Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Cancel Plans for Baby Lilibet Diana’s Christening in the UK
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have made the surprising decision to cancel their plans to christen their baby, Lilibet Diana, in the UK.
This move could potentially jeopardize Lilibet's place in the line of succession.
The cancellation has raised eyebrows, as Lilibet would not be considered a member of the Church of England until she arrived in Britain and joined a Church of England congregation.
Currently, little Lily holds the eighth position in the line of succession to the British throne.
It is important to note that a member of the royal family does not necessarily need to be baptized to maintain their place in the line of succession, with one exception.
If a member of the royal family is baptized as a Catholic, they are unable to remain in the line of succession.
Several of the Queen's cousin, the Duke of Kent's children and grandchildren, have lost their place in the line of succession by converting to Catholicism, following in the footsteps of their mother, Catherine, the Duchess of Kent.
However, sources suggest that Lilibet will most likely be christened into the Episcopal Church of the US, which is a member of the worldwide Anglican Communion.
This choice would not exclude her from the line of succession, as it is not considered an incompatible religion with the Church of England.
In addition, the Globe reports that Queen Elizabeth is furious and has allegedly decreed that Prince Harry be removed from the line of succession, ensuring that he and Meghan will never sit on the throne.
Queen Elizabeth and senior family members have supposedly ordered constitutional changes to prevent him from ruling Britain.
However, it is important to note that Queen Elizabeth does not possess the power or authority to remove Prince Harry from the line of succession, even if she desires to do so.
The rules of succession are dictated by Parliament.
Despite the controversy surrounding their decision, Meghan, Harry, and their two-year-old son Archie are said to be overjoyed with their new life with Lily.
According to a source, every day brings more happiness, love, and gratitude for the family.
Harry, in particular, shares a special bond with his daughter.
He adores Lily, often reading her bedtime stories and soothing her to sleep.
His touch is said to have a magical effect.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have found some relief with their second child, as they receive additional help while caring for both Lily and Archie.
Although they do have nannies available when their schedules become overwhelming, they remain actively involved in their children's lives.
The couple prefers to minimize the use of hired help, relying on the techniques they learned while raising Archie.
This approach has made things somewhat easier for them with Lily, despite the increased workload.
In related news, Paul Burrell, a former employee of the Queen and Princess Diana, expressed his opinion on the Sussexes blurring the lines between royalty and celebrity.
Burrell believes that part of the fascination and popularity surrounding the royal family is the mystery that shrouds their private lives.
By sharing glimpses into their life, Harry and Meghan shock and scandalize the public, deepening the rift within the family.
Burrell anticipates that Harry's upcoming book will be even more shocking, as publishers seek to capitalize on the intrigue.
Burrell also emphasizes that attempting to blur the distinction between being royal and being celebrities is unsuccessful.
He argues that it is their royal status that makes the Sussexes interesting, and any attempt to deviate from this will only serve to undermine their appeal.
