King Charles Weighs Prince Harry’s Children’s Titles Amid Memoir Controversy

In a move that could reshape royal titles, King Charles is reportedly contemplating whether to deny Prince Harry's children, Archie and Lilibet, the titles of prince and princess.

This decision hinges on the fallout from Harry's upcoming memoir and various projects with Meghan Markle, which some insiders fear may stir controversy.

As tensions simmer within the royal family, many are urging Harry to reconsider his multi-million dollar publishing deal to mend fences with his estranged relatives.

Harry's tell-all memoir, set for release in November, is expected to include new chapters reflecting on the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

Her passing on September 8 has altered the royal landscape, granting Harry and Meghan's children the automatic right to royal highness status.

However, the final say rests with the royal family, particularly King Charles, who is now faced with a delicate balancing act regarding family dynamics and public perception.

Interestingly, while Archie and Lilibet are technically entitled to be recognized as HRH, they remain listed on the royal family's official website as Master Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor and Miss Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor.

This discrepancy raises eyebrows and suggests that Charles may be leaning towards a more streamlined monarchy, a vision he has nurtured for years, even before Meghan entered the picture.

Royal correspondent and author of “The New Royals,” Miss Nicol, indicates that Charles intends to keep his plans for his grandchildren under wraps until closer to the memoir's release.

The implications of this decision are profound, especially considering that only a select few great-grandchildren of the late monarch have titles—namely, George, Charlotte, and Louis, who are directly in line for the throne.

With the Queen now at rest alongside Prince Philip, King Charles's proposed reduction of royal titles could further complicate matters for Harry and Meghan.

Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips, along with their children, do not hold titles, nor do the offspring of Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.

The focus is now on whether Archie and Lilibet will follow suit or be given a unique status due to their parentage.

Samantha Maiden, a political editor, recently asserted during an interview that King Charles has already decided against bestowing HRH titles upon Archie and Lilibet.

She noted that while they automatically qualify as grandchildren of the monarch, the king's public references to them as “master” suggest otherwise.

This ongoing situation underscores the rift within the family and the challenges of navigating royal traditions in modern times.

Sources close to the couple reveal that Harry and Meghan are furious over the possibility of their children being denied royal titles.

Since the Queen's death, they have reportedly been adamant that Archie and Lilibet should be recognized as prince and princess.

Their frustration has only intensified with the realization that HRH titles may not be forthcoming.

As for the memoir itself, its publication could mark a pivotal moment for Harry.

Royal author Robert Jobson emphasizes that once the book hits shelves, there may be no turning back.

Harry finds himself in a precarious position, torn between seeking acceptance from his family and maintaining his commitment to his wife.

This struggle is compounded by his lucrative four-book deal with Penguin Random House, which he needs to support his lavish lifestyle in California.

The stakes are undeniably high for Harry as he prepares to share his story with the world.
