Royal Drama Unfolds: Meghan and Harry’s Children Denied Prince and Princess Titles

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's children may not inherit the titles of Prince and Princess, according to recent reports.

It has been revealed that when Prince Charles ascends to the throne as King Charles III, he will not grant HRH status to Harry and Meghan's offspring.

Archie, aged 3, and Lilibet, just 1 year old, are anticipated to be formally anointed as Prince and Princess in the near future, as Charles is purportedly prepared to issue a letters patent bestowing these titles upon them.

However, following intense discussions with the new king in recent days, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are reportedly incensed that their children will not also receive HRH titles.

A source close to the couple disclosed that Harry and Meghan raised concerns about security implications, emphasizing that being Prince and Princess entitles them to certain levels of royal protection.

The couple has been relentless in their pursuit of ensuring that Archie and Lilibet are recognized as Prince and Princess, particularly since the passing of the Queen.

Despite efforts to secure these titles, it has been stipulated that while Archie and Lilibet can be Prince and Princess, they will not carry the HRH designation due to their non-working royal status.

The entitlement to these titles stems from rules established by King George V in 1917, which restricted the number of royals permitted to use the HRH prefix.

Meghan previously asserted that Archie was denied the HRH title due to his heritage, insinuating racial bias in the decision-making process.

When questioned about the significance of Archie being styled as a Prince, Meghan expressed indifference towards the grandeur associated with official titles.

In a significant move, the Sussexes relinquished their HRH styles upon stepping back from their roles as senior working royals to pursue a life in Los Angeles.

Subsequently, there were calls for their Duke and Duchess titles to be revoked.

The regulations set forth by King George V in 1917 delineated the criteria for bestowing the HRH title upon members of the royal family.

Notably, individuals in direct line to the throne or offspring of future monarchs were traditionally granted this distinction.

At the time of Archie's birth in May 2019, he stood seventh in line to the throne, rendering him ineligible for automatic recognition as a Prince.

Despite being a great-grandchild of the monarch, Archie did not meet the criteria as the first-born son of a future king.

In a poignant display of emotion, Prince Harry paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II during her lying-in-state service at Westminster Hall.

Photographs captured a solemn moment as Harry, adorned in ceremonial attire, stood beside the Duchess of Sussex, visibly moved by the somber occasion.

As the royal saga unfolds, the decision regarding Archie and Lilibet's titles remains a focal point of contention.

Should Harry and Meghan opt to designate their children as Prince and Princess, it would mark a departure from Harry's previous reflections on the burdens associated with royal titles.
