Royal Titles for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Children: What You Need to Know

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's two children, three-year-old Archie and one-year-old Lilibet, will not be receiving full royal titles, as reported by The Sun.

Although they will not have the his or her Royal Highness status, they will still hold the titles of Prince and Princess.

This change in titles comes as a result of the shift in the line of succession following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.

With William now as the heir to the throne, he has assumed the title of Prince of Wales, while Kate Middleton is now known as the Princess of Wales.

The couple's oldest son, George, is second in line to the throne, followed by Charlotte and Louis.

Prince Harry, being fifth in line, sees his two children, Archie and Lilibet, as the sixth and seventh in line to the throne.

Despite these changes, Harry and Meghan's titles remain unchanged as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Prior to the Queen's demise, speculations were rife that King Charles III intended to streamline the monarchy to just seven senior royal members.

It was anticipated that Archie would become His Royal Highness Prince Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, with his sister being Her Royal Highness Princess Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.

However, it seems that King Charles III plans to issue letters patent to grant Archie and Lily the Prince and Princess titles, omitting the his and Her Royal Highness statuses.

The decision not to bestow the HRH titles on Archie and Lilibet aligns with their parents' previous agreement to forego using such titles when they stepped back from their royal duties two and a half years ago.

According to a source cited by The Sun, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are displeased with this arrangement, feeling that their children should be entitled to the HRH status given their royal lineage.

King Charles III has yet to address this matter publicly, as he has been preoccupied with the 10-day mourning period following his mother's passing.

Amidst the mourning, the public witnessed an emotional procession in London streets, where King Charles and his family marched behind the Queen's coffin, marking the final journey of the longest-serving monarch.

Amidst these developments, much attention has been drawn to the public reunion of Prince William and Prince Harry, who have had a strained relationship in recent years.

The brothers walked side by side during the procession, reminiscent of the scenes from their mother Princess Diana's funeral over two decades ago.

Prince William wore military attire, while Prince Harry, no longer a working royal, donned a mourning suit adorned with medals.

As the royal family navigates through these changes and public displays of unity, the future roles and titles of Archie and Lilibet remain a topic of interest and speculation among royal watchers and the general public.
