They are currently sixth and seventh in line to the throne behind Prince William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis and Harry.
The children of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor and Lilibet Lily Mountbatten-Windsor, are eligible for royal titles after the death of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain and the subsequent accession to the throne by King Charles III (Prince Charles) . Now they can be called Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, according to Page Six.
However, this will only be possible if the royal family follows tradition. Specifically, the rules set by King George V in 1917 stated that the children and grandchildren of a monarch, in this case, Charles III, could claim titles.
As you know, the parents of the little ones, for their part, stopped using the titles of His Royal Highness and Her Royal Highness in January 2020 when they relinquished their senior royal duties. In February of the following year, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex officially announced their departure.
Meanwhile, we noticed that 41-year-old Meghan Markle, in a controversial interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021, said that Archie did not become a prince due to a change in protocol, saying that he was treated differently from his cousins.
“While I was pregnant, they said they wanted to change the convention for Archie,” Prince Harry’s wife said at the time.
In addition, earlier this year there were reports that Prince Charles, who has often spoken of cutting back on the monarchy, told 37-year-old Harry that Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1, are not will be given titles.
We remind you, the 96-year-old Elizabeth II died on September 8 after lunch surrounded by family at the Scottish castle of Balmoral. His son, Prince Charles, will rule the United Kingdom. He took the name Charles III. After the death of the monarch, strange phenomena were noticed in the sky over Britain.
