Princess Lilibet and Prince Archie, the children of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, will still be referred to as Prince and Princess, despite their parents stepping away from royal duties.

The decision has finally been announced, putting an end to the speculation surrounding their titles.

When Archie Harrison and Lilibet Diana were born, they were not granted the designation of HRH (His/Her Royal Highness) due to being the great-grandchildren of the monarch.

The question of whether Harry and Meghan’s children would use their royal titles has been a topic of heated discussion, given the couple’s strained relationship with the royal family.

Rumors of disputes behind the scenes intensified following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II in September.

However, a recent decision has now been made, bringing clarity to the situation.

In a significant development, it was revealed that one-year-old Lilibet had been baptized on Wednesday.

The ceremony took place on March 3 at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Montecito residence.

A spokesperson for the couple confirmed that Princess Lilibet Diana was christened by the Archbishop of Los Angeles, Reverend John Taylor.

This marked the first public address of Lilibet as a princess, a title bestowed upon her upon the ascension of her grandfather, King Charles III.

The use of the name Lilibet for Harry and Meghan’s children was communicated to the King, who confirmed that appropriate consultations had taken place before the announcement of Lilibet’s christening.

This news brings an end to the ongoing dispute over Archie and Lilibet’s royal titles.

The decision regarding Archie’s title was made when he was born in May 2018.

Unlike the children of Prince William and Kate, the late Queen Elizabeth II did not intervene to alter the regulations for Harry’s future children.

The fact that Harry is younger than his brother was a significant factor, as highlighted in his autobiography, “Spare.”

Historian Marlene Kenneg explained that if there were plans for Harry’s children to hold the same titles when Charles became King, the Queen may have included them in the letters patent.

However, she chose not to do so, and therefore, it was presumed that they would be styled as children of a Duke.

The 1917 letters patent issued by King George V stated that the children of any sovereign of these realms, as well as the children of the sons of any such sovereign, shall have the style, title, or attribute of Royal Highness.

The eldest living son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales would also hold this title.

The rest of the children would be styled as a Duke.

This meant that every male line, except for the Prince of Wales’s offspring, would be known as H.H.

Prince.

However, Queen Elizabeth revised the letters patent in 2012, stating that regardless of gender, the first-born child of Kate and William would obtain the titles of H.R.H.

Prince or Princess.

This alteration did not include Harry’s future children, leading royal critic Victoria Arbiter to suggest that the Queen never intended for Harry’s offspring to carry the burden of an H.R.H.

title.

She could have revised the ruling to include all grandchildren of the Prince of Wales, but she did not.

Upon the death of Queen Elizabeth and the accession of King Charles, there was a sudden change.

Both Archie and Lilibet acquired the right to wear Prince and Princess attire, as stated in the 1917 letters patent.

The resolution of the dispute over Archie and Lilibet’s royal titles brings clarity to their status within the royal family.

Despite their parents’ decision to step back from royal duties, they will still be referred to as Prince and Princess.

This news marks an important milestone in their young lives and puts an end to the speculation surrounding their titles.
