Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s children, Archie and Lilipet, are now entitled to inherit royal titles After the death of Queen Elizabeth II Unless the new King Charles III decides otherwise.
The Sussex’s son, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, 3, and his 15-month-old sister, Lilibit Mountbatten-Windsor, can now be referred to as a prince and princess.
Under the order of succession modified after the death of the king and the ascension of King Charles III, the young royals, who live with their parents in California, are now sixth and seventh in line to the British throne.
They were preceded by their three cousins Prince William, George, Charlotte and Louis.
Siblings are entitled to royal titles under rules laid down by King George V, Queen Elizabeth II’s grandfather, in 1917.
The decree states that all descendants of the King are able to classify themselves as “His Royal Highness” or “Her Royal Highness” and be referred to as Prince or Princess, if they so choose.
However, Markle claimed during her Infamous Bomb Interview with Oprah Winfrey In March 2021, her son was deprived of the title of prince, before she and Harry decided to step down from their roles as senior members of the royal family.
When asked if the title was important to her, the former “Suits” star said she doesn’t care much about the “greatness” of the royal label, and that “Mom” was her most important title.
Markle and Prince Harry have stopped using their Royal Highness methods after separating from the royal family and moving to the United States.
Meanwhile, Markle said, “The idea of not naming the first colorist in this family the same way as the other grandchildren” — and denying them the security that came with it — was a concern to her.
Earlier this year, it was reported that then-Prince Charles – now King Charles III – told Harry he wanted to change what are known as patents, preventing his grandchildren from inheriting the titles of Prince and Princess as part of a plan to downsize the monarchy. DailyMail.com reported.
