Nobody seems to know for sure. Why should we care. Maybe he doesn't even know himself yet. He can't seem to do anything without attracting lots of press articles.

Not at all when you look at all that's gone on.

I have no idea what those children would find bewildering.

Well according to the Mail there was another event on so H, M, A & L arrived unnoticed & stayed for half an hour.

Wonder who that came from?

I don't know, but for a very private event, there's an awful lot of leaking.

Then you don't have much imagination.

I tend to apply facts in discussing issues. My imagination is used for creative work.

I would assume being taken on a plane and meeting grandad who they will have no memory of meeting four years prior would confuse any child

I suppose it would depend on how good the parenting is, and how good the nannies are. The children must be very aware that they are royal; they have royal titles and there are reminders in the house of Diana (according to H&M). Perhaps they were well prepared? My own were taken across the world as toddlers to meet family who were strangers and they were perfectly happy.
Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet are used to being filmed and photographed and put on social media, they must have an idea of their royal status.

HurrahforHollywood · 12/07/2026 09:26

They are very young children. They can't possibly understand the first thing about what being royal means in a foreign country. All they will know is watching Disney films .

Again, we don't know. They and their parents have royal titles and live as royals. How they raise their children can be no more than conjecture, although the many ways that their parents have shared their lives would indicate that they are very royal indeed.
Who knows? If H&M are good parents and if the nannies are good, I can't see it being a problem. However, we weren't there so who knows.

Not the first time a username pops up that’s based on that of a regular poster 🤔

Please tell me how is someone supposed to know who is a regular poster when they sign up to join Mumsnet? Is there a list somewhere?

Why does it bother you if usernames are similar? Is there a problem here? If there is take it up with mumsnet adminsitrators then

Was that the party at Althorp ? Or do you mean there was another event at HG so the Sussex’s could only have been there for 30mins?

Edited

There was a Chanel event at Highgrove at the same time so plenty of cover for them to sneak in . They did not spend the night there allegedly. Seemingly at Althorp 🤷‍♀️

For someone who claims to only deal in facts, your own posts are entirely based on conjecture.

No. They are not.
The above are facts.

It shows you as you are typing which names are taken.

Chill your beans, I never said anything about what posters should or shouldn’t know, and I couldn’t care less what your name is. It just reminded me of this absolute nut job of a PP who used to deliberately pick names based on Jeff’s. They had some weird obsession thing going on, they would clap back at all of Jeff’s posts - such nonsensical stuff you wouldn’t believe. It was a few months ago so obvs before your time but was just musing, as the coincidence between your name and the very similar other one reminded me of that.

Yes it was very irritating! 😠

Jeff you were very forbearing to that PP who seemed a) extremely dim and b) quite troubled. Glad they have gone now.

WitlessCheeseEatingPeasant · 12/07/2026 13:44

Indeed!

I know, hence why I was allowed this username but according to some long term posters here I have copied someones name and I should change it because that person was here before me and how have I been allowed it. Even though my name is slightly different to that other poster. Honestly its just childish but since other long term posters keep commenting then I think its fair to ask them how any new person joining is supposed to know who long term posters are to avoid having a smiliar name 💁

Personally the whole thing is utterly stupid

Who has suggested you are someone else?

WitlessCheeseEatingPeasant · 12/07/2026 14:19

And not knowing the site’s history, how can you tell who is a long term poster? (Just curious!)

Nobody! , seems a tad odd !
