Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have not been the only ones embroiled in a dispute over their titles.

The question of what their children would be called has remained unanswered until now.

Archie and Lilibet were not bestowed with HRH titles at birth due to their position in the line of succession.

However, recent formal discussions have led to a significant change.

In a much-anticipated announcement, it has been revealed that one-year-old Lilibet has been christened, and Harry and Meghan’s spokesperson officially confirmed her princess title.

A trusted royal source further disclosed that the King had been informed of the couple’s intention to use the title for their children.

However, it is noteworthy that the British Royal Family’s website does not list Prince or Princess titles for the Sussexes’ offspring.

Interestingly, the website was promptly updated to reflect this change, indicating Meghan’s influence in this matter.

Critics argue that Meghan is playing a name game, compelling others to address her daughter as Princess.

On the royal website, however, she will be referred to as “Lily.”

Last December, Harry and Meghan disclosed that Lily had already been baptized on the Netflix reality show.

The ceremony was officiated by the Archbishop of Los Angeles, Reverend John Taylor.

According to People magazine, the event was attended by approximately 20 to 30 guests, including Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, and Lilibet’s godfather, Tyler Perry.

It is important to note that Bishop Taylor is not affiliated with the Church of England.

Consequently, Lilibet’s princess status is purely ceremonial and lacks legal validity.

Archie, on the other hand, was baptized in England, specifically in the Church of England, yet he is not listed as a prince.

Therefore, it is questionable whether Lily, born and baptized outside of the country and in a different church, will be granted princess status.

King Charles, known for his desire to streamline the monarchy by reducing the number of working royals and royal titles, has left the titles of the Sussexes’ children uncertain.

Following the Queen’s passing, Prince William, Kate, and their children’s titles were automatically updated on the royal family’s website.

However, no such change occurred for Archie and Lilibet.

According to the tradition established by George V in 1917, technically, Archie and Lilibet could be referred to as Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, should they choose to do so.

Nevertheless, they are still listed as Master and Miss.

This discrepancy has reportedly caused behind-the-scenes arguments, with Harry and Meghan expressing their dissatisfaction with the absence of their children’s titles.

During their revealing interview with Oprah Winfrey last year, Meghan disclosed that the royal family had discussed changing the protocol to prevent Archie from receiving a royal title.

She shared, “In those months when I was pregnant, all around the same time, we had in tandem the conversation of he won’t be given security, he won’t be given a title, and there were also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin tone would be.”

It was apparent that Harry and Meghan did not wish to deny their children their rightful heritage, but rather allow them to decide for themselves when they reach an appropriate age.

In conclusion, after much speculation and controversy, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s children have finally been granted their rightful titles of Princess and Prince.

The decision comes after formal discussions and the christening of one-year-old Lilibet.
