‘Shouldn’t be Prince or Princess of anything!’: Lady C rages at Sussex’s HRH title protest
LADY COLIN CAMPBELL was speaking to GB News’ Dan Wootton when she unleashed a scathing rant aimed at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s reported anger at the news their children won’t be granted HRH status.
Archie and Lilibet ‘should be treated like Wessexes’ says Lady C
While King Charles III is expected to anoint Prince Archie, three, and Princess Lilibet, one, in the near future, it’s widely reported the Sussex children won’t be granted HRH status. According to reports, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are “furious” at the decision, but it has sparked debate among royal commentators as to whether it is the right call given the Sussexes departure from leading figures in the Royal Family. In fact, Lady C told Dan Wootton that any pressure put on the new King to grant HRH status to the youngsters was “vulgar” and “tasteless”.
Referring to the reports, GB News’ Dan first made his stance on the issues clear, saying to Lady C: “I have to admit, Lady C, it’s very bizarre to me.
“I mean why on earth given the way they feel about the institution, given the way they seem to feel about Britain, why on earth would they want to give their children an HRH title and make them a prince and a princess?

“I mean, it just seems bizarre,” he added, prompting Lady C to reply: “But they are bizarre! They are opportunistic, it’s all about money and recognition and status and to make more money and get more attention.
“Let’s remember that there is a precedent for the grandchildren of a monarch to not have the use of prime and princess.

The Prince and Princess of Wales had a remarkably different attitude to the Sussexes when they greeted the public at Windsor, a body language expert has noted.
“Let us remember Lord Severn and Lady Louise Windsor, they are the grandchildren of Her Late Majesty. So there is absolutely no reason why the King should feel pressurised by the neo-puritanical American press and the neo-puritanical supporters of Harry and Meghan who are allowing themselves to be used to denigrate Anglo-Saxon culture not only here but in the United States of America.
“There are issues that are rather larger, political issues, than just the titles of the children,” she ranted.
Lady C continued: “But where Harry and Meghan are concerned, they want to have their cake and eat it at the same time and they would like everybody to be aware of the fact and throw it in everybody’s face ‘Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet’.”
The former I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! star criticised: “Prince Archie! Prince Archibald is fine but Prince Archie – is this Archie Bunker come to life? And Princess Lilibet, who ever heard of a princess having a nickname as a proper name?
“The whole thing is tasteless, vulgar and just shows the total lack of appreciation of what being royal is all about.
“It’s not about making money and it’s not about capitalising, it’s about using their god-given position to serve the British people and the British Commonwealth – not to serve themselves and I think the whole thing stinks to high heavens.”
Weighing in with what she thinks King Charles should do in response to the reported uproar, Lady C went on: “Personally, I do not think that King Charles should allow those children to be called Prince or Princess anything!
“I think that the situation should be replicated as to what has happened with the Wessex children, that should be the beginning and the end of it.
“There is already a precedent. Harry and Meghan are not any more special and their children are no more special than the Earl and Countess of Wessex and their two children, I think that’s it in a nutshell.”
Lady C’s outrage comes after a source told The Sun: “Harry and Meghan were worried about the security issue and being prince and princess brings them the right to have certain levels of royal security.
“There have been a lot of talks over the past week. They have been insistent that Archie and Lilibet are prince and princess.
“But they have been left furious that Archie and Lilibet cannot take the title HRH. That is the agreement — they can be prince and princess but not HRH because they are not working royals.”
