Prince Harry and his wife Meghan will be referring to their children as Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, a royal source has confirmed.
The statement came as the couple confirmed their little girl was christened on Friday, as Princess Lilibet Diana.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's spokesman said: “I can confirm that Princess Lilibet Diana was christened on Friday, March 3 by the Archbishop of Los Angeles, the Rev John Taylor.”
The christening took place privately at the Sussexes’ home in California but no other members of the royal family attended the intimate ceremony 'despite being invited'.
A royal source told The Mirror: “As the Duke and Duchess have now confirmed this, the website will now be updated in due course.”
They confirmed the King was notified of Harry and Meghan’s intention to use the titles for their children, adding: “The appropriate conversations have taken place ahead of today’s news (of Lilibet’s christening).”
Lilibet, one, and her older brother Archie, three, weren't given HRH titles at birth due to their position in the line of succession.
Harry and Meghan are understood to be keen to not deny their children, both Lilibet and Archie, their birth-right, but to allow them the chance to decide for themselves when older whether to drop or keep using the titles.
When Archie and Lilibet were born, they were great-grandchildren of the Monarch, which meant they were eligible for HRH titles.
It was the same situation for Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, however the Queen stepped in to change the rules. Prince George needs to be a HRH as he will one day be king.
However as Harry is less senior than his brother, it didn't apply to his children.
When Charles became King in September last year, Archie and Lilibet became the grandchildren of a Monarch which changed the roles.
Buckingham Palace said the royal website “will now be updated in due course” to reflect the titles.
King Charles was reportedly undecided over whether his two youngest grandchildren can use their titles of prince and princess and their HRH stylings.
His Highness reportedly waited until after the release of Prince Harry's autobiography 'Spare' in January before making a decision on his grandchildren's royal titles.
In the 416-page memoir, which Harry reportedly earned $20 million in advance to produce, saw him come under fire for boasting about his war kill tally.
He also discussed losing his virginity, allegedly taking drugs and an alleged physical alteration with his brother Prince William.
Meghan said in the couple’s bombshell interview with talk show legend Oprah Winfrey that Archie was not given the title of prince because of his race.
The boy, born seventh in line to the throne in 2019, was in fact too far down the line of succession.
People magazine claim that there were between 20 and 30 guests at the event.
Those attending including Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland and Lilibet’s godfather Tyler Perry.
