Archie is not a Prince and he doesn't have a title. Archie does have American parentage and I don't think Harry or Meghan are doing anything wrong really. They've ditched the Royal tradition.
Just because some of us might feel we have had our noses put out, we have to respect them and their lives.
If we don't like the press given to them (which is fairly obvious from most ant-Royals on this platform) then we shouldn't moan at the privacy they prefer.
Her choice, she does not belong to the UK .

That's the trouble with the UK public, we are very fickle.


Good post, Puddles.

I have no doubt that some people only want to look so they can find fault anyway.

Point of order, it's my country too.

But my issue is with the Windsors and their place in the UK and not about the form of government that made sense n thousand years ago.

(In any case king David was superceded by Shlomo.)

Re: Harry & Meghan's contempt for the British Public.

I do agree actually, it's not like they fund their luxurious life style out of their own purses , we do contribute , and I can see that brits may feel second best if she is showing pics to the Americans . For myself I'm not really bothered , though I've always liked Harry and his mum , but we can't expect him to think like ordinary folk can we after all his life has been extremely comfortable and cosseted. Terrible to lose his mum of course , but there are children who lose their mums every day and have to struggle to survive , whereas Harry had so much help .

He has his life now and perhaps has shut the door on us , it's up to him , though sad for those who would like him to stay close

They should go and live in the USA and become their royal family. That would trump President Trump

Re: Harry & Meghan's contempt for the British Public.

Why does anyone want to see the baby ?
It's seems to me to be a puerile interest probaby to see what shade it is .

Let them keep their baby under wraps who really cares ?

I have the greatest respect for your Queen - I think she is a hard working and remarkable woman. Not so sure about Charles - think he has had a raw deal. William will make a splendid King. Anne is also very hard working. The rest of them are just leeches as far as I am concerned.
That's a scurrilous and libellous remark Tabbs. She's never been in a porn film.

Re: Harry & Meghan's contempt for the British Public.

I don't care one jot if this couple are `royal` or not, what irritates me is the constant hounding of a couple who should be allowed to get on with their lives as they see fit and not governed by the UK press or the public at large. Would you like to see your own married offspring treated this way, being subject to abuse and negative comments?

Who gives a shit if the new baby's pics appear in US newspapers first? With the constant hounding of Harry's mother by the media and now the disparaging remarks aimed at his new bride who can blame them for not wanting anything to do with the British press?
