The has been a fairly long tradition in The US 0f A, of subjecting family member of the President to a high degree of public scrutiny.

While this started with the Kenedy's, it didn't get into top gear till Jimmy Cartes time.
Jimmy was 'blessed' with a rather eccentric brother and The Press had fun.
Ronald Reagans son Ron, a proffessional dancer, was targeted, but happily seemed capable of ignoring the fools.
George H. W. Bush's son George W, later president had his University and military records scrutinised at great length and when reporters, not themselves famous for their sobriety, finished with this, they concentrated on his youger drinking habits

Never mind the Windsors, just look at the dysfunctional Markle Family and consider what sort of private life would be available for her, if she was elected to high office.
Pray for Mr Markle
 
Following The Duke of Edinburgh's death there have of course been many varied articles both on-line and in the press.

One, explaining how Titles are awarded interested me and explained why Archie wasn't immediatly awarded any sort of title.
Perhapd I SHOULD have known the rules but I'm very much the happy amateur at history.

Harry though should have known them.

It seems that the Title of PRINCE is awarded ONLY to the Sons and grandsons of The Monarch.
So William and Harry get it as Grandsons of The Queen.
Micheal of Kent gets his from being a grandson of King George V.
So Archie is not a Prince.
And sorry Megan and Harry, but thats the way it has always been.

HOWEVER, my reading of it is that Archie WILL be entitled to the title when his Grandfather, Prince Charles, becomes Monarch.
But if Prince Charles doesn't ascend to the throne, Harry's brother becomes Monarch and AS I UNDERSTAND it , Archie and the one due will both miss out.

So why wasn't this explained to our voluntary exiles?

It probably was, and in Meghan's world where it's so easy to find offence in everything, that was of course offensive.

But it wouldn't have made good tv for her if she couldn't bitch about it. I see she taking doctor's advice and not flying back for Prince Philip's funeral because of her pregnancy, so in that context she must've ignored UK doctor's advice when she flew on a private jet for her baby shower in America with all of her A-list celebrity friends

Harry Hewitt was taken in by the royal family after his mother's galavanting produced the embarrassment. he was treated to the best that life could give, yet still bit that hand that feeds him and indeed still does.If anyone cares to look at pictures of Hewitt at the same age as Harry they are as alike as 2 peas in a pod.There is an old saying potato you plant potato you get, except in this case it came out as a carrot.

she says on Oprah that she didnt google him, yet she was all over Piers for introductions, and like all before him so called friends get cast aside like dishcloths when they are of no further use. she must have some expert clout on her to have Harry like a lapdog

Apparently Boris Johnson has declined to attend the funeral to make way for family members and Harry.
