With the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s children should become Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet — unless the newly acceded King Charles III opts to break with tradition and ditch the royal titles.
The change in title typically occurs when a new monarch takes the throne, and the kids move from being great-grandchildren of the ruler to grandchildren. And while the children of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are entitled to their regal designations by law, Meghan previously indicated she believes her kids will be robbed of their royal titles.
During a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey last year, the former “Suits” actress said that the royal family had discussed changing the rules to prevent Archie from taking on his princely title. Meghan added they made the decision while she was still pregnant with her first child and claimed it stemmed from concerns about how “dark” the color of the baby’s skin would be.
