Princess Lillibet. Your thoughts?

The announcement that the children are (quite legitimately) Prince and Princess is another claim on membership of the royal family to use in future as their selling power diminishes.
re all the unpleasant insinuations made in the Oprah interview that Archie was denied a title because he was of mixed race; whatever Meghan, and latterly Harry say, it is 'their' truth at that particular time and therefore not to be questioned.
Apologies for telling deliberate lies guaranteed to cause upset?
I don't think so.
And to get the gist of what Harry says:
He shares. He doesn't whine. He shares re his mental health struggles to be of service to others
He 'shares' and he 'whines' because he is getting paid to do so.

Ironic that Harry chose to leave the UK to escape the toxic British press but now seems to endlessly court publicity. But then publicity equals money in the bank....

They are Prince and Princess, Blossom.
They weren't at birth but , because the grandchildren of the Monarch are entitled to the titles, they gained that right with death of the Queen.
Rightly or wrongly , they have as much right to be called Prince and Princess as Eugenie and Beatrice had while the Queen was alive .

I read that Prince Philip called the late Queen ‘Cabbage’. What a shame they didn’t pick that nickname.

A brilliant suggestion!

Ah, how sweet!

But not all parents choose to take up the right on behalf of their children.

Mostly I object to her being named the queen's childhood nickname.
I thought that was a passive aggressive act.

Absolutely.
It was dreadful. When I first read it (on here) I honestly thought that it was a joke. I couldn’t believe that they could be so crass.

I’ve been avoiding this thread up until now, because I’ve got such strong feelings.

God help those children, especially poor Princess Lilibet Diana.
What a loaded choice!
What a lot to live up to!
Named after probably the two most iconic women of the late 20th century.

I hope, that for their sake, the children take after their clever, tough as old boots mother; as opposed to their fragile, vulnerable father.

An hilarious display, yet again, of hypocrisy. I believe Harry's response to a suggestion that he and Meghan give up their titles was 'What would be the point?' or words to that effect. As most of the population are beginning to wonder what the point is of Harry and Meghan, another attempt to gain publicity while demanding privacy simply keeps the ball rolling and invites more interviews.

Personally can't help thinking it's Meghan who wants the title 'Princess'

I’ve had a few difficulties in my lifetime (haven’t we all?) so I wonder if someone would be prepared to pay me millions to share. Oh no, I’m not a princess! Oh well, I guess not!

Neither is Meghan.
And she doesn't have any problems.
Apart from Harry.

I haven't read all the posts so sorry if this has already been posted.

Now that Frogmore Cottage has been taken from H&M Harry doesn't have a UK address any more.

Also I read that if the US had known about his drug taking he wouldn't have been allowed in.

Hypocrites.

Meghan will weaponise and monetise everything about those children.
Within 3 years (tops) they won’t be together.
Meghan is a the goose that laid the golden eggs

Do you think so Fanny?I don’t know really. Isn’t Harry basically Meghan’s claim to fame? Won’t she become irrelevant even more irrelevant than she is already if Harry is out of the picture?

YES they are passive aggressive in most of their dealings,, look at the way they are refusing to commit to going to the coronation

What a grim pair. First of all the late Queen's personal nickname and now this. Why don't they just stay in la la land and give us all a break.

MOnica...🤣🤣🤣.

Today’s thread is a major disappointment. I’m rather neutral on the Monarchy and the Royals. But reading the comments here is exactly the reason I dumped Facebook 5 yrs ago - cynicism, snark, smearing, lies and hate (basically). I also detect how “conspiracy theories” are born. 🙄

I guess the Grand Ladies I always felt that you were, collectively are having a bad day.

There are people who THRIVE on this stuff - you can tell by the number of pages this has produced. It’s freedom of speech and opinions have risen to the top these days.

After Harry’s Megxit, I’m thinking the Heir is feeling mighty jealous since he has to live a life of a hands-tied, censored, caged existence, always on-stage.

Harry chose freedom, but he’s also still a tentacle - therefore he’s looking out for his children. Give the little tykes a break. You just don’t get it that part.
Longing for more graciousness.

Perhaps you don’t fully understand the feelings of British citizens. We ‘get it’ more than you realise.

A tentacle?
Anyway, sorry that we’ve disappointed you Grundy

You missed a word out, you should have said ‘some’ British citizens. It would be fair to say that views expressed in some of the more extreme messages on Gransnet aren’t shared by the majority of other people in the country - and I’d guess many others neither know or care.
