Prince Archie Harrison and Princess Lilibet Diana will now be the official names of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's children, as confirmed by the couple themselves.
However, reports suggest that Meghan and Harry are deeply upset over King Charles' decision to prohibit their children from using the HRH titles.
Following their resignation in 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were informed that they would no longer have the privilege of being referred to as His and Her Royal Highnesses.
Royal commentator Neil Sean emphasized that the children, Prince Archie Harrison and Princess Lilibet Diana, will not be allowed to bear the HRH style, despite the couple's declaration of their titles.
While they can still be addressed as Prince and Princess, the exclusion of the HRH title is deemed a significant breach of royal protocol, according to Mr. Sean speaking to Fox News.
Upon notifying the late Queen of their decision to step back from their royal duties, Harry and Meghan were explicitly informed that they would no longer be permitted to utilize the HRH style.
Sources close to the couple revealed that after months of intense discussions with the palace, they are livid that the ban has been extended to their children.
The issue of royal security has been a primary concern for the couple, as being a prince and princess entitles them to certain levels of protection.
Despite asserting that Archie and Lilibet are indeed prince and princess, the couple expressed their outrage over the denial of the HRH title, a designation typically reserved for senior members of the royal family actively engaged in royal duties.
The recent developments have stirred emotions within Harry and Meghan, who believed that their children should rightfully inherit their titles, a sentiment they conveyed in a statement to The Sun.
While Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, cousins of Prince William and Prince Harry, were granted the HRH style since birth, Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips, the children of Princess Anne, were never bestowed with such titles due to their mother's choice to decline the late Queen's offer of titles.
The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Prince Edward and Sophie, also opted against styling their children as HRH to shield them from the pressures of royal life.
In contrast, Harry and Meghan were insistent that Archie and Lilibet should be entitled to their titles by birthright, despite the HRH restriction.
The issue has been resolved in accordance with Buckingham Palace's protocols, with the children officially recognized as Prince and Princess upon King Charles' ascension to the throne.
Nonetheless, their new titles were only recently updated on the Royal Family's website, causing further speculation and scrutiny.
The Legacy of the Duke of Edinburgh and the Tragic Past of the Dukes of Edinburgh
The Duke of Edinburgh title, which Prince Philip bestowed upon his youngest son Prince Edward, has a history shrouded in tragedy.
Prince Edward has assumed the title previously held by his late father, marking him as the new Duke of Edinburgh, as confirmed by Buckingham Palace.
King Charles III honored his younger brother with this title on his 59th birthday, a gesture symbolizing the continuity of the family legacy.
Prince Philip's dedication to the monarchy and his establishment of the Duke of Edinburgh's award solidified his association with the dukedom.
Despite his unwavering support for the Queen and his commitment to royal duties, previous Dukes of Edinburgh endured hardships and misfortunes throughout history.
