Princess Lillibet. Your thoughts?

Don’t let those facts get in the way of the silly stereotypes, imaround. Best to let the xenophobic digs go unchallenged.

Not a Princess among them by the way.

"Americans give their children bizarre names. "



In the UK, Archie was #9 on the list of most popular boy names and Lilly was #7 for 2021.

In the US in 2021, Archie didn't break the top 100 most popular names and Lily was #31.

In fact, you can look here and see that the most popular names in the US are pretty standard and not at all unusual.

There are lots of Archies around, it's very popular here in the UK. It has had a renaissance over the past 10 years or so.
I wonder how many were registered as Archibald?

Cary Grant's real name was Archibald (Archie) Leach.

Americans give their children bizarre names. Archie is a common (in both senses) abbreviation, Lilibet was a baby name. I bet there are heaps of American girls named Princess. This fulfils Meghan’s desire to live as a Hollywood/Disney character.

you can’t pick and choose your royals

No, more’s the pity, as the vast majority would be ditching the Sussexes after all their whinging and griping.

It’s they who are picking and choosing the select parts of being royal that they like, and abandoning the rest.

You have a solid point, vegansrock.

Those who believe in the monarchy should give their heads a wobble- members of the Rf don’t have to do anything apart from be born into it. They don’t have to have any qualifications or apply for it - they just are royal. As such H and Ms children are grandchildren of the monarch and have every right to these made up titles. The supporters of this feudal system should be tugging their forelocks at its members not slagging them off - you can’t pick and choose your royals , that makes a mockery of an hereditary system which you support.

You're right, they are just awful! Psychedelic drugs anyone??!! Actually it's difficult to believe. Poor RF, particularly poor King.

Just shows further their disgraceful smearing of the RF during their tacky Oprah interview where they basically said Archie wasn’t given the title of Prince due to being mixed race.

The pair of them are just awful.

The previous Princess Royal was Countess of Harewood, only daughter of George Vth. Think your iPlayer put up the wrong spelling Yammy! Mine nearly did!!!

If my American son in law is anything to go by throwing the title Prince or Princess around will result in the comment - "and I should be impressed by that because....?"

With two small children to nurture, how can H&M be so bothered about the hoi polloi? Why the symbiotic feeding frenzy all the time?

Anne’s children are not Prince and Princess Casdon. This only used to apply to the children of the monarch’s sons.

How about the Princess Royal before Anne she could have called herself Lady hardwood but she used Princess.

The members of the Royal Family that didn't give the Prince/Princess title to their children knew that, in this day and age, it would be more of a hindrance than a help. They are right. They will all be encouraged to get a job.
Whereas, Princess Lillibet is obviously destined to be a "Kardashian".

Apparently my great aunt thought they did and had to be enlightened before the birth.

You mean babies don’t come out through your belly button?



To think all these years I have been labouring under a misapprehension!

I'm pretty sure Meghan gave birth herself.

They have two children they are raising in a protected environment. I dread to think how many times the press would have pursued them in this country.

That couldn't be further from the truth. Those children are not going to be toddlers forever. Imagine what the children will find out when they do a spot of googling.

Daddy's losing his virginity. His frozen wotsit. How Uncle Willy pushed him into a dog bowl and broke his necklace. How Grandpa lied. How Granny Camilla was the devil incarnate. How Mum's Dad was evil so they've never met him. South Park doing skits. Endless commentary on social media. Much of it negative. And so on and so forth. Far too much information has been given.

Hardly a protected environment. Sounds pretty toxic to me.

No-one is a toddler forever!

I wonder which is worse, being pursued everywhere by photographers and having to stand and smile so that every single event in your young life is publicised, and having no choice in the matter
or
Reading something your dad has written which you will probably find funny.
In the words of John Sebastian
And then I know that all I've learned, my kid assumes.
And all my deepest worries must be his cartoons.

But not a word about his children, because they are protected and not objects to be goggled at.

Imagine the outcry from MM and PH if the long gone tradition of putting the newly married couple to be and then checking the sheets the next morning to see if the marriage had been consummated. And then having loads of people at the birth to make sure that the baby had not come from another mother!

As for Disney-esque sounding names for Princesses, I must admit in real life I cringe smile every time I hear Princess Charlene (of Monaco). Makes me think of Kylie!!
I think naming the girl after two such iconic ladies will complicate things for M & H's daughter, and adding Princess in my opinion is just OTT.

I'm not surprised by the Prince/Princess titles, because this is a family whose sole intention is to be headline news for as long as they can. It goes with all their attention seeking interviews, books, docu series etc. Whether the children will later on want that remains to be seen, especially after their father has implied the attention he received almost destroyed his life. Why would he be wanting a re run of the same for his own kids?

Katie Price's DD is Princess.

Just saying.

Yes I remember reading about "Princess Andre " and actually thinking she was a member of some little known Ruritanian royal family, before I tumbled ah! the Andre/Price daughter, although whether KP's other children feel miffed not to have equivalent royal titles bestowed on them remains to be seen!

archaic nonsense
Yep!

Katie Price's DD is Princess.

Just saying.

Why people get so incensed by this is beyond me. All the RF titles are “ made up” as are the “rules” - so if this couple want to bestow this made up title on their offspring then why not. It’s up to them . Maybe they want to stick two fingers up to people who care about this archaic nonsense.
