Princess Lilibet

Lovely father and daughter picture for Valentine’s Day it’s about love not just sexual love, that s just a bit of a money making modern stuff

Quite the reverse, Bluebelle

St Valentine's day is about romantic love. It is nothing to do with other types of love - that's just a bit of a money making modern stuff!

Probably encouraged by Hallmark and other such firms to sell all kinds of cards and tat. Valentine has been commercialised.

Now, Father's Day might be an appropriate time to publish a photo of Daddy and his little daughter, and son too.

However, if you want to get away from publicity, why publish anything?

Imagine, grannies who so dislike your mum that they post negative comments about your hair.

The vitriol directed at H and M is a continuing surprise to many of us. Especially given Mountbatten, Andrew M Windsor and his former wife. They’ve excelled at bringing the family into disrepute.

Why would they want to compliment the late Queen ? Megan said her life in the UK was such hell for her, passport taken off her, racism because of her skin colour, dark thoughts of suicide but refused medical attention, and we mustn’t forget the rules of tights/ pantyhose she had to abide by , how she suffered! ! !

I rest my case 😂

Graceless

I see using that name was a compliment to the late Queen.

Well, it wasn’t.

I seem to recall that when they announced the name, they said it was ‘Lilibet’, to be known as ‘Lili’.

Why bother with Lilibet then?

If they wanted to do away with their royal family connections, why use a unique nickname of the now late Queen?

And I too wonder why Valentine’s Day needed a father/daughter picture, why not H&M?

Coincidence that William and Catherine had their own photo published yesterday perhaps?

And yes, the child’s hair always looks a mess, but I’m not sure we ever see the actual Lilibet/Lili.

What a lovely photo and there’s nothing at all wrong with her hair! Honestly, I despair of some people.

Sadly for many posters, it’s nothing to do objectively with her hair but with who her parents are. Especially her mother. Meanwhile AMW and the rest of his motley crew are perfection personified.

The late Queen herself called herself Lilibet as, like a lot of us called Elizabeth, she was unable to pronounce it properly when very small. My name was shortened to Lizzie by my mother and grandparents, and I still, apparently, shortened it further to Lily! Those z's were originally impossible, fortunately not permanently so!

Gorgeous colour too.

I think she has probably inherited her mum’s hair type, which is naturally curly and thick. I like her hair, it’s really pretty as it is.

Archies hair is short and easy to maintain.

Allira, mine is in braids for sleeping or else I would look a fright when I woke up. That would be hard to get a brush through.

Since reading this thread I have tamed mine.
Just in case I get any callers or a photographer wants to take my photo for the national newspapers.

Yes you are correct Allira, it was her parents

I think in fact it was her grandfather who coined it from her way of trying to say Elizabeth 🙂

Another photograph yesterday from Meghan to celebrate Valentine’s Day.
It is Harry with his daughter.
After seeing it and others published recently do you other Grans just wish you could get a decent brush and give her hair a really good brush?
Much is made of its glorious colour but oh dear it looks like rats tails to me.

Perhaps short hair would look nicer. Glorious colour.

Valentine's Day ❤︎⁠ photo is quite nice.

I avoid any mentions of them in the media, as per their oft expressed desire.

I have always thougth Lilibet an absolutely hideous name - the kind of family nickname that arise either because the child herself, or a younger sister or brother cannot say her name when learning to speak. I admit I thought Princess Margaret said it when learning to speak. Prince Phillip apparently called the Queen "cabbage"!!

I had a family nickname too, and it made me cringe when I was nine and my mother used it in front of one of my school-friends.

Cossy I expect William felt Harry's betrayal very deeply. I'd have no respect for a brother who disclosed my very private medical past in a book supposedly about him. It was gratuitous, hurtful and done for titillation.
None of us actually know William's thoughts and influence on this situation.

Allira

^I suspect if William was slightly more forgiving this family may have reunited by now.^

Well, classic victim blaming.

Harry betrayed his family yet William gets the blame!
Astonishing.

I wasn’t victim blaming, I think the interview with Oprah was appalling as were other media fiascos from H&M.

William certainly isn’t a victim, in the context of the family, royal or not, he is the older brother and, in my opinion, for the sake of his father, he could choose a different stance. Let’s face it, William will have more than one opportunity when HE is King to exact his revenge.

I think that's a very good sum up of the situation Cossy.
But H and M really need to listen to advice if they are to be part of the Royal family again...and I think Harry wants this.
Meghan just wants adoration, fame and money....Harry is just thick, resentful and weak.
She thought she was marrying a Prince based on her experience of Disney films....according to herself, she'd never googled Prince Harry....hmmm

I absolutely agree!

What a mean comment about a beautiful little girl with glorious titian hair. Very below the belt!

Can I remind you all that she is mixed race and it would be really unusual of her the have completely straight hair?

Furret

Cossy exactly what I thought - the Bash Megan and Harry brigade are still bleating.

Well, let's just say, maybe the OP was just an observation.
We can't see Lilli's beautiful brown/blue/green eyes or her pretty rosebud mouth because we only ever get to see the back or side of her head. To be fair, usedtobeblonde did say the colour of her hair was glorious. No need to back away, usedtobeblonde.

As a curly hair owner and of curly haired children, she has had her hair brushed and that's why it looks the way it does

It is a lovely photo of a child with a parent and all this criticism is just mean and I don't even like them or celebrate the royal family. It think it's all a complete waste of money
