The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, are proud parents of two adorable children, Archie Harrison, age 3, and Lilibet Lily Diana, age 1.

However, the question of whether Archie and Lily will receive royal titles has been a topic of speculation.

According to royal commentator Angela Levin, the decision regarding their titles may be delayed until they reach adulthood.

This delay would allow them to make informed decisions about their future roles within the royal family and the associated responsibilities.

When their grandfather, King Charles, ascends to the throne in September, Archie and Lily would technically qualify for the titles of Prince and Princess, along with an HRH (His/Her Royal Highness) title.

However, it remains uncertain whether they will be bestowed with these titles if they choose to continue using the surname Mountbatten-Windsor as they grow older.

Intriguingly, the upcoming memoir by the Duke of Sussex and the Netflix docu-series focused on Meghan and Harry’s lives may influence the future monarch’s judgment regarding the titles for Archie and Lily.

While the Netflix series has not yet been officially announced by the streaming service, Meghan mentioned their confidence in director Liz Garbus during a recent interview with Variety.

On the other hand, the memoir, titled “Spare,” is set to be distributed by Penguin Random House on January 10th.

Angela Levin expressed uncertainty about whether Archie and Lily will eventually receive titles, stating that it may depend on the content of the documentary and memoir.

She suggested that if these works contain damaging allegations or attacks against the royal family, Prince Charles might decide against granting his grandchildren their titles.

Levin emphasized the importance of children having a genuine understanding of what it means to be part of the British royal family before being bestowed with such prestigious titles.

Drawing a parallel, Lady Louis Windsor and James, the children of the Earl and Countess of Wessex, were also not given titles at birth.

This decision was in accordance with an agreement between their parents and the late monarch.

As a result, Lady Louis and James have been able to grow up away from the public eye while still participating in various activities related to their parents’ royal duties.

The Countess of Wessex addressed the issue of her children’s titles in a 2020 interview, explaining that they were being raised with an awareness of the need to work for a living.

As a result, they decided not to use HRH titles.

However, once they turn 18, they will have the option to utilize these titles if they choose to do so.

Lady Louis recently turned 18 but has not indicated any desire to step away from her royal status.

The topic of royal titles for Archie became a subject of discussion when Meghan revealed in her historic interview with Oprah Winfrey that unnamed officials within the royal institution had conversations about denying him the title of prince.

Meghan expressed her concern for Archie’s security and the inequality she perceived as a person of color within the family.

She also mentioned a convention that would automatically grant titles to grandchildren of the monarch, implying that there was an intention to change this convention for Archie.

In response to Meghan’s claims, the palace released a statement acknowledging the issues raised and promising to address them privately.

However, they did not directly address the specific claim regarding Archie’s title.

Meghan referred to King George’s 1917 letters patent, which stated that all royal offspring, including royal sons’ children and the eldest son of the Prince of Wales, are eligible for prince or princess titles.

In 2012, Queen Elizabeth issued new letters patent, ensuring that all children of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge would receive prince or princess titles from birth, not just their firstborn.

The question of whether Archie and Lily should be entitled to royal titles remains open for debate.

The decision to delay their titles until adulthood allows them to gain a comprehensive understanding of royal life and make an informed choice.

It also ensures that they have the opportunity to experience the world beyond the confines of the royal family.

Whether they ultimately choose to embrace their royal heritage or forge their own paths, only time will tell.
