Chronicles Of Harkle: My Thoughts On Baby Lili’s Arrival

I’ve known this was coming for a while, but it was just a matter of when the situation would play out. Yes, I am talking about the arrival of Baby Lili Mountbatten-Windsor, the daughter of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. I have addressed some of this already, especially in THIS post. The Sussexes have been a predictable pair for a while. Look at the stunt pulled on their nephew Prince Louis’ birthday with THAT paparazzi shot. Talk about a scandal! Trying to one-up a three-year-old on his big day is not on! How would Megsy feel if someone did that to her kids? She’d be pissed, for sure! Thank god only Page Six published it and no one else.

Baby Lili was born into a broken family, started by her mother, Meghan. Sorry, not sorry, Sugars. Before I go on, I want to say I would NEVER want a child to suffer in any way, shape, or form. Archie and his little sister do not deserve to live their lives away from a family who clearly loves them. I covered how different the childhoods of the Sussex kids and their Cambridge cousins are. I’ve also talked about how Thomas Markle has no right to demand to see his grandchildren.

The Sussex children’s great-grandmother, Her Majesty The Queen, will never get to meet Baby Lili if Meghan has anything to say about it. Now, this is not just my opinion. Many others have said the same thing, and we’re justified. Look at how Markle has treated her family and former friends. She talks to none of the people who attended her first wedding to Trevor Engelson. Instead, she has big-named friends like Serena Williams and Katharine McPhee-Foster. Oh, and Chrissy Teigen. Cannot forget her.

Naming Baby Lili ‘Lilibet’ Is A Middle Finger To The Queen From Harry & Meghan

Meghan and Harry don’t care if they hurt the royal family. They gave Her Majesty the middle finger and made the non-verbal message, “You didn’t give us what we wanted, so we’re taking something else from you.” Who the hell names their child with someone else’s very personal nickname? Now, before I go on here, I want to say that yes, The Queen’s nickname ‘Lilibet’ is known to the public, but we don’t use it when addressing her as it is not our business, but to address her as ‘The Queen’, ‘Her Majesty’ or ‘Queen Elizabeth II’.

Now, if the royal family were to hit back at Harry and Meghan, they would say they’re disrespectful by using such a personal moniker for their child’s first name. Then the couple themselves would likely say, “She doesn’t own the right to use ‘Lilibet’.” This would be like the tantrum they threw over being unable to use the word ‘royal’.

The Archewell press release assumes that Baby Lili’s name is meant to be an olive branch towards the family. Umm… sorry, but I personally don’t see it. Why not just name the baby ‘Lili’ or ‘Elizabeth’ but still call her ‘Lily’ with whatever spelling they prefer? Oh, no, wait. Then, her name would be too close to Princess Charlotte’s, which is Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, and we all know how much MM apparently despises their young niece. They just thought they’d go down the more ‘personal’ route and use something that only The Queen is entitled to be called.

Cashing In On Those Royal Ties

We all know how much Meghan and Harry love to cash in on their royal connections. Baby Lili’s name is just that: a tie to the institution they were desperate to escape. So, why name their daughter after the head of The Firm, whom they claimed made racist comments towards an unborn Archie? As the Royal News Network points out, about five years from now, the Sussexes will be totally irrelevant to the world. As the Cambridge children continue to grow up, the spotlight will be on them more as they take responsibility from their parents.

Harry and Meghan do all they can to make themselves look and feel important when losing an uphill battle. Also, when George, Charlotte, and Louis marry and have their own children, the Sussexes will be pushed even further down the line of succession to the point they’ll be cast out almost entirely. More than they already are currently. After all, Prince Charles has been looking at slimming down the monarchy for years, which has nothing to do with his wayward younger son and daughter-in-law.

Meghan and Harry have been using their titles for commercial gain. They can’t seem to understand that MM isn’t a great actor, and Harry couldn’t get into Sandhurst without help. The only reason he got in was because of his station in life as Her Majesty’s grandson. Also, Trevor, Meggy’s ex-hubby, allegedly got her the role on Suits. Oh, and let’s not forget that she got walk-on roles in films her former spouse produced. Not precisely star quality.

With Meghan’s children’s book coming out and falling down the bestseller list quicker than anyone can keep track, they’ve only got themselves to blame.

The Birth Of Baby Lili Is Not An Olive Branch To Anyone

Baby Lili and Archie will grow up and see all their friends with their grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins and other relatives and will question why they don’t have that same connection. Their parents are only going to lie to them and say that the royal family, the Spencers, the Markles and the Raglands are toxic and they’re the only family they need.

We know that Prince Charles adores his grandchildren. He has allegedly only seen Archie twice since his birth in 2019. There’s the prospect that he could never meet Lili, which is horribly sad. His son is being spiteful, and for what? Because he was told he couldn’t have what he wanted when he had been given everything he’s ever asked for leading up to being told ‘no’?

Just a couple of years ago, Prince Harry was PRAISING his father. Now, he’s trashing him for being a terrible parent. He’s one to talk when he’s only been a dad for two years. I spoke about this a while ago. He sees himself as the perfect parent when he’s obviously not. Every person who has children raises them differently. Princess Diana had a very hands-on approach to how she raised her boys. This is the same approach William is taking with his three kids. Given his and Catherine’s workload, they have a nanny to watch the children when necessary.

Harry is probably doing the same thing with his kids, but we’ve heard Archie had several nannies fired because his parents were paranoid after an incident that hadn’t been made public. Who knows actually knows the truth outside of the Sussexes?

I’m sorry if anyone actually believes Baby Lili will serve as an olive branch.
