According to a number of British newspapers reported on March 8, local time, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's daughter, 21-month-old Lilibet, had completed her baptism last week. However, as a child with the right to the throne, Lilibet was not baptized in England, but at her home in California.
As for why Lilibet did not return to the UK, some royal experts pointed out that this may be because Harry Meghan is worried that the royal family will snub them, and "the ceremony will not even be arranged in the church in Windsor".
Instead of taking such a risk, it is better to do it in California, and by the way, they can consolidate their position in the local area, after all, even if the Khames are "expelled", they still have a title of nobility. It is said that by this title alone, they will be looked up to above.
According to reports, Harry Meghan still invited their royal relatives to attend her daughter's christening ceremony, including King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William and Princess Kate, all of which received invitations, but they all declined. Whether other royals were invited and there is unknown, but it seems unlikely.
"Harry and Meghan are deliberately letting people know that they invited senior members of the royal family to the baptism ceremony in an attempt to occupy the moral high ground, but they are just playing games." Royal writer Phil Dampier put it this way, "They knew that none of those invited would come." ”
And from the baptism, Harry Meghan's statement can also be felt that they are a strong reminder that "we are still members of the royal family."
The daughter of the two men in the statement is called "Princess Lilibet Diana", and the report said that this is the first time the girl has been publicly called "princess", apparently, the two have preempted the royal family and added honorable titles to their daughters.
On the official Buckingham Palace website, Lilibet is still referred to as "Lady Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor" and her brother Archie Mountbatten-Windsor.
However, Meghan's first use of her daughter as a "princess" is not useless, and it is reported that Buckingham Palace has stated that it will update the description of the members "to reflect this change".
The issue of the title of Harry Meghan's children has been a hot topic before, especially after the two were kicked out of the "Flogmore Cottage", and Archie and Lilibet were considered unable to obtain the title of nobility.
But in fact, according to royal tradition, the two children automatically had the titles of "prince" and "princess" when their grandfather Charles succeeded to the throne in September this year. But few are willing to admit that even the royal family avoids talking about it.
In this way, Meghan did not do anything wrong this time, which is reasonable, but it is pointed out that it is not decent enough. "On the one hand, the United States is fiercely attacking the royal family and even the monarchy, but on the other hand, there is a deep obsession with noble titles."
And Meghan's obsession is not only for face, but more out of economic interests, she knows that if she wants to enter the upper class of the United States, there is nothing more convenient than holding a title of nobility, not to mention that she and Harry rely on "consumption" of the royal family is really expensive.
It is reported that Lilibet can decide for herself whether to still have the title of princess after turning 18, but it is estimated that under the teaching of her mother, she will not give up.
