Harry and Meghan don't know if children will have 'prince and princess' titles as King Charles yet to decide

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle have been left in the dark about whether their children will have royal titles, with reports that King Charles III has yet to decide. It is understood that the Prince and his father the new King had a "brief discussion” about the children's titles before Harry returned to the USA but nothing has yet been decided.

Harry’s two children Archie and Lilibet are entitled to be named Prince and Princess as grandchildren of the new King. However, no public announcements have yet to be made by the Royal Family, and there are reports that the Duke wants to leave the decision up to the children when they are older.

However, this can only be done if the King decides to give them the titles in the first place - which they can then choose to revoke. The Times Newspaper reported that Harry is understood to have emphasised that the children would only be able to have a choice if they were allowed to retain their titles now.
