I haven't seen it personally but I heard that Buckingham Palace has released the work schedules of those invited to show how they were otherwise engaged...especially if it was short notice as seems likely. I didn't realize that Buckingham Palace had released the work schedules of those invited. This whole matter seems so silly. Anyone with half a brain knows that the Royal family can't just hop on a plane and attend an event at a private residence in a foreign country on short notice. I just don't understand why Harry and Meghan felt it was necessary to announce that Charles and Camilla and Will and Kate were invited but didn't come to the christening. If it was really important to Harry that his family be a part of the christening, why didn't Harry pick up the phone and say "Lilibet is being christened next week. Meghan and I know you probably can't make it on short notice, but how about if our people work w/ your people so that we can set up a secure line and you can watch the christening from London? We'll put Archie and Lilibet on the screen afterwards and you can have a nice chat. We'll keep it all private and Netflix won't be allowed to film the kids talking to you." That right there is why it could never happen. They don't want things private and they would never give away the chance of footage with the real Royals.

Whoever coined the phrases their truth/our truth/my truth needs a slap round the head with a wet kipper. Agreed! You can’t just tell lies essentially and call it ‘your truth’ just because you didn’t like what happened or behaved badly or didn’t like the criticism it garnered.

So much for “just call me Harry” and protecting the kids from a racist, toxic, soul killing institution.

He didn’t do that because they/Meghan don’t/doesn’t want to make things better. They have reinvented all that’s happened, turned it into ‘their truth’ and the way forward does not involve building bridges. 1. Well actually anyone with half a brain knows if that gang wanted to attend the christening they could. Maybe not all who were invited but some could have made the trip. As far as I can tell this work schedule is mainly members of the family showing up at various events and walking around looking at stuff. You know events that generate headlines like “Kate wore whatever channeling Diana” I’m sure substitutes could be found to take their place while they made a quick trip to CA. 2. Did anyone stop to consider that if the family in the UK were NOT invited to the christening there would have been outrage by those looking to criticize every little thing the couple does? You know, damed if you do and damed if you don’t kind of thing. 3. As to the bit about the couple wanting to “reinvent “ what is happening to turn it into their “truth”. How do you know what they are claiming isn’t the truth? 4. How come no one wants to talk about William and his mistress Rose?

So you're not a Christian but you felt the need on behalf of other Christians (or God?) to post a handslap to people who may or may not be Christians about not being joyous enough about a child they don't know being baptized a week ago? Did I get that right? Am I meant to care about "not being very Christian" when I'm not a Christian? No-one is being vitriolic about this child, we are talking about her parents who choose to live very public lives and thus are fair game for discussion. This event was held a week ago, and it was the parents decision to make this information about their child public - they could have kept it private if they wanted to.

I am going to say this and I believe it. Prince Harry with the Nazi suit and naked beer pong made me think a lot less of him and why I have come to dislike him so. More Prince less Army, Harry.

I don't know. But there is enough speculation out there about it that Kate has to have heard about it by now and if she is choosing to move forward with him, then great. Kate doesn't seem to care, Rose's husband doesn't seem to care so tell me again why I should care and why is it some 'gotcha' point? No one is wanting to give William so 'husband of the year' award. I can absolutely think William is a crappy husband AND think Harry is a crappy human at the same time.

How do you know for sure she isn’t his mistress? You seem pretty sure she is, so you first. Actually I couldn’t care less if he does or doesn’t have a mistress. But if we are honest his old man had one so who knows. The mystery to me is what terrible thing Harry and Meghan did that results in petty vindictive threads for every little thing they do. Have they made some missteps? I’m sure they have because no one is perfect. Especially in that family. You have Charles who is morally bankrupted. I get the impression he is definitely not going to be as popular as his mother. Then there is Andrew. Then there is the third brother. I forgot he existed until Elizabeth’s funeral. Wasn’t it thought that he might be gay at one time? Not that it should matter but it does to some. And now there are reports about William & Rose that don’t seem to be going away. One headline was Camilla was going to save a place for Rose at the Coronation. My first thought was well mistresses/ex-mistresses do have to stick together. My point, as in any family and especially in a public family, there is plenty to criticize by those in the cheap seats. But for some reason it’s only Harry and Meghan that get ripped apart on a regular basis. What terrible thing did they did do to deserve the petty vindictive hate they are getting? They live in CA now and as a fellow Californian it’s my duty to defend them from time to time. Especially when I think the “criticism” is petty. What I think is the couple is trying to find the right balance, for them, for a public and private life. What I think is the “family” wasn’t as welcoming to Harry’s choice of a bride as they could/should have been. That along with Harry growing up in public amidst all the drama his father’s actions created may have played a big part in the couple deciding to make a life away from the confines of being a Royal. Not everyone is cut out to live that life even if they are born into it. By the way, IMO, it was child abused making/letting Harry walk behind the carriage with his mother’s body in public like he did for her funeral. A caring parent would never let a child do that. He was too young. IMO.

No-one is talking about William's affair because he didn't have one, those are rumours started by either H&M themselves out of bitterness or by their fans. I don't believe it because Catherine's sister Pippa...who we all know she's very close to has a 7 month old daughter named Rose who was also recently Christened and Catherine & William attended. There is no way Pippa would use the same name as William's mistress if there was even the sligtest possibility it was true.
There are thousands of names she could pick..and she chooses the one that would hurt her sister the most...and remind her of the affair for the rest of her life? No way. To me that's 100% proof that it isn't true.

Well if we’re going to dredge up topics outside of the christening/baptism/titles, I’m far more concerned about a drug user raising small children then an alleged affair in a marriage that seems to be co parenting well and presenting a united front regardless.

Your duty, is that possibly a lame attempt at humour? Who else would you defend because they just happened to live in the general vicinity?

I recommend watching The Daily Mail's 'Palace Confidential' on YouTube if folks are keen on Royals stuff - today's show said the Palace are currently making preparations for H&M and the kids to attend the coronation, so that would be very exciting.
I don't love The Daily Mail, but this little show hosted by Jo Elvin is a good watch.

I live in the fancy suburb that is right next to the suburb with all the drug dealers/addicts/criminals I'm not feeling the need to defend any of them. I guess that puts me in the 'no' category for good neighbours too...or wait are we only supposed to defend the wealthy ones with royal titles? I get confused.

40 million people live in California.
It is beyond bizarre that someone would defend others simply because they live in California.
I mean, Charles Manson lived in California for 50 years. I guess other Californians should come on and defend him because, um, yeah, location.
I was born and spent the first 23 years of my life living in CA, but feel no inclination to defend other Californians simply because they live there. That is flat-out weird.

Well, and the flip side would be all the folks who live in the UK should have the same “moral obligation” to defend all the royals who live in the UK (KC, William, Kate, Andrew, etc.) because they are all “neighbors”, right? So, there should be no criticism of the UK peas defending them against the allegations of the Markles. I wonder if someone fell and hit their head besides Mitch McConnell.
