BREAKING: Princess Madeleine's children and Prince Carl Philip's children will no longer belong to the Swedish royal house. They will not carry out public duties and no longer remain Royal highnesses but keep their ducal titles. Press conference at 12 noon in Stockholm. Why wouldnโt they have decided this before they were born and not styled them as HRH at all like Edwardโs kids? It just seems messy and inviting of conspiracy theories to do it now. I think when Madeleines first daughter was born Crown Princess Victoria only had her daughter Estelle. There was some question if she would have more thus needing them in the line of succession. Seems like it got a bit out of control I think so they scaled back now thatโs she had a second child.

It should also be noted that Sweden is just keeping it messy. Prince Carl Phillip was striped of his Crown Prince as an infant when the laws were changing to reflect first born regardless of gender. Which was great but itโs like they followed some weird tradition. So odd.

Your comment inferred it but I donโt care enough to go round and round tbh Why because I said that I needed to stay off twitter because of other people's comments? Look everyone can say what they want and I am not saying that Kate hasn't had comments but to for twitter comments to infer that Meghan shouldn't have filed a lawsuit because Kate has dealt with it too and didn't file anything is stupid. They are 2 different people and while neither woman deserves anything (hello topless picturegate where I was outraged for Kate) I am glad Meghan is taking a stand Especially over Racist comments. Believe it or not. Lol you seem riled up, I am not against the lawsuit I was only speaking to part of your comment. One has nothing to do with other in my mind. This lawsuit and the comments Meghan has had to deal with had nothing to do with what has Kate has to deal with and vice vs. It is the constant comparison when there doesnโt need to be one. I donโt care if you still off Twitter or not, my response had nothing to do with that.

That Swedish announcement seems dramatic. Lol I get that itโs normal. My question is why did they randomly decide to do it now? I agree that it should have been decided before the kids were born. Seems weird to actually take titles away at random young ages. So they will still be Prince/Princess and Duke/Duchess but wonโt be Royal Hignesses anymore. And they wonโt be paid/included in the grant (this really wonโt be much of a change until they are grown up since their parents roleโs arenโt changing so they keep their grant). It also means they get much more freedom to live more normal lives when they grow up including getting jobs and starting a business. Supposedly the government has been talking about maybe limiting the grants but nothing has been decided. Itโs reported though that this is the King now trying to prevent such a decision by choosing himself who to cut and who to keep.

And previously Madeleine might have been forced to move back to Sweden soon since her children would have to go to school in Sweden to be part of the royal house (or at least that was a common interpretation of the rules). Now they can stay in Florida if thatโs what they want. It seems both Carl Philip and Madeleine are ok/happy about this change.
I did read somewhere earlier today that they will stay in the line of succession though. Didnโt see anything about it now when I skimmed a few articles.

The blue dress thing looks like a habit. But, like, in a good way, I think? Meanwhile, I watched the mental health PSA on insta and it hit me right in the feels. Which is a sign that I need more coffee. I love that they are all together and taking on Mental health. It is such an important cause that they are going to do a great deal of good with

I quit twitter 4 years ago and have never been more happy about it. It seems to have descended into even deeper depths of villainy and depravity and i can't take that kind of negativity in my daily life.

It seems to have descended into even deeper depths of villainy and depravity and i can't take that kind of negativity in my daily life. My twitter feed is almost exclusively cat videos, mixed with some updates from my kidsโ school and our local park department. I can always go find anything else I want, but this mix works for me.

I was responding to your comment, which did in fact mention Kate. Maybe in a different context and I misunderstood.

Iโm more into those kids getting titles taken away. Why now? Did they foresee a slimming down any earlier?

Maybe Harry and Meghan saw this coming for the BRF and didnโt want to give Will the upper hand when he is king to strip their kids of titles or something. Especially since the BRF also seems to be slimming down.
