Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly incensed that their children will not be granted HRH (His/Her Royal Highness) titles by King Charles, with the couple engaged in what insiders are describing as ‘tense discussions’ with the monarch. However, His Majesty has promised to anoint young Archie and Lilibet as prince and princess in the not-so-distant future, according to exclusive reports from The Sun.
Harry and Meghan’s desire for their offspring to carry these prestigious titles, akin to those of their cousins, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, has been met with mixed opinions within the royal sphere. The couple, no longer possessing the privilege of using HRH titles themselves, argue that this move is essential for their children’s security.
The Sun revealed that King Charles has committed to bestowing the titles of prince and princess upon Archie and Lilibet, ensuring the Sussexes’ progeny receive the full extent of royal recognition. Despite facing criticism for the decision to withhold HRH titles from Harry and Meghan, His Majesty remains resolute in his intentions.
A source close to the matter told The Sun, “Harry and Meghan were worried about the security issue, and being prince and princess brings them the right to have certain levels of royal security.” The couple has been adamant in their desire to ensure their children receive the same level of protection and status that HRH titles can provide.
This surprising development comes amidst ongoing negotiations between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the Royal Family regarding their role within the monarchy. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped back from their roles as senior working members of the Royal Family in 2020 and have since sought to establish a more independent life. The debate over their HRH titles has been a focal point of these discussions.
The case for Archie and Lilibet to receive HRH titles was further fueled by the example of Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, who, although not working royals, enjoy the privileges associated with their HRH status. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have emphasized the importance of consistency within the Royal Family, suggesting that their children should not be excluded from these privileges based on their parents’ decisions.
The Sun’s reports suggest that King Charles’ promise to grant prince and princess titles to Archie and Lilibet aims to balance the interests of the young Sussexes with the tradition and security of the royal institution. While the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have encountered some challenges on their path to a more independent life, it appears that their children’s future as prince and princess is secured within the royal hierarchy. This development is sure to be watched closely by royal enthusiasts and critics alike.
