And this:

Baby Names That Have Been Banned Around The World

There are some doozies on this list.

Or it was a slap in the face to the Queen - using a cherished family nickname without asking if it was OK...

If you look up the word ‘tacky’ in the dictionary you’ll see a picture of Meghan beside the definition...

thinking that she can set aside the line of succession to the throne established within a 1,000-year-old British system of monarchy and push Harry forward so she can be queen

And although it is a bit de trop, I think she has a chance of success, much better than as a D list actress.

James Stuart was sent away and King Billy was summoned from over the water in 1688 because James was a Catholic. How much worse is it in 2021 Britain to be a "racist"? It is certainly much, MUCH worse than being a Catholic in 1688.

Harry and Meghan have created suspense, using Oprah to do it, over "who is the racist" that asked them about Archie's skin color. Suppose it's (allegedly) Will? Suppose it's Kate?

Can't you see a Parliament, bombarded by the media and BLM, setting aside the line of succession and sending for the new William and Mary?

I certianly can.

If they want to name the kid Bambi Watermelondrea, let ‘em. They’re trashy nobodies, and who cares? I don’t thing the Queen REALLY cares.

I can’t, unless lots of people in Parliament want to lose their seats. According to polls, the majority of the British public loathe Halfwit and MeGain and want Halfwit’s duke title removed (MeGain’s title would also go since it derives from Fredo’s). The public would likely cheer if Halfwit were removed from the line of succession too.

No love for the Duke and Duchess of Whinger!

No, I can't, short of a revolution or an act of terrorism taking out literally everyone else in the line before Harry—at which point the monarchy would probably be abolished before those two jokers could legitimately claim the throne. Parliament put a former blood prince out on his arse supposedly because of whom he married, but actually because of his Nazi sympathies. Don't think that British intelligence doesn't know very well who is manipulating these two stupidly arrogant puppets.

There are six sovereigns in line before Harry. Any one of them could urge Parliament to strip him of his titles, and most of the British public has already been calling for it. "Whiteness" has far deeper roots in Britain than here.

i.e. “whiteness” is actually a code word for Western Civilization. Britain has been its caretaker for over 1,000 years. Suck on that, Meghands.

The moment I heard Harry & Meghan had used the Queen's personal pet name for their new daughter, it reeked of Meghan's trying to get herself back on the Queen's good side ... classless

How exactly is it "classless" to try to make amends with someone by naming your own child after that person? And using a more affectionate version of the name? Please explain how that is "classless".

It’s tacky to use a pet name

Call her Elizabeth formally and the nickname as how it’s intending

It’s an olive branch ....albeit a tepid one that shows some disrespect

I have a watermelon cousin who left Mississippi 35 years ago to be a struggling musician in San Francisco but to his credit has carved out a life there and remains Uber woke and progressive

He didn’t like our grandmother who he felt slighted him ....wasn’t hiss fault she simply had issues with his dad....

Anyhow he and his girlfriend he followed to San Francisco had a dog they named after our grandma

Which I always found like this....tacky....sorta backhanded

If you wish to compliment...do it right

No you shouldn’t be. You don’t give up your manhood at X
years of age. You should feel about it what any man should.

She was a very lovely woman that day, and as long as men aren’t
crude, their reaction is nothing more than a compliment.

Please explain how that is "classless".

They are not ordinary family members in a bungalow. The Queen is a head of state of one of the most powerful nations in the world, and head of a commonwealth of 149 nations. Members of the royal family are the chief diplomats for their nation and the commonwealth. As such, they should be taken seriously.

Elizabeth has given a lifetime of service to her country and to the free world—almost 70 years meeting other heads of state, reviewing acts of Parliament every day and meeting with the Prime Minister at least four times a month, in addition to hundreds of official visits to her countrypersons and their organizations and award ceremonies, year after year, in addition to being the legal head of the military and the head of the Church of England. Do you seriously think that using her babytalk nickname without her permission is a compliment to the dignity she has earned?

It was obviously a passive-aggressive swipe at her by her classless, angry granddaughter-in-law who is being used by globalists to try to humiliate the UK. It would be like one of Trump's grandchildren who was displeased with him naming their child "Pussydonny" on its birth certificate.

Thank You! I really mean it. I’m not some lecher hiding in the bushes. I just see feminine beauty as probably one of God’s finest creations.

“Mules in horse harness” can be used to describe a person who looks pretty, modern, and even elegant, but is actually selfish, snobbish, or lacking in elegance of the mind.”

I know that you’ve spent time in the UK and have a much better grasp of how things work here than the average Freeper (if there is such an entity): but on this one, forgive me but you’re playing fantasy football.

Wasn’t her husband the only (and last?) person to call her by that nickname?
