Prince Harry describes the moment he helped to bring his daughter into the world.

"When the doctor said it was a matter of minutes, I told Meg that I wanted mine to be the first face our little girl saw."

The Duke later added: "I slid my hands under the tiny back and neck. Gently, but firmly, as I'd seen in films, I pulled our precious daughter from that world into this, and cradled her just a moment, trying to smile at her, to see her, but honestly, I couldn't see anything.

I wanted to say: Hello. I wanted to say: Where have you come from?

I wanted to say: Is it better there? Is it peaceful? Are you frightened? Don't be, don’t be, all will be well. I'll keep you safe."

HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY TO THE LITTLE CUPCAKE HRH PRINCE LOUIS ARTHUR CHARLES OF WALES ♡

On 23 April 2018, Prince Louis was born to Catherine and William, then known as Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in St Mary's Hospital, London, at 11:01 BST. He was born during the reign of his paternal great-grandmother Elizabeth II as the third child and second son of Will & Cat. The new prince's name was announced as Louis Arthur Charles in honour of his 3rd-great-uncle Earl Mountbatten of Burma - Louis, his father - Prince William and his paternal grandfather - Charles. The 11 week old little prince was christened by the archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, on 9 July in the Chapel Royal at St James's Palace. He wore the handmade replica of the Royal Christening Robe, and the Lily Font and water from the River Jordan were used during the baptism. Louis spent the early years of his life at Apartment IA at Kensington Palace and Anmer Hall. He started at Willcocks Nursery School near Kensington Palace in April 2021. In 2022, the family relocated to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor, after which he started at Lambrook School along with his older siblings. Born as a Prince of Cambridge, he became HRH Prince Louis of Wales after his his grandfather conferred his parents with the titles of the Prince and Princess of Wales. Louis is currently fourth in line to the throne. He made his official royal debut at the Trooping of Colour in 2019 and since then has accompanied his parents and siblings for engagements and events including his great-grandmother's Platinum Jubilee in 2022 and his grandfather's Coronation in 2023. Louis, who enjoys being outdoors, is known to be mad about rugby and loves cricket and tennis. As per his mother, he's got the signature ballboy pose down perfectly. He is also 'very quick' on his scooter and loves gardening. The little cutie is very proud of his sunflowers.

BRF Reading - 19th of February, 2024

This is speculation only

Cards drawn on the 19th of February, 2024

Question: Why did Harry and Meghan change their name to Sussex?

Note: This reading was done with upright cards, so no reversals

Note 2: I deliberately did not tune into Harry's energy or Meghan's energy for this reading, as I am not prepared to deal with their nonsense tonight. So this is a very abstract and cerebral reading - I am open to what the universe wants to tell me but not ot the Harkles themselves.

Interpretation: It is some sort of move against The King

Card One: The Eight of Cups

This is a card about abandoning something and/or walking away from something. The idea of abandonment resonates with the energy of this card. It is rather obvious that Harry and Meghan have abandoned the Archewell name with all the failures associated with it. However, this is something different. The abandoning of the surname Mountbatten-Windsor and the adoption of the surname Sussex for their children should not have any impact on their brand. It is very clearly a move away from the royal family with the abandoning of the traditional royal surname. I feel that there is something else going on, something that involves the emotions, as Cups is the suit of emotions.

I drew a clarifier, and it was the Seven of Swords. This is the thief card, the card of trickery and deceit. There is something underhanded going on here, more than just doing the website without telling the palace. I can think of two scenarios that could apply here: 1) They are doing this to hang on to the Duke of Sussex title somehow (even if we lose the title we still have the surname) and to set up a victim narrative for the future, and/or 2) By abandoning the Mountbatten-Windsor surname, they are aiming to hurt The King by not carrying the royal surname. If so, it seems a very short sighted move for Harry, who has just said that he would love to return to the royal family, but then long term planning has never been their forte.

This could also be to make the children sound more royal, Prince Archie of Sussex as opposed to Archie Mountbatten-Windsor for example. If they are simply using Archie Sussex instead of Archie Mountbatten-Windsor then their is no change in how royal the child sounds. Ditto for Lili.

I may be wrong, but AFAIK there were no surnames used for Harry or Meghan on the website - if so, then there is nothing to say that the change is not intended for all four of them. Instead of the Kardashians, we will have the Sussexes.

Card Two: Death

Death is the card of change and transformation, so there is some sort of change going on here. The children's surnames may be part of a bigger transformation that is being planned for the future.

Death is the card of Scorpio, and The King is a sun sign Scorpio. The energy from this card is that of The King, and that tells me that this action was aimed at The King. I don't know if it was to hurt him or emotionally blackmail him or to try and force his hand, or all of the above, but it was definitely aimed at The King. They think that changing the surname of their children is going to affect what The King does in some way.

Card Three: The Nine of Pentacles

This is the card of financial security, having your efforts rewarded, luxury, and independence. It is the 'single, independent woman' card in the traditional Rider-Waite deck.

The energy from this card is money. This is all about money, and status, but mainly money. There is a satisfied, smug energy from this card, a sense of finally having enough money and having the money that you deserve. The energy is of lots of money and a sense of "Yes. I have finally got what is mine". Meghan and Harry think that this change is somehow going to get them the money that they believe belongs to them, most likely from The King, given the energy of the last card. I have no idea how this is going to work, but that is what is coming through the card - the deception and underhanded emotional stuff will work and they will be rolling in money.

As this card is the single independent woman card, then if the couple divorce, it appears that this name change makes Meghan think that she will be rolling in money if and when she gets rid of Harry.

All I can say is that whatever those two are on, it must be good.

Card Four: The Hermit

The Hermit is the card of Virgo, and I am getting Harry energy from this card (Harry is a sun sign Virgo). The energy of this card ties back to the one before it - Harry thinks that this name change will somehow give him the money and the status that he thinks he deserves, and he is feeling quite smug about it.

Underlying Energy: The Page of Swords

This is my card for gossip, and the website and its changes have certainly been talked about. However, the energy of this card is of a message (pages are messengers). The Page of Swords can bring messages about gossip, legal matters, agreements between parties, or other like matters. The card can represent a new strategy, and that energy is coming through as well, but mainly this is a message.

Under the late Queen, Harry and Meghan said they wanted their children to be Master and Miss Mountbatten-Windsor. Now they have changed their children to Sussex. The energy of the message feels like a dare or a challenge. They are challenging The King to stop them, and if he takes the bait, they will scream that the King is interfering with their rights as parents or something like that. I'm not quite sure how this is supposed to work, but it is definitely a message and a challenge.

Conclusion:

Harry and Meghan changed/are changing the surname of the children (and for all we know, their own) to show that they were abandoning something. There is something deceitful involved in the action - either it is a lie that they are using to test The King or some other type of deceit is involved. It was an action designed to hurt The King or to force his hand about something, either now or in the future. It is an action that both of them believe will give them the money they think they deserve - I have no idea how. Finally, it was a challenge to the authority of The King, in a 'we can do this and you can't stop us' kind of way.

I’m going to hell for saying this, but I think the reason H&M don’t publicly shill their kids is because they’re really not photogenic. Just based off of the pictures we have seen of them. They’ve already monetised the kids before (Netflix bath pictures, Archie’s H&M outift), but I can see them not doing so more simply because they just aren’t conventionally beautiful. How a kid looks shouldn’t matter, but I can see H&M being shallow enough to care - especially given how photogenically cute Charlotte was at that age.

Also, those kids are 1/4 black - they’re not biracial. The older they get and more clear that is, the more people will quickly get sick of H&M weaponising very serious and very real racial issues over kids that will never face the same discrimination as a black person.

I'm going to be joining you in Hell because I agree with you.

When you look at everything we have seen of those kids we get photos from the side or out of focus. Heck, Lili's 1st birthday photo was heavily edited to make her look more Windsor and they gave her red hair.

It has to kill Meghan because when she sees the Wales kids.

George is starting to look like a Windsor more and more and he has those golden locks.

Charlotte is a carbon copy of William, aka Diana.

Louis is Catherine's mini-me.

I think there was a reason we never got infant photos of Lili. I believe, even though she is only 1/4 black, that when she was born her skin color was darker than Meghan would have preferred. Over time her skin lightened, as pigments tend to lighten or darken, but yeah...

Also, Archie's hair is brown. Not red.

I also think those kids look way more like Tom Markle, aka Meghan before the plastic surgery, than they do the Windsor's.

Meghan really wanted a Diana mini-me like Charlotte but she forgot to take into account that Harry looks way more like the Mountbatten side of his family and he has zero Spencer in him.

[brf-rumortrackinganon]

I’m sure this would have been mentioned but could they have changed their last name to Sussex so that when Meghan divorces Harry she has the Sussex surname instead of Markle so she keeps the Royal connection?

No. Meghan's surname has legally been Sussex since May 19, 2018.

It's the children who haven't been able to use 'Sussex' as a surname. The "we finally have the same last name" comment is meant to cause outrage in people who don't know what has really been happening or how titles and styles work. It's a 'fuck you' to Charles.

Meghan still gets to keep the title after a divorce. Under the divorce protocols, Meghan becomes Meghan, Duchess of Sussex instead of Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, as she has been known since Megxit*. Meghan, Duchess of Sussex becomes her title for life unless she remarries and takes her new husband's name; however, that is only an assumption. Neither Diana nor Sarah have remarried so we don't actually know where the palace actually stands on this.

*Meghan's full official title is Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex but use of the HRH went into abeyance per the terms of the Sandringham Summit/Megxit. The HRHs still belong to her and Harry, they just can't use them. This is why they're fighting so hard for half in/half out - being "in" (even if only part time) lets them use their HRHs again.

Keep reading for how the Sussex title conversation got to where it is today...

A disclaimer first - I'm not an expert by any means on titles. My knowledge on titles comes from the royal books I've read and it is totally possible I may be wrong on any of this.

When Harry was getting married, Queen Elizabeth gave him a new title, The Duke of Sussex, as a wedding gift. This is an important distinction to make - the title was given to Harry only, not to Harry and Meghan. (I see a lot of newer fans/royal watchers making this mistake.) When Meghan married Harry and became his wife, she took The Duchess of Sussex as her new married name (with Duchess being the female equivalent of Duke). Meghan is also able to use Harry's HRH in this way too; she only has HRH because it's Harry's and she assumed it as part of his Duke of Sussex surname.

Royal family protocol is that if you have a title - whether it's your own or courtesy of your husband or father - then that title becomes your surname. Hence Kate calling herself Mrs. Cambridge and George being registered for school as George Cambridge. If you don't have a title, then you use the family's surname, Mountbatten-Windsor.

Princess Anne was the first person to use Mountbatten-Windsor in an official capacity when she signed the marriage register with Mark Phillips. Lady Louise (Edward and Sophie's daughter) is the first person to actually be known with Mountbatten-Windsor as her surname; her actual name is Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor. And also William used Mountbatten-Windsor as his surname when he sued over Kate's topless photos, which suggests that the titled members of the family may use Mountbatten-Windsor in a personal capacity.

Because Harry and Meghan declined titles for their children, Archie and Lili's surname at birth were Mountbatten-Windsor. So the family was The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Master Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, and Miss Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor. Even if Harry and Meghan had allowed their children to use their titles from birth, they still all would've had different surnames: The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, the Earl of Dumbarton, and Lady Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor.

But now that Archie and Lili are grandchildren of the monarchy and eligible to use HRH Prince/Princess honorifics (per the 1917 letters patent), Harry and Meghan have changed their minds on allowing Archie and Lili to use titles. So now Archie and Lili can use their own titles (technically Harry's title) and now everyone finally has the same surname under family protocol of using Dad's title as their surname - all four of them are now legally HRH ____ of Sussex, even though the HRHs are in abeyance.

This is where the 'eff you' to Charles comes in: if the BRF had just done a new letters patent for Harry and Meghan's kids when she was pregnant with Archie (as they did for William and Kate) then all of this would have been avoided in the first place. So in Harry and Meghan's eyes, it's the BRF's fault they're weren't a 'real' family until just now when they all began using the Sussex surname.

Other than remarrying after a divorce or Harry's death, the only way Meghan loses Sussex is if the title is removed from Harry - voluntarily, by Parliament, or by Charles. If Harry doesn't have the title, then Meghan can't use the title and neither can the children. If this were to happen, then Harry becomes The Prince Harry ('The' signifying he is the son of the reigning monarch), Meghan becomes The Princess Harry, and I'm not sure what Archie and Lili get.

In this case, I can see Harry and Meghan legally changing their family's surname from Mountbatten-Windsor to Sussex so the family can continue being Sussex without Harry having the title but I can't see anyone taking it away at this point, even if Parliament did change the laws. What's probably more likely is a letters patent from Charles that converts the Sussex title from "Harry and the heirs male of his body lawfully begotten" to just Harry and only for his lifetime (as Charles awarded Edward the Duke of Edinburgh title).

Princess Lilibet wore the 'Carine' dress from dôen in 'Bluebell Hillside Bloom' for the 4th of July parade in Montecito, CA.

Meghan wore the Boden striped pants, Valentino sunglasses, with a striped sweater and a crisp white button shirt.

“I never understood why Meghan and Harry never let Archie and Lili use their titles "Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, Earl of Dumbarton" and "Lady Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor" but jumped on the chance to use Prince/Princes….I mean the Earl and Lady titles were their "BIrtHRIghTs" as well and nobody was stopping them from using it?” - Submitted by Anonymous

To the anon who is asking about H&M logic, I want to point out they made a whole 6 part documentary where they compared the commonwealth to a modern form of colonialism and went as far as decontextualize a speech of QEII to make her look bad and prove their point, just to announce that their children were given HRH titles that linked (and ranked) to the racist, obsolete institution they were condemning.

Bingo. It doesn’t make sense. Their children were entitled to the HRH once QEII died, so there’s no getting rid of that, but they so easily could’ve gone the James and Louise route and simply not bothered from the beginning (like they did when they asked not to use Archie’s courtesy title at birth) and yet they’re using the Prince/Princess anyway. The website says everything we need to know - James and Louise don’t have their Prince/Princess there (because it was rejected from the moment they were entitled to it) but Archie and Lili do because their parents didn’t reject it from the moment they were entitled to it. It doesn’t make any sense. They really accepted that HRH Prince/Princess and then bitched about how it forcibly included their children in an institution they’ve actively pretended to reject since Day 1. If it was really about protecting the kids from the colonialist institution, then they would’ve rejected that entitlement from the very beginning. They could so easily be Earl of Dumbarton and Lady Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor (or even just Master Archie Mountbatten-Windsor and Miss Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor) but Harry and Meghan clearly did not want that or else they could have made it happen - there’s a very obvious precedent. They chose to link their children to that obsolete institution that apparently has not cared about the Sussexes since 2016 - why? Why would you do that? Perhaps to stay connected, which is their only true link to relevancy? It doesn’t make any sense. It’s all bullshit, honestly, and that’s why nobody believes a word they say about anything. It’s been nothing but bullshit since 2021.
