The British Royal Family

[Trudie]

Harry still looking rough today. Does he normally have someone who grooms him?

Harry makes his final Royal engagement at UK-Africa conference | Daily Mail Online

it is concerning to see him so disheveled.

Sad she got her foot into the drama.
JM will be exposed at the DM trial. Speaking of the trial , MMs anxiety started when more media coverage started re that lawsuit. JMO

Will she be called as a witness? Just wondering as I'm not familiar with how the British justice system works.

Forgive me, but I don’t understand the Royal titles. I’ve been reading they’re called Duke and Dutchess but they won’t be called the HRH titles. What does that mean? *Im from the USA *. And will have they have to drop the Sussex titles altogether? If so, what will their last names be?

Meghan and Harry are dropping their 'HRH' titles. Here's what that actually means - CNN

@Lilibet I am adoring your quantum post.
@No Angel: I’ll wager you three tiaras, including the angry-mcstabby sidewalk grating one if you can produce a better string theory post than Lilibet.

And considering Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle: I really do despair when photos of Andrew laughing surface on the Daily Fail. Is it just me?

As a character in LOTR once said, and I am para-phrasing, I think it was Samwise’s papa, well folks, if you believe everything the Daily Fail says, with no logically corroborating evidence, you’ll not want for moonshine. Maybe I should retreat to Feyneman’s discussions with a glass of red wine. It’s early here, but it’s happy hour in Barcelona. And JMO, MOO, in my own universe with the Dancing Wu Li Masters doing the funky chicken, or a butterfly in The Dream of the Red Chamber dancing on a sasanqua leaf, “...each set of players exits and another one enters, each seeing the illusory for the real,” or such.

Honestly, I think Prince Harry, and dang I looove those blue suede shoes (can anybody source their provenance?)
looks weary just having to leave his son as a new papa and hash out the rest of his life. I look worse than that just feeding my menagerie. Grace, people, please just show him a bit of grace.

Not sure how that all works in the UK

I’d never heard of MM
Until she hooked up with PH

Well, ok. I'm not Canadian, but until Harry & MM got married, I had never heard of this woman.

 

[Bravo]

I'm Canadian and yes I had heard of MM, just sayin......

Thank you! So what about Archie? As for his “last name” for school? In Canada are they allowed to be legally called “Harry, Duke of Sussex” on their passports, legal
Docs etc?

 

[Jsizzle]

Same.

I’d never heard of MM
Until she hooked up with PH

I’m American and never heard of her! Never heard of Suits. None of it. And I’m a huge TV buff! Lol

eta- But I’ve known of and followed the RF for many, many years!

 

[Oregonmama]

I dont think anyone really knew who she was. She was not an A lister celebrity. Now she is using the RF for money to finance her dreams. Meanwhile PH earned his military titles and gave them up. Not looking good when one person looses everything while the other person gets what they want. JMO

 

[Amonet]

I hadn't heard they were divorcing. ???

I've seen a few posts talking about the divorce in here, but I have no idea where that's come from. I don't really read a lot of royal stories or blogs other than what's posted in this thread tbh.

They aren’t. It’s a bunch made-up hooey, not even from a tabloid as far as I can tell.

 

[Oregonmama]

I dont agree with everything that MMS father has done but interesting that she wants to get in production. She was exposed to production sets by her Dad while growing up....

 

[ZsaZsa]

Well, ok. I'm not Canadian, but until Harry & MM got married, I had never heard of this woman.

No one had heard of her outside Canada until the media they all love/hate publicized her friendship with MM.
But now she's going to host a Wedding Planner series on Netflix - wonder how she landed that?

 

[Amonet]

Poor guy gave up everything. Will it be worth it? Probably not. Thank goodness the RF will "review" this arrangement in one year. JMO

I think Harry has wanted to give up a lot of the Royal side (the job, not the family) since at least when he joined the army and did the tour of Afghanistan. I think since he got out of the army he's struggled a lot and the one bright thing for him has been marrying and becoming a dad.

 

[Gardenista]

This talks about the amount of money they could make and it's insane!

This is an ongoing debate among my circle of friends: Are you a true independent, accomplished woman if you derive your financial and career status by taking money from your husband's family. It's one thing to be clever in business and build your own company or have a successful career with an employer. Some might even consider it praiseworthy to engineer a coup to take over a department or corporation. But is it a feminist accomplishment to engineer a strategy to gain access to a royal family, then leverage your relationship with a member of that family to acquire some of their wealth and use that family's "brand" for personal profit.

I don't think it's a valid accomplishment for a successful woman. MOO. In the old days, feminism was defined by creating your own success, not deriving it from someone you're in a relationship with. What do you all think?

Harry's last name is Mountbatten-Windsor.
His real first name is Henry, he has always been called Harry. His passport would list his full name, and occupation as Prince of the UK.
Archie has the same last name, but no royal title per PH request. PH will still be called Duke of Sussex in Canada. MM is a US citizen. Her name is also Mountbatten- Windsor. I don't know if Royal titles are shown on a US passport, I doubt it. Under occupation I would imagine it says None.

 

[Bravo]

Do passports list your occupation? Mine doesn't.
