The Duke and Duchess of Sussex

[Ex-Ascot]

They can of course call themselves whatever they want but Sussex is a title not a surname. They are Mountbatten-Windsor. Idiots.

[probes]

I got the impression that they have changed their surnames (incl children) to 'Sussex'. Might be wrong of course.

Re post #2995 and the question if Harry and Meghan could lose their titles;

I sincerely bloody well hope they do!!!!

Is a formal name change procedure required in the US? It is in the UK.

[probes]

Well, again, I haven't investigated, but I got the impression that they formally changed the name and the point is, if they can't use (in case the titles were removed after all) the duke/duchess, they're still Sussexes to remind everyone what they used to be?
I may be totally wrong, of course, in which case I apologise for kinda-spreading false information.

Prince Harry says he has considered becoming an American citizen
“It’s a thought that has crossed my mind but it’s not a high priority for me right now,” the Duke of Sussex said in a new interview.

LONDON — Prince Harry has revealed he has considered becoming an American citizen, four years after he and his wife, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, announced they would end their royal duties and move to California.

Speaking at the site of next year's Invictus Games in Whistler, Canada, the Duke of Sussex was asked about his life in the United States and whether he could apply to become a citizen.

"I have considered it, yeah," he said on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Friday. Asked what might stop him applying, he said: "I have no idea."

"It’s a thought that has crossed my mind but it’s not a high priority for me right now," he added.

Harry was speaking weeks after his father, Britain's King Charles III, received a cancer diagnosis. The prince said he heard the news from the king himself and then flew straight to London.

"I love my family, the fact I could jump on a plane and see him and spend any time with him — I’m grateful for that," he said.

Harry would not comment on the king's condition. "That stays between me and him," he said.



Charles was diagnosed with a so-far unspecified form of cancer, which was detected by doctors when he went to a private hospital in London for a routine procedure to treat an enlarged prostate.

The news of his illness came eight months after Charles was crowned in Westminster Abbey, following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in 2022.

Harry has had a famously strained relationship with his father and his elder brother, Prince William, for several years. He flew back to Britain earlier this month to briefly visit the king after his diagnosis, but there have been no reports of a reconciliation with William, the heir to the throne.

Asked whether he found it hard to be away from his family in London, Harry said he would see them as much as he could but added: "I have my own family."

The royal family was the source of pointed criticism in Harry's best-selling book, "Spare," last year.

The British media has long obsessed over Meghan and the couple's decision to quit as front-line royals and move to the U.S. Harry's determination to tame the tabloid press has left him at odds with his family.

Harry, 39, has been promoting the Invictus Games, which he founded for wounded, injured or sick service personnel and veterans after he served in Afghanistan.

He was in Whistler to visit the site for next year's event.

Keep him, he's yours!
I guess we'll find out what he's calling himself when we see his passport application.

To become a US citizen he has to renounce all his titles.

[Ex-Ascot]

He is now saying that due to a number of 'the firm' being Hors de combat he could pop back and help out

One doesn't think so.

Depends on how contrite he is and whether he's willing to toe the family line and behave appropriately. I can't fault him for wanting out, definitely not the sort of job you want to get stuck in if it doesn't suit, but the "how" leaves something to be desired.

Replacing burned bridges would be a major construction project!

Contrite?? Looks very much like he's in need of 'content' to complain about in media. Surely offences are expected.
Man's mind may work in mysterious ways.

Off-guard ?

Off-guard ?

What does the stupid tart thinks she looks like. Totally inappropriate kit.

[1DC]

Apparently it cost 44000quid to kit the woman out for her trip,Ex -A. Bit of a high maintenance item..

[PHXPhlyer]

You mean she couldn't find some sucker clothes maker to give her the stuff in exchange for the exposure?

[Boac]

44000quid???!!! What on earth was she wearing?

[probes]

The horrible beige she was forced into not to clash with any royals, as the headlines informed us some time ago she had thought.
Still haven't got over it, it seems.

[Ex-Ascot]

A very long Markle bashing. Many pertinent points.

5 minutes I might have watched but almost 2 hours?
If you watched all of it a brief summary please.

I did - funny cuts from situations. Nothing totally new, but I haven't been that interested in body language of narcissist, and could draw parallels to one I had the misfortune of having to deal with some time ago, kinda-professionally. So, I dont regret I took the almost 2 hours, plus I was dead tired anyway and it was a welcome excuse for a break .
