The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Family, News and Events 10: August 2024 -


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
The stories from the BBC and the Sun don't entirely make sense to me, since the judge issued a sealed ruling and terminated the case two weeks ago. I can't tell from reading these more recent stories whether they are rehashing the order from two weeks ago or reporting on a new development.

Here's Newsweek's report from two weeks ago: Prince Harry visa drugs case closed after secret ruling
The media is still talking about the same case because Judge Nichols sealed his orders and closed the case. So...we know nothing about the determination of the case is how I interprete it.

"It is possible the orders may be at some stage be unsealed at which point it will become clearer what brought about the end of the lawsuit."
 
The judge in Harry’s visa case has ruled in his favour. The case brought by the conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation against the Dept of Homeland Security to try and open Harry’s application etc to the scrutiny of them and the public has been dismissed. Of course the British tabloids are not happy with this decision.



No surprise there, but I think this was reported a couple of weeks ago? (as mentioned previously)

Of course, the British tabloids are the good guys when they publish a positive story about PH ;)

No doubt tabloids in other countries have reported this too.
 
The British tabloids never publish a positive story about Prince Harry if the editors can possibly help it! And they are never ‘good guys’ in a million years!


Harry took over The (anti-landmine) Halo Trust after his mother’s death. He spoke at the event in aid of the charity in New York to a packed room.
 
He is indeed not selfstyling, he simply is HRH the Duke of Sussex. However, he could have chosen NOT to use his title for business endeavours. Princess Mabel is simply ‘Mabel van Oranje’ for work, as are many other members of the Dutch RF. He made a different calculation, but it is obvious that monitizing the title is considered problematic and would be problematic in most other European monarchies too. Though at this particular event and for charities os is simply practical and gives the cause perhaps more attention than it would otherwise have had, which is good.

There is one minor difference here. Harry was born as prince Harry. Mabel was born as Mabel. She was married to a prince who has died 11 years ago. She hasn't been an active member of DRF for years. Comparing them is like comparing apples and aubergines. They're both edible, but they're not fruit.
Also, I'm quite certain if William died Catherine would still call herself the Duchess of Cambridge in these type of events. Simply because it attracts attention to the cause.

Mabel has devoted years to various very important issues. What name she goes by is insignificant as her hard work speaks for itself.

Catherine would be called The Princess of Wales in such tragic circumstances. If Charles was still King at the time of a tragedy, because if it happened after William becomes King she would become Queen Catherine.
 
IMO people are just so used to him being referred to as Prince Harry that whatever happens going forward people will think of him in that way name wise. I think his dedication and passion for these causes also speak for themselves title or no title.
