(Otherwise known as Church of England.) In USA it is known as the Episcopal Church and its members definitely baptise or christen their children when young. Not sure why you would think being Catholic applies here? His Grandmother is the Head of the Anglican Church in the UK and the Jubilee service at St Paul's Cathedral was an Anglican celebration. So one would expect that the two Sussex children will both be christened and brought up in that faith. Archie has already been accepted into the Anglican Community and surely Lilibet will follow suit?

With the pandemic, traveling home (especially with 1, then 2 little ones) was just never going to be simple for them. It got me that Lili had not ever been to England, even while Meghan was pregnant! I’m happy they were able to connect with family and friends. They chose to step back as working royals, and they chose to come back on an incredibly busy weekend for the Cambridges & their children. I wouldn’t be surprised if their children didn’t get to see each other-Sussexes being based on Windsor & Cambridges needing to be in London. Maybe another time when there is much less pressure of being public at a milestone jubilee and a first visit back for the Sussexes. Lili is darling and it’s amazing how much she resembles Eugenie & August! Genes are funny and even with the Cambridges kids, as they grow they resemble different sides. :) SueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523822918879524553.post-48465886101945935232022-06-06T20:43:16.431+01:002022-06-06T20:43:16.431+01:00As some style journalist said when Meghan wore a d...As some style journalist said when Meghan wore a dark blue Dior dress at some event, it was “achingly stylish”. This white dress/coat was so obviously Dior, and every inch perfect for the event. Is it just me, or is Zara wearing the same coat/dress only in hot pink? Zara’s had pin tucks on the front, but otherwise could be the same as Meghan’s.<br /><br />Two things, people keep taking about a christening that would be private while they were in the UK anything is possible of course, but Meghan is an American, and not Catholic. Christening babies in the USA isn’t a common practice, is in fact for Protestant churchs very rare. Baptism is for adults who have made the decision themselves.<br />Second, is it true they have left already? I am sad about that. <br />But as an adult who has no contact with my family, except for my sister & her kids, I get the difficulties involved in visits with them. Having to do it, with the eyes of the world on you must be overwhelming.

It seems like they could have appeared with the entire family including almost all the children in the royal box on Sunday. Little August would look cute next to little Lili. I really don't get it. Hard to be a beloved family member if you have to be hidden from the public. I hope the Queen really did get to spend time with them and was glad to see smiles with their fellow nonworking cousins.

But on a very instinctive level, in a world of constant sadness and crisis, I would have liked to see images of 'reconciliation' between the brothers, and father/son. It felt a bit as if Harry and Meghan were ignored, which is not to say that it's the other party's fault, maybe Harry and Meghan didn't try /want to participate as much, but all in all, I just wish that they have somewhat mended their relationship. It's interesting psychologically, why we care. We do not really know them. And I personally would not have desired a false PR scene of reconciliation. I find myself genuinely wishing that they have in fact started to move forward. We have seen these boys,now men, grow up, console one another, be there for each other, in good times and bad. It was an exceptional brotherly relationship, a model to aspire to, and the falling out and the ensuing lack of communication at least in public, has somewhat dimmed the possibility of such a lovely relationship. This was just my rant, I hope it makes some sense!

It wouldn't make sense for the whole family to fly there for just one event. <br />My thought is that they were not happy by the booing they received and decided to forgo other events. Harry is very protective and it would fit that he would do that to protect the family. It is a shame some booed but they should be told William & Kate got booed too recently. And also after publicly criticizing his family, it should be expected that some will not be happy with them. Hopefully, they will see the queen privately and others.Georgiananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523822918879524553.post-14154133519198925382022-06-05T15:40:27.999+01:002022-06-05T15:40:27.999+01:00I remember the diamond jubilee relatively clearly....I remember the diamond jubilee relatively clearly. William and Kate had got married only a year before. There was the pageant on the River Thames and a concert at Buckingham Palace. I remember it ended with “our house” and everything felt very relatable and promising. <br />Now I am still impressed by the dignity and historic weight being displayed. And of course her Majesty is incredible! The way her eyes sparkle at 96. There are not enough words to thank her for so much work for her country. Sadly we all no this is probably the last time to celebrate an event like this. Now we already see the line up for the years to come. And I feel my interest is decreasing. The slimmed down monarchy with picture perfect colour matching dressed people is somehow static and very different from the crowded balconies of the past. The times coming will not be easy and I do not see the energies and dynamics to meet the challenges that will come. But this is only my very personal view.<br />Harry and Meghan were impressive. Harry’s tension at church was palpable but he seems determined to save something from his home and upbringing for the future. Meghan looked just wonderful. Her hats were to die for. And I hope they had a lot of time with her Majesty in Windsor.

And I'm thinking -- I want to see Meghan all dressed up. But maybe she doesn't have the same motivation. They may have the chance to be with the Queen longer, perhaps watch the concert with her -- something they would enjoy much more than watching the singers in person. The more I think about, the less it seems reasonable that they would go.

The focus was to be on the Queen. If Kate looked over her shoulder , or William made that side glance he inherited from his mother , it would have been construed as them scowling at Meghan & Harry. If Harry did a look over the aisle with a neutral face, his mouth closed , looking as he does like Prince Phillip , it would have been construed as his being upset. I agree that Charles has an opportunity here to at least nod to Harry in public if the opportunity arises. I know Meghan and Harry control the images of their children, so while I hope there is a photo, it may stay in the family.
