Will Prince Harry and Meghans Kids Get Royal Titles? Why Its Uncertain #WorldNEWS
Queen Elizabeth IIs Sept. 8 death altered the line of royal succession, prompting questions about what–if any–titles Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s children, Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1, will receive.
The two children, per a 1917 edict from King George V, are technically now a prince and princess because they are the grandchildren of the current monarch, King Charles III. But their parents stepped down as senior royals in Jan. 2020, leaving questions about whether the children receive the titles—and whether Meghan and Harry will want them to.
As of Sept. 10, their names on the Royal Family website were still listed as Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor and Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor.

Meghan suggested last year in an interview with Oprah Winfrey that the Royal Family had discussed changing the convention for Archie, expressing concern that the first member of color in this family not being titled in the same way that other grandchildren would be. ”

But they could also opt out of having Archie and Lilibet inherit the titles altogether, following the footsteps of Princess Anne, Queen Elizabeth IIs daughter, who declined titling her children in an effort to make their lives easier.
Last year, Meghan spoke candidly about her and her husbands frustration over the lack of police protection that their children received. Extended members of the royal family do not receive funding for security protection, as part of an effort to limit taxpayer spending on royals, and having the title of prince and princess does not necessarily guarantee taxpayer-funded security.
Meghan theorized last year that the decision not to provide Archie with a title after his birth was because of his mixed race. She said that the title discussion began around the time that members of the Royal Family were expressing concern about how dark Archie’s skin might be. (After the interview, Queen Elizabeth II issued a statement that read: The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning.
