Prince Harry took Princess Lilibet to an Independence Day parade in Montecito

Prince Harry and Princess Lilibet went to a Fourth of July parade in Montecito! Some paparazzo got exclusive pics of Harry and Lili at the parade, with Lili being carried by her dad. She’s really a redhead, just like her big brother and her father. Harry’s redheaded Spencer genes really bodied those Ragland-Markle genes, my God. I mean, I do think Archie is going to take after his mother in the long run – I think Archie got Meghan’s eyes and nose, although I’m not 100% sure. Anyway, it’s lovely to see a soon-to-be American citizen with his adorable anchor baby!

Speaking of, the Mail’s coverage of these photos was hilariously unhinged. Just an FYI of how the sausage is made: these photos are very, very expensive. They are Backgrid exclusives, which means that only major sites like People Magazine, Page Six and the Daily Mail can even afford them. Meaning, the Mail spent thousands of dollars on these photos just to GASP about how Harry enjoyed an American holiday with his daughter “just hours” before his father’s dumb Scottish coronation. This was seriously the Mail’s headline: “It’s Prince Harry’s Independence Day: Duke underlines split from The Firm as he takes two-year-old daughter Lilibet (who hasn’t seen her grandfather Charles for a year) to a July 4th parade near their Montecito home hours before King’s Scottish Coronation.” The “(who hasn’t seen her grandfather Charles for a year)” is SENDING ME. Pretty sure Grandpa Charles evicted Lili from her British home right before Grandpa refused to invite her to his coronation. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Princess Lilibet has been pictured with Prince Harry at an Independence Day parade in Montecito just hours before her grandfather King Charles III attended his second Coronation ceremony in Edinburgh. The Duke of Sussex appeared to underline his retirement from The Firm as he took her to the California celebration on July 4, as the US marked its independence from British rule.

But as he was showing two-year-old Lilibet the Montecito Association’s Village Road Show, his father King Charles was preparing for one of the most important moments of his rule: a second Coronation in the country his beloved second son once called home.

Accompanied by family members including Prince Harry’s own brother Prince William, the King and Queen Camilla were honoured in a prestigious event at St Giles’ Cathedral, attended by senior royals. But the Duke himself was nowhere to be seen. Prince Harry did attend his father’s official Coronation, the first in the UK in 70 years, but was only on UK soil for a matter of hours before he returned to the US to celebrate his son Archie’s birthday, which fell on the same day. His American wife Meghan Markle and two children remained in the US at their Montecito home.

Sources previously said the decision by Meghan to remain in California had come as a relief in some circles, following fears her presence could have heightened family tensions.

The Duke of Sussex was pictured introducing his youngest child to the American holiday, which sees countless US flags, cheering crowds and parties across the nation.

Carrying his precious daughter in his arms, Harry appeared to be trying to keep a low profile as he wore blue jeans, a green shirt, green cap pulled over his face and sunglasses. Princess Lilibet wore a blue dress, white socks and red shoes, and was seen peering out at the motorcade as it passed.

The parade the royal attended featured vehicles decorated in Independence Day-themed memorabilia – but it came just a matter of hours before one of the biggest days in his father’s life.

[From The Daily Mail]

OH MY GOD. Prince Harry existed at a parade just hours before his father’s stupid coronation? Harry celebrated American independence from the British crown within the same 24 hours as his father getting booed in Edinburgh?? “The American holiday, which sees countless US flags, cheering crowds and parties across the nation.” Wait until they hear about fireworks stands in grocery store parking lots, hot-dog eating contests, smoke-outs, BBQs, and red-white-and-blue cupcakes.

PS… I saw some blurry pics which indicated to me that Meghan and Archie were also there. I wonder if Backgrid is sitting on those photos to drive the price up.

    My god, they shouldn’t be publishing Lilibet’s photos! At all. At least the DF blurred her face, but PageSix printing her in Harry’s arms… I hope the Sussexes stay safe!

    • Jan says:

      The Dailyfail first published them with out her face blurred.

      • Sugarhere says:

        Still, I can’t say why, but I’m feeling very emotional looking at baby Lilibet. This tiny Spencer melts my heart, so I am moderately mad at the Ditch Mail on this one.

    • Aurelia says:

      The parents gave their permission if unblurred

      • Afken says:

        Are you dating harry and Meghan gave their permission? Because that is obviously untrue

      • Agreatreckoning says:

        No @Aurelia. It depends on a state’s law regarding the publishing the photos of children. California and New York have different laws.

    • James says:

      But also I think we should hold celebitchy accountable for publishing them again. Harry and Megan 100% wouldn’t want these out there

  2. Wow!! Did they say things like this when Meg was in Britain with Harry doing things for the crown. Was she giving the finger to America by doing those duties? Harry lives in America now and is doing things we do here with his children who are American too.

    • Chloe says:

      Did anyone in the uk even care about that scottish coronation?

      • Mary Pester says:

        @chloe, this Brit couldn’t give a rats arse about EITHER coronation. But, oh how the mail shoots itself in the foot. Yes, Harry looked happy and healthy as did the really cute lilibet, there were crowds cheering and flags waving, and in Scotland there were crowds CHANTING “NOT MY KING AND FK THE MONARCHY”, guess it proves Harry and Megan made the right choice lol. Another point “Harry’s own brother”! Shouldn’t the mail have said “the kings other son? But no, it’s all about harry again, just as it was on the first coronation, poor little sausage fingers and his surrogate mum can’t get a beak 😂😂

      • BothSidesNow says:

        Well, they did when it came to the protesters drowning out the bagpipes and every other performative support.

        The BritishidMedia will continue to perpetuate hateful, divisive and angry attacks at H&M’s children when it’s clear it’s Charles who has consistently made NO efforts and has constantly claimed to be “too busy” to see either of them. Why are the deranged excluding THESE facts instead of the endless blame onto these 2 small children? It’s outright cruel and unequivocally abhorrent.

    • Cara says:

      I worry about a people that think some old man’s SECOND coronation (this year at least) is more important than a little girl spending July 4th with her daddy. Charles receives enough attention. Perhaps, if he had received more time and hands on attention from his mother and father as a child he wouldn’t be such a shameful man-baby today.

  3. Greeneyedgirl says:

    The Spencer genes are very strong in Lili. Adorable little tot just like her brother. Hope they all had fun at the parade!

    • Chloe says:

      She’s adorable and from the side profile she looks just like archie!

      • Kittenmom says:

        Yes, I predict another red-headed Meghan clone 🥰

      • BothSidesNow says:

        @ Chloe, I see Meghan in precious Lili’s profile!! She has her mothers beautiful profile combined with her father’s magnificent hair! I am not certain of the rest of her facial features but I am positively certain that she, and Archie, feel loved and cherished everyday!! Meghan and Harry have created a beautiful, loving, supportive and perfect family for themselves, richly deserved and protect!

      • TeamMeg says:

        The first time I saw them together, when Meghan and Harry announced their engagement, I was struck by the similarity in their noses. So of course the kids will have that nose and profile. It’s the same on both parents!

      • Christine says:

        Same, TeamMeg. Meghan and Harry have very specific, identical noses. It totally cracks me up.

  4. Amy Bee says:

    This is so funny. The DM is hurting. And yes, I think Backgrid or DM are sitting on those pictures of Meghan and Archie. William and Kate are supposed to have a polo match today maybe they will be released later today.

    • Libra says:

      You are correct; the pics of Meghan and Archie will surface when the price is right. It’s all about making money off the Sussex family. As long as there are people willing to pay big money about anything Sussex the lies and smearing will never end.

      • BothSidesNow says:

        Such vile and disrespectful behaviour from a group whose entire existence is purely based on inflicting the most harm and pain. All onto a family that had left that bitter island of jealous and back-stabbing bitches, freeing themselves in their minds and life as they thrive in beautiful Montecito!!

    • Lizzie says:

      I saw a pics of the whole family on twitter last night. Those were from a distance, maybe from a phone.

    • Is That So? says:

      In a couple of picture of Harry and Lilibet that I saw, there was someone in a white(pale) patterned shirt with a hand on Lilibet shoe area, and another of that same shirt close but almost entirely hidden by Prince Harry. That person was too close not to be family. I thought it was Meghan. I was surprised they didn’t show her.

      Edit: Actually, in the first unblurred picture you can see Meghan right beside, and a little behind Harry in that pale patterned shirt. That’s her hair.

    • BeanieBean says:

      Isn’t that Meghan right behind Harry? You can kind of see her hair & the blouse she’s wearing. Height wise, that looks about right. It would be really really weird for just Harry & Lili to go to the parade without Meghan & Archie. Who does that?? Unless Archie’s not feeling well for some reason, everybody goes to the parade on the 4th! Parades & picnics, the Fail left that part out. They really have no clue about the US, do they? 😉

      • Bee says:

        All four of them were there. the Fail is pushing a narrative that the Sussexes are leading separate lives… but we all know who that’s really true of.

  5. MrsBanjo says:

    The BM is completely unhinged, good grief.

    Also, as someone who also has dark hair, a ginger husband, and all redheaded kids, the kids wouldn’t be redheads if Meghan didn’t also have the gene. It’s recessive. She’s also why her kids are ginger. Can’t tell you the amount of times people said I’ve just basically incubated his clones despite the fact that they also have my facial features – all because they’re redheaded and pale like him.

    • Brassy Rebel says:

      I think Meghan’s dogsh*t dad was a redhead when younger. It has to come from both parents.

      • Jan says:

        Her toxic brother was a red head also.
        Both parent have to carry the gene.

      • aftershocks says:

        ^^ Exactly! Meg carries one brown hair gene from the Ragland side, and one red hair gene from the Markle side. Harry carries two red hair genes. Red hair is made up of the pigment, pheomelanin; black hair and brown hair are made up of the pigment, eumelanin. The red hair gene is recessive, so both parents must carry it in order to have red-haired children. Maybe it helps too that Meg is distantly related to the red-haired Spencers through her paternal grandmother’s ancestry.

        As far as “Harry’s genes bodying the Ragland-Markle genes,” uh nope. 😉 That’s not really how biology works, tho’ a lot of people enjoy viewing it that way. LOL!

    • Shawna says:

      That sounds infuriating! One of the times I’ve been most pissed off is hearing people say the clone thing two days after giving birth, still barely hanging on and visibly suffering with all the post-partum stuff. It’s really insulting.

      • Brenda says:

        My theory on those kinds of statements is that people are really telling you which parent they feel like sucking up more to. It’s actually kind of overt and in your face. You could just as easily say oh he looks like both of you, or oh how cute etc.
        The last time I heard that the kid looks like the other, as though I was the incubator for the child who was 100% the other’s genes, I said, yeah, ok. But he opens his mouth and I step out.
        The look on her face was funny.

      • Cee says:

        LOL! Newborns change a lot, especially 2 days after their birth.

    • HufflepuffLizLemon says:

      I’m dark haired with freckles and green eyes and my husband is blonde (was blonde, silver fox now :D) and olive skinned, but our son has rich, copper hair with freckles and green eyes. The number of people who don’t know how basic recessive genes work is a little shocking since I know we were taught Punnett Squares in biology. I get asked which one of us the red hair comes from at least once a month.

      • Cee says:

        Just like blue eyes, both need to have the gene somewhere.

      • aftershocks says:

        @Cee, anyone with light-colored eyes gets the appearance of color from the way light reflects upon their retina. That’s why the blue or light green eye color dulls and changes under indoor low-light conditions. Also, eye color is polygenic, which means other genes aside from the genes for eye color, exert an influence. It’s rare, but there are dark-skinned people with bright blue eyes. It’s usually caused by a genetic condition named Waardenburg syndrome, which can include a degree of congenital hearing loss, and/ or slight pigmentation deficiencies in hair or skin — also sometimes one blue eye and one brown eye. In Meg’s case, yes! There’s likely genes for blue eyes on the Markle side, just like the gene for red hair.

      • Lily says:

        This is incredibly rare and it was in the days before colored contact but I knew a woman with violet eyes once.

    • BothSidesNow says:

      @ MrsBanjo, I am utterly disgusted and heartbroken that you have been attacked whilst being eliminated as their mother who has given birth to your children. Your children are part of both of you and you should never be denied at all! Sending you virtual hugs and excellent juju!! 🤗

  6. girl_ninja says:

    I saw disgusting twitter comments about how she isn’t a real child and now at least they’re showing her legs. There are a LOT of horrible people who will say anything about H&M and their babies. And the British press just gin up their disgusting behavior and chatter. I hope and pray for safety for Harry, Meg and their babies.

    • Amy Bee says:

      These same people get angry when Harry and Meghan don’t pictures of their children for their birthdays or Christmas. They’re just unhinged.

      • BothSidesNow says:

        Yup @ Amy Bee!! They want everything on their terms no matter the pain, simply selling “hatred” with disgusting, unhinged behaviour.

    • Ginger says:

      Those sad little derangers make multiple accounts to make it seem like a lot of people think this way. They are horrible and very pathetic. They are in desperate need of attention since they get none in their real life.

      Anyway, I’m glad they enjoyed the parade. Lilli is adorable.

    • WHAT says:

      Commenting how she’s dressing like Charlotte to whys she’s dressing royal period cause of the socks and 🥰 cute shoes. The comparison has already started unhinged and disgusting

      • Haylie says:

        Derangers are stupid. Little girls have been wearing dresses, knee socks and Mary janes without being royal for a very long time. It’s was pretty much my school picture day uniform.

        Who wants to break it to them Lilibet Diana is a royal, with a princess title, and a deadbeat grandfather who happens to be a king?

      • BeanieBean says:

        Good gad! That’s a standard little girl outfit, cotton dress, white knee socks, Mary Janes, hair in pigtails. Blue dress, white socks, red shoes for the 4th. So many people have seriously lost the plot. And the Fail going on about how she hasn’t seen her grandfather in over a year. WTAF??? She’s a child! It’s not on her to see her grandfather!!

  7. Brassy Rebel says:

    She hasn’t seen her grandfather in a year because her grandfather refuses to visit her and has failed to invite her to see him. Not to mention the eviction from the only secure home she would have if her parents brought her to GB. Ffs.

    • ShazBot says:

      We don’t even know if she’s ever actually seen her grandfather? Didn’t they all make a big deal last year about being “too busy”?

      • Ginger says:

        Charles’s people leaked that he met the kids before the Jubilee church service and how “emotional” it was for him. I actually doubt it happened. If he was so desperate to see his grandkids he can get on flight and go to California, he loves to fly.

      • Jais says:

        Yep @ginger is right. Charles leaked that he met them during the Jubbly but the Sussexes never confirmed this. I could believe he’s literally never met her.

      • Nerd says:

        Like Ginger and Jais both said, I don’t believe that he ever met her and his staff leaked a lie. The timing they gave for the meeting was an odd and questionable time. For them to meet him just prior to the church service at his home where they all supposedly drove from to go directly to the church it would mean that they would have left their children either there at Charles home or some place nearby where it would be likely leaked to the press. I can’t imagine that Harry and Meghan would feel comfortable having their children anywhere near where Charles and Camilla’s team would know and be able to leak to paparazzi or the BM. I think that they attempted to introduce him to Archie again and Lili for the first time at Lili’s 1st birthday party that he refused to attend, just as he refused her Christening. These are the most narcissistic and self righteous people I have ever heard of. Everything is about what everyone should do or feel for them and never about being basic compassionate people who value all people, especially their own family.

      • Renae says:

        Perhaps Chuck considers being *in the same room* with the munchkin is “meeting” her.
        He didn’t seem to bother ‘visiting’ Archie when he was born and living at Frogmore.

    • Princessk says:

      Charles has met Archie and Lili during the Jubilee.
      The truth is that Charles hardly sees his other grandchildren.

      • Jennifer says:

        I don’t know if I believe this actually happened or not. (I want pics….of course these days they can probably AI that.)

      • Saucy&Sassy says:

        Princessk, in Spare, Harry only talked about his grandmother seeing the two kids at the Jubilee. He never mentioned his father seeing them. That doesn’t sound like KFC saw the kids during the Jubilee. I think it was a PR move for CH to come out with stating he did see them, because there was talk about the fact that none of them were at her birthday party and snubbed a one year old. I don’t think KFC was ever in the same room with her or Archie.

    • Mary Pester says:

      @brassyrebel, exactly

  8. TheOriginalMia says:

    From what can be seen of her, Lili is a Spencer through and through. She & Archie are cuties.

  9. Seraphina says:

    Let freedom ring! In more ways than one!

  10. Laura D says:

    All I could think of when I saw the pictures were headlining the Daily Fail site was: “That’s payback for holding the conanation on Archie’s birthday.” The “fab four” were reduced to a mid page position when pictures of the little girl appeared with her daddy.

    I love how the Fail are desperate to make Charles look the poor ignored grandfather when the whole world knows that he agreed with TOB not to allow Lili to be christened at Windsor and then declined an invite to her christening in “overseas.”

    #Payback’sabiatch! 😉

  11. Maxine Branch says:

    As we all recognize by now, Harry and Meghan rule the British royals, because without Sussex news who really cares what the other folks there are doing? Happy to see Harry, Meghan and their kids participating in a U.S. tradition. Saw many folks squabbling about the photos but this is the Sussexes reality and for me as long as full frontal photos of the kids faces are not shown illegally, I am fine with viewing the photos. The royalist are mighty angry and hungry over a family they supposedly do not want as part of that family. Happy the Sussexes are thriving while integrating within their community.

    • mel says:

      I won’t view the photos because they took and printed pictures of their children without their permission. Kids should be off limits.

      • PJ says:

        Didn’t California pass an anti-pap law specifically related to the children of stars and famous people led by Halle Berry and Jennifer Garner? If it hasn’t been rescinded, then maybe Backgrid or whomever took these photos might be in trouble. It’s crazy that they would risk HRH, the Duke’s ire by snapping pics of his kids when he might have clear cut legal precedent on his side. So Stupid. Leave them alone so they can watch the parade in peace.

  12. Snuffles says:

    I’m just loving that Harry is celebrating America’s independence from
    His ancestors while his father is getting crowned amid a sea of protests.

    • sunny says:

      This is the take! I hope they had a fab holiday.

    • Birdie says:

      I love that he’s celebrating America’s independence while his father has a silly coronation in a country England overthrew years ago. British monorchs don’t even have the same power anymore – he’s really just a symbol.

  13. Jais says:

    There’s a wider and blurry shot of all 4 of them that was on Twitter so yes Meghan was there. A few accounts were posting but most were not. I really hate the stalking and pictures being taken while
    Meghan and Harry and their kids are trying to enjoy the holiday in their community. And the very Idea of Charles not having seen Lilibet when he’s the one that evicted her family. No shame. Charles is an absolute shit grandfather. Scotland came for him though.

    • kelleybelle says:

      Charles is a shit person all around!

    • anotherlily says:

      I’ve seen the photo of all 4 Sussexes. New York Times has published it and some other sites. It’s a long shot from across the road with Meghan crouched near the ground holding Lili and Harry standing with Archie in front of him. They are with another group, the heavy-set man in a light blue top who can be seen in the Mail photo plus a woman in a long dark blue top and two little girls.

      The Mail’s story is unhinged. They are implying that Meghan and Archie are missing. There is also the completely untrue claim that all the senior royals were in St Giles’ Cathedral supporting the King. In reality it was only William and Kate with Charles and Camilla.

      • Haylie says:

        I’m having a hard time believing the New York Times would post a grainy Backgrid stalker photo of the Sussexes. Do you mean the New York Post, a sleazy Murdoch owned tabloid?

  14. HamsterJam says:

    I LOVE the heathery blues she is wearing those hues look so sweet with her hair color.

    Thank god she is not being dressed in red. Red hair and red are not the same thing lol. That said the red shoes are adorable and a cute accent to the muted blues.

    • Christine says:

      I agree, it’s an adorable outfit for toddler Lili. The shoes are giving me “there’s no place like home” vibes.

  15. B says:

    Lily was born in the USA. Her UK grandfather and uncle make no effort to see her and her parents have made it clear she will not be a working royal. Why are the tabloids covering her? More importantly why are they trying to link her to a royal event in the UK and using it to justify covering her? I’ve seen the blurry pics on twitter. Harry is holding Lily, Meghan is sitting right next to him and Archie is standing in between. The whole family is there yet they single out Lily both in the picture and in the story.

    The UK press is sick and clearly have bot farms and endless trolls at their disposal. I can’t help but think they are singling out Lily is because their MO is abusing royal women. They want to start early and condition people to be negative and nasty about Lily just like they’ve conditioned people to be negative about her mother. Since these pics have been released I’ve already seen some ugly comments by bots. Multiple messages with the same typos and content being tweeted over and over about Lily and Meghan.

    These people are awful.

  16. HennyO says:

    The whole Sussex family was at the parade. Look at the fiest pic, you can see Meghan’s dark hair, as she is standing right behind Harry (in a white shirt with small prints).
    In the TMZ story they mentioned that all for were pictured together, with a distant pic of them. And there were more pics of the faily online.

    But of course, salty Daily fail is gonna paint a picture of Harry a separate lonely dad.

    • HennyO says:

      Corrections in my post up here ( pressed send before reviewing – my bad):
      ‘All four of them were at the parade. Meghan stands behind Harry in the first pic, you can see her dark hair. Other pics and vids online show the for of them watching the parade.’

    • Fifee says:

      If you look at Page Six the photo is expanded in the video at the top of the page and its an Asian woman standing behind him. I thought it was Meghan at first also but nope!

      • anotherlily says:

        Meghan is wearing light blue jeans and a white top. She can be partly seen in the Fail pic along with a furled flag which Archie has in his hand.

      • Fifee says:

        @anotherlily I havent looked at the fail photos, I hate that tory rag with a passion! So many damn adverts too, another reason not to look at it hah!

    • aftershocks says:

      If you examine several of those pictures of Harry holding Lili, you will notice that the identity of the dark-haired woman behind him is revealed in some shots. The woman is not Meghan, tho’ it appears to be before you see her in full. In the revealing shot, the woman is clearly Asian. She’s wearing a light print top and a brown skirt or shorts. In the blurry, distant shots of the whole Sussex family and friends, Meghan is wearing a light print top with matching wide-leg pants, or else, it could be an all-in-one jumpsuit. Plus, Meghan’s hair appears to be tied back in a bun or ponytail.

  17. Miranda says:

    Maybe it’s because I come from a family of refugees myself, but it always makes me so happy to see new Americans celebrating our holidays. Whether it’s people who escaped from fascism or Stalinism with little more than the clothes on their backs, like my grandparents, or a prince who finally found peace after a lifetime of being bullied by his family and the media. And Harry gets bonus points for irony.

  18. Eurydice says:

    Omg, I joked yesterday that next there’d be pearl-clutching articles about Harry celebrating the 4th.

  19. Harper says:

    So Harry attending a fourth of July parade is the official split from his UK roots? As if he was okay living here for the past three years, but he was holding off on celebrating the fourth–that was a line he would not cross, despite being pictured in Colorado celebrating the fourth a year or two ago. But now, Harry’s officially split from the UK and he did it by …. watching a parade in Montecito? Make it make sense, please.

    Lili is a cutie-pie.

    • MsIam says:

      So I guess Harry was supposed to miss this time with his kids and wife and fly to Scotland to see Charles get another shiny hat? Even though Charles has been a miserable sh*t to him and his family? Is anyone in the UK really buying what they are selling!

    • Saucy&Sassy says:

      Harper, wasn’t it last a couple of years ago when there was a picture of H&M and Archie at a July 4th parade in Montana or Wyoming (I can’t remember which)? Go back and look–you’ll find the pictures.

      • Christine says:

        Yup. The British media is absurd. By all means, keep pointing out every time Harry is an American. You bullied him and Meghan out of your country, leave them alone.

      • Agreatreckoning says:

        It was last year the Sussexes attended the Jackson Hole, WY 4th of July parade. According to my family members that live there, it’s a good time. All sorts of fun events and plenty of famous people attend. It’s low key for all to enjoy.

        No Crooked Crownings. LOL @ this second conanation. It was so big and important that nary a mention of the BRF’s new secret weapon of Thomas Parker-Bowles came up.lolz Or bellend Mike Tindall? Where was he?

  20. Ace says:

    Those Fail headlines never stop being amusing. Not only because it’s obvious how bitter and angry they are, but because they look like shit. The kind of crap somebody who has never seen an actual headline would write.

    Cute kid, wish they hadn’t been papped.

  21. Caribbean says:

    I don’t think it’s about being anything other than being an assignment to report on the Sussexes in as negative a light as possible and earn money off of them.

    So if there is nothing to see they make up something because they must carry out their assignment.

  22. Rapunzel says:

    OMG!! Man married to US Citizen, with two US citizen children, living in a US state, attends a US 4th of July parade with his US citizen wife and kids on the US 4th of July in the US. Call the cops!

  23. The Old Chick says:

    They are a beautiful family (I saw all 4 of them) and Lili’s outfit is red /white /blue. So cute.

  24. sevenblue says:

    Also, I need to say, I love the header picture of Harry and Meghan. They are both naturally such beautiful people.

  25. mel says:

    Serious deflection here as Charles was met with boos and chants of “Not my King”.

  26. Julianna says:

    While I hate the fact Harry & Mehgan were being stalked.. Im happy to see them out and about as a family. And even MORE happy it was on the 4th during the Scottish coronation 😆. Lily is so cute and I bet she has Harry wrapped around her little finger.

    American born child wears red, white and blue to an Independence Day parade. How very shocking.

    I swear, British trolls and bots aren’t the swiftest people. Thinking the UK owns calico dresses for little girls is a stretch.

    • Christine says:

      Especially considering the fact the Union Jack is…red, white, and blue. JFC, the morons are relentless.

    • tamsin says:

      How serendipitous that red white and blue are the colours of both the UK and the US. Those kids can never set a foot wrong wearing those three colours together. In any of the rare pictures of Archie, he was never dressed like a little English aristocrat. Little American girls wear dresses, but Lili here is also dressed like a little English princess which she is. Sure she is the apple of her daddy’s eye.

    Charles has all the resources in the world to visit his American grandchildren. He might enjoy visiting California — people actually turn up to festive public celebrations there (unlike his struggle coronation in Scotland).

    There were pictures of H&M and Archie at a previous July 4th parade in Montana or Wyoming a couple of years ago, so I don’t know why they are getting excited about this.

    I find it more than a coincidence that KFC Scottish hat party fell on the same day that the the US celebrates it’s independence from the British Monarchy. Just like Archie’s birthday was used for his big hat party. Now, why is KFC doing this? Is so that KFC get mentioned when they talk about the kids? Just wondering.

    • BeenyS says:

      No coincidence at all, sorry but the Brits don’t take US Independence day into account when planning matters any more than they take into account Bastille Day in France. They are both irrelevant in the UK. Just as trooping to colour and coronation day is irrelevant in the US.

    • SARAH H says:

      @SAUCY&SASSY These pictures of Harry, Meghan and Archie in Wyoming were last July. Two years ago, in July 4th, Meghan was a month postpartum, and Harry had just returned from the UK after unveiling the statue of Diana.

    • tamsin says:

      I think first week of July is usually Holyrood week in the UK. Countries all have their own traditions, so every day some country is celebrating something and gee, sometimes several countries have important celebrations the same week!!

    Well just proves that the Sussexes living in California are far more interesting than their own BRF living in their own backyard. 🙄 too bad the BRF with their collaboration with the BM are too stupid to realize that HM are their best assets.

  32. Over it says:

    I suggest the next time Harry needs to go to the uk or send anyone in that bold related blood clan that he unfortunately is related to a gift, He buys a bunch of American flags and a how to make hotdogs and hamburgers for your Fourth of July celebration. These people are not alright.

  33. JudyB says:

    I was really confused when they called the parade a “motorcade.” A motorcade is a series of black cars preceded and followed by a police escort that politicians and maybe royalty use to get from one place to another.

    Don’t the British have local parades made up of floats created by local groups and walkers dressed up in costumes to celebrate events?? American parades are typically home-made things with local groups creating floats and people dressed up throwing candy to the people lining the streets, which is what this 4th of July event certainly was. There might have even been a high school band or a community band group. (No miles of military marching groups or military bands.)

    No way was this event a “motorcade.”

    Ok this family is just adorable but don’t you guys know the onus is on a toddler to get her behind on a plane to go see her grandfather! Worried about her going through security? They have TSA precheck for that! She wouldn’t even have to take those shoes off and could breeze on through.

    She clearly doesn’t care about her grandpa, the butt tapper and her egg, or Jeremy’s girl cause if she did she’d have checked Expedia and seen, there were numerous sales going on traveling to Scotland and gone there uninvited on the 4th and she’d have skipped that AMERICAN parade and been a better granddaughter! She has how many bathrooms and access to credit cards so yeah she could have done it. Poor Charles! 🙄

  35. Beverley says:

    I hope Princess Lili had a wonderful time! I hope she enjoyed the parade, the hot dogs, and the fireworks.

  36. blunt talker says:

    The fourth of July is an American holiday-Lilibet and Archie are part American-the Sussex family lives in the USA-they will partake someday in some British traditions and see the sights of the UK-but they are living here now-Harry is not upset that his children see and participate in the American traditions because they live here.-Sometimes being an ally to the Uk is such a shitstain of an experience-the ignorance of the tabloid reading culture in the UK have the IQ of 1 for understanding.One thing they better unpack in their minds-Harry and Meghan will go to hell and back before they allow anybody or anything to abuse their children-God don’t like ugly-to talk ugly about innocent children is evil in God’s eye and world-I pray God protect and keep the entire Sussex family safe.

    i think that if Harry was uncomfortable with Lilys face being in photos, then he wouldnt have brought her out in public like that. because regardless of state laws, he no doubt knew someone, at some point would recognize him, and pics would get taken. also, they released a full face full of Lily on her birthday last year, so its not like we dont know what she looks like.
    and omg, those Spencer genes are bionic, arent they? anyone who has children with a member of the spencer family, can assume at least one will have red hair! which i love, because red hair is becoming increasingly rare. i myself am a brunette.

  38. jferber says:

    She is so tiny and darling. Not trying to minimize, but it is a side view of her face. Even that should not have been printed, of course.

    I love that their kids look like normal kids and not like mini adults.
