The children of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Prince Archie Harrison and Princess Lilibet Diana, may have a more significant role within the royal family in the future, according to a royal expert.
In March, their new titles as prince and princess were confirmed by the palace, allowing them to use their titles by birthright.
However, no official decision has been made regarding their future roles within the royal family.
Royal editor Russell Meyer pointed out that this new status could potentially open doors for Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to take on a role within the royal family later in life.
He highlighted Prince Harry’s previous comments about finding princely titles burdensome, suggesting that their future roles remain uncertain.
Meyer emphasized the importance of a period of calm and breathing space for both Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Speaking to Sky News Australia, the royal editor also noted the inconsistency in the couple’s decision to have their children use the titles of prince and princess.
He mentioned that just a few weeks ago, Harry and Meghan negotiated these titles for their children, despite previously indicating a desire to avoid titles for them.
Meyer highlighted that other members of the royal family, such as Princess Anne and the Earl Countess of Wessex, did not choose titles for their children.
The situation raises questions about what this means for other members of the royal family.
Princess Anne’s children, Peter Phillips and Sarah Tyndall, were not automatically eligible for royal titles as descendants of a monarch in the female line.
Although the late queen reportedly offered to grant them princely status at birth, they declined.
On the other hand, if Prince Edward and Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, had not decided to forego the prince titles, their children would have been known as Prince Louise and Prince James.
Instead, they are referred to as Lady Louise Mountbatten Windsor and Earl of Wessex.
Friends close to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle claimed that their decision was driven by a desire to ensure the highest level of protection for their children.
They engaged in tense negotiations with the palace to secure the right for Archie and Lilibet to use their titles while not being considered working royals.
The couple wanted their children to have royal security, which comes with being prince and princess, but without the HRH style.
The future of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet within the monarchy remains uncertain.
It is unclear what specific roles they may take on as they grow older.
The public is left to speculate and share their thoughts on their potential future in the comment section.
Only time will tell what lies ahead for these young members of the royal family.
