Even before the publication of Prince Harry's controversial memoir, Spare, King Charles III agreed that Harry and Meghan Markle's children, Archie and Lilibet, could use the title of prince and princess, The Mirror reported on March 10.
It is believed that the issue of the titles of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet was "resolved" by the royal father and son as early as the end of 2022, that is, a month before the publication of "Spare Tires".
However, it was only yesterday that the matter came to light after a statement confirming the baptism of Harry and Meghan's daughter. The Harry couple announced through a spokesperson that 21-month-old "Princess Lilibet Diana" was baptized in California last week.
While everyone thought that this was just Harry and Meghan making love for themselves, Page Six reported that King Charles had agreed to Archie and Lilibet using the title of prince and princess long before Christmas last year, but Buckingham Palace had not announced it.
Before the release of The Spare Wheel, Charles and Harry discussed and agreed on the titles of the children – the details of which also surfaced.
Archie and Lilibet automatically became princes and princesses when their grandfather ascended the throne. This is because in 1917, King George V of England instituted the rule that children of sons of monarchs automatically become princes and princesses.
However, it is understood that Lily's princess title and Archie's princely title will be used on formal occasions, and the couple will not use it in everyday conversations.
A spokesman for the couple said: "The children's title has been innate since their grandfather became monarch. This matter has been confirmed with Buckingham Palace for some time. ”
Today, the official website of the British royal family has also been updated with these new titles. Archie and Lilibet are now on the royal list and have their own succession page as Prince Archie of Sussex and Princess of Sussex.
However, sources say Harry and Meghan were "frustrated" by Buckingham Palace's failure to immediately recognise that their children were princes and princesses.
The source said: "Harry and Meghan's friends are both aware that Buckingham Palace did not immediately acknowledge on the website that Archie and Lilibet rose in status and they were frustrated."
"Especially after the death of the Queen in September this year, the titles of Prince William and Princess and their children changed rapidly, which made Harry and his wife very uncomfortable."
However, just hours after Lilibet's princess title was confirmed, Meghan appeared in the media. Although the color is low-key, it still can't resist Meghan's expensive body. Not to mention the jewelry she wore and the Chanel handbag, the Maxmara cashmere coat alone was worth 42,000 yuan.
Unlike the usual impatience and secretiveness, now facing the camera, Meghan is smiling like a spring breeze, joyful, and even greeting reporters. It seems that Meghan is still very concerned about the titles of her children when she leaves the British royal family with her husband.
