I fail to see the humour in it.

Imagine if these same comments were made about Katherine and William and their dc? There would quite rightly be an almighty protest about it.

In fact starting a thread about children full stop is just unacceptable imho.

The double standard is plain to see.

No matter how much you loathe the actions of parents; it’s not ok to comment like this about children fhs!
