Hope the parents take him to Guyana someday to show him the source of their fabulous wealth!    

His Grandmother would take him to Jamaica and teach him to smoke weed, yeh man.

That's funny. Charles & Di vacationed in Bahamas when she was having the first son and she was called Bahama Mama.

Could she not take him there to understand the richness of the culture from which he came and where Rasta and weed is but a minute fraction of the living reality?

Over half a century ago a member of the royal family had to voluntary abdicate because he married an American woman.  Times have changed. 

Everything changed after Charles married the horse. 😀

You guys are terrible!

Diane is in heaven singing our praises. 😀

In 1936, King Edward VIII had to abdicate the throne because he was to marry Wallis Simpson, who was a divorcee and her ex-husbands were still alive.

The specific reason at that time was that the Church of England; of which he was the nominal head; did not allow divorced persons to remarry in the church if the ex-partner(s) are still alive.

The one he used to sneak out of the home; while still married; to be with almost every night.

In fact the fabulous wealth of the British aristocracy came from islands like Barbados, Nevis and especially Jamaica.  It was the sugar industry of the 18th century that financed the UK expansionism of the 19th.  Guyana was part of the 19th century expansion, and a very minor part of it at that.  Try India and their African colonies for source of 19thC British colonial wealth accumulation

prince Harry was allowed to do this because neither he nor any of his offspring will ever be King.  So he was allowed this indulgence.

If Prince William, who is second in line and will be first in line within a few years, pulled that stunt he would have been arrested for treason. Marrying a commoner, a divorcee, an American and a "contaminated" one at that would have been heresy.

I actually agree with you.  

BTW Cribby, 23 and Me indicated that GNI Queen and you might be long lost cousins!

Not shocked but I do understand why she is afraid to disclose our mutual West African connection.  Some of the Indo Nazis are running around threatening "honor killings" of those who defile the ethnic "purity" of Indians.
