Prince Harry’s Hostile Decision To Keep Archie’s Godparents Top Secret Rubbed William The Wrong Way

Royal Family news reveals the more the world learns about how Prince Harry has behaved with his family behind closed doors, the shadier, more paranoid, and just plain pigheaded he sounds. And that’s significant because the way he’s conducted himself in public is pretty shameful as well as strange.

Take for instance his bizarre refusal to tell anyone who his son Archie’s godparents are (we assume the actually chosen ones know have been told).

It’s being reported that by the time little Archie came on the scene, Prince William was so sick and tired of Harry and Meghan Markle’s “prima donna” behavior that he put off meeting the new babe for a week.

Why Did William And Kate Wait For Eight Days To Meet Archie?

Don’t feel sad for Archie though, it was a mere matter of hours before he met his great grandparents and grandparents.

Back to the matter of Archie’s godparents, Harry and Meghan once again stubbornly butted heads with his family by snubbing royal protocol. Actually, his insistence on secrecy goes way beyond disregarding royal tradition—how many regular people do you know who have made it their life’s mission to safeguard the identity of their child’s godparents? It’s just odd.

Most mainstream churches and religions, including the Church of England to which the royals belong, have some type of christening process. The process typically involves the choosing of one or more adults who are given the honor of being identified as the child’s extended guardians or godparents. Their role is symbolic and special and in the royal family, these people are known as the child’s sponsors.

Leave it to paranoid Harry to take a celebrated worldwide tradition and turn it into a secret, anonymous cabal. He insisted that the names of Archie’s sponsors be treated as a confidential matter, and not even spoken at the christening.

The palace appealed to his sense of duty, saying that the citizens have the right to know who is giving moral guidance to their possible future king (however unlikely). Still, he wouldn’t budge.

And that’s how it came to be that the palace had to confirm the Sussex Royal statement that the names of godparents would not be revealed.

Have Harry And Meghan Taken Their Sense Of Self Importance To A Ridiculous Extreme?

Harry and Meghan’s frenzied secrecy has raised questions about their sense of paranoia as well as their sense of self-importance.

It has even been said that their insistence on treating the world as full of “vipers” out to get them causes them to act in hostile and ultimately self-destructive ways—just ask Prince William.
