Hopefully everything goes OK for her.

She's more of a Town & Country presence these days than OK! when it comes to magazine coverage, don't you think?

 

Seriously, I do too. Not sure how far she is along but so quickly after her miscarriage in July is a real blessing for them.

UK media had some weird articles about how the child could be a US citizen, apart from being borne in the US his mother I assumed would pass on citizenship.

[laylalex 7,284]

I think I remember some discussion when she was pregnant with Archie about whether or not he would automatically be entitled to citizenship, but I think that was somehow related to his status as an HRH. But of course none of the Sussexes are HRH any longer so it could be a non-issue. Also the UK media are (in my experience) tragically ill-informed about how immigration actually works here -- I recall articles about Harry becoming a US citizen simply by moving to the US.

Well, similar to the innocent assumptions of the Great Unwarshed* here.

Any child would technically be a dual US citizen. There is the issue of titles though. Harry could also become a citizen, if he renounced any titles he still has (I believe he is still considered Prince and Duke).

[Boiler 45,412]

That does not seem to be an issue, guess we shall see.

Very worried about Prince Philip.  He's very ill and has been in hospital for 2 weeks now, and at 99 years old this may be his final illness. I hope he recovers from this quickly. My thoughts are with the Royal Family, especially the Queen.

She bullied Jeeves and Smedley, the butler and the chauffeur.

Didnt we fight a war so we wouldn't have 2 give 1/2 of one care about the Royals. I am surprised the cancel culture has not canceled a bunch of rich white people who are elevated to elite white privileges' , by who births them

[Boiler 45,412]

Certainly the impression from the UK is that they are very happy that Meghan returned to her roots.

 

I think people feel rather sad about Harry but he made his bed.

 

 

[laylalex 7,284]

Maybe Harry is happy lying in that bed? I detest all these articles insinuating or flat out saying he's got Stockholm syndrome, that he's being seduced into a lifestyle he never would have wanted if it weren't for that awful American. Harry has always been up front about his wish for a more "normal" (relatively speaking) life and how he bristled against the restrictive life of being a royal. He's a decorated combat veteran, respected and loved by his men. He's never fit terribly well in the jewel-covered box of royalty. This was his choice. 

 

I am perfectly able to see the hypocrisy at play though. They want to step back, they say, for a more "private" and "normal" life but whatever they have now, it's neither. We should just regard them as any other celebrity couple, to give them as much attention or derision as we'd give a couple who are both stars.

 

I won't be watching the interview. I live with a Republican (in the British sense) who thinks the whole royalty/nobility thing should be abolished, and is appalled that the Royal Family deposited one of its members in his new country. He thinks the whole lot of them are a bunch of inbred mental defectives (his words, not mine).

 

Okay, he likes Prince Philip for being frequently outrageous in his younger years.
