Not very imaginative choices at all.

Royal names aren't supposed to be imaginative ,they are supposed to be traditional with a nod to the past .
W&K choose their children's names very well, royal, easy to pronounce & traditional

The only people interested in hanging out with Markle are Ellen & Portia.. not off to a good start. Markle must be furious with Hazzas latest embarrassing flop

I wonder if she doesn't want a faux Royal life , it's Harry who wants that. She just wants to be rich and famous , preferably not doing faux Royal tours and 'engagements' so is hanging out with rich Americans where she can.

Surely Kate could call Charlotte Alexandra if that's what she really wanted? Alexandra is and perfectly acceptable name. I think that's nonsense.

I think the only issue with Alexandra is that there is currently a Princess Alexandra still alive.

Possibly but no doubt she want L&A to have all the trappings & pomp & ceremony attached to royal life.
Maybe Ellen & Portia are the only ones who would entertain her. I'd imagine Hazza's old circle have completely closed ranks & won't entertain them.
Rosie O Donnell is in Ireland Markle should meet up wit her too!

They're probably being given elocution lessons already.

No need if they stick around, they will pick up the accent at school and with any friends they are allowed.

That makes sense.

Some have questioned whether Harry is the right person to lecture us about intelligence of any kind...

Ouch.

So much of the info shared on here is just gossip/info from 'sources' and is entertaining in a soap-opera way - fun to read but nothing to bet your last penny on. As to the Hamlets and schools - they could possibly still be in the US attending whatever school they're signed up for. Random pics of people in wellies and log fires do not make an autumn day in the UK as pics could easily date from the last visit (and be catalogued to be rolled out as 'their' narrative). HAM could be flitting back and forth to see A&L as and when (with M being mainly in the US). The trouble is, once you've been proved to be liars, then you can't be surprised when your truth is not believed.

I find it hard to believe that not a single mother - after a name change - has admitted to them being at the same school as her own children or a friend's children.
Did even anyone from the Dragon say they had been there? Or was the convoy's adventure through Summertown all just hearsay?

That was a pantomime to get security.

I think friends might be seen as a security risk - not in the sense of danger but in terms of the HAMs losing control of their privacy.

The more I think about it, the more sorry I feel for the children.

Yes - I don’t like M, but to give her her due, she wouldn’t have done that! Now that sort of glitch is where Word Salad Fluency comes in useful!

It could all be smoke and mirrors though. Couldn't it?

No in fairness to Meghan she would have winged it no problem, she's an excellent public speaker... when Hazza gets home she can cooly inform him to leave the public speaking appearances to her going forward!
I'd love to have been a fly on the wall when she saw the videos!
Things ain't going according to plan!

There were various versions of this circulating. One was that C and W had chosen Louis for their first born and this was refused by the Queen. Could be nonsense of course, but I can believe it as the naming of a future king is quite an important thing to get right. The French have had rather a lot of Louis(s)!

I also think it demonstrates how unimportant H and MM are in the scheme of things as no objection was raised to their ridiculous choices.

Just noticed Autocorrect changed future king to cutie king - that would have started a conversation…)

AlexandraCarrington · Yesterday 08:47

George is George Alexander Louis. He could choose to use any of those as King. George VI, Edward VIII, Edward VII and Victoria didn't use their 'family' names as sovereign.

Baital · Yesterday 08:48

That's not a veto, that's parents having different preferences.

Mymanyellow · Yesterday 08:50

Can’t very well have King Louis apart from all those French kings, it sounds like a jazz musician.

Yes imagine the scenes in the palace the morning it was announced he was called Archie Harrison!
Harrison son of Harry quite obvious... maybe Archie is a Markle family name?

Mymanyellow · Yesterday 08:53

🤣🤣 I hadn’t thought of that but that’s true too.

Archie was a popular name among Bodenites at the time, as was Lily. I think MM imagined they were upmarket British names.

Oh God here we go…..
According to GB news :
“Sarah Ferguson 'days away from signing seven-figure book deal”

Couldn’t be bothered to copy the link, the headline is enough.

I really think the market is oversaturated with Royal books. I’ve hung around in two different Waterstones this week. Literally no interest, no one is buying, no one is even pausing to look at CS book.
I did notice a William and Catherine book on the top shelf of the other Royal books - apparently that is Ingrid Seward’s latest. Well no one was looking at the others in the genre so good luck with that Ingrid.
No doubt a few hard core fans will buy, probably from Amazon, but I doubt there will be many wanting to read Fergie’s “true” story.

I think a lot would want to hear about her interactions with Epstein and AMW. I suspect though it would be a car crash and she would trip herself up legally and probably inadvertently land herself and her husband in jail.
