Meghan Markle Reveals Uncertainty Over Archie’s Prince Status

In a recent interview with Oprah, Meghan Markle opened up about her son Archie's title, or lack thereof.

Despite being seventh in line to the throne, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor is not a prince.

However, Meghan clarified that he can be addressed as “master” if encountered in person.

When Archie was born in 2019, there were speculations that Meghan and Harry deliberately chose not to give him the HRH (His Royal Highness) title.

However, Meghan explained that this decision was made by a secretive member of the royal family or the firm, and it was not their choice to make.

Other pressing matters took precedence over the issue of titles.

One consequence of Archie not having the HRH designation is that he and his parents no longer receive security.

Meghan emphasized that having the title would offer them safety and security.

This also explains why they refrained from taking photos of the hospital after Archie's birth, unlike Prince William and Kate, due to security concerns.

Meghan referenced a 1917 edict by King George V, stating that only Prince Charles, the Queen's eldest son, would be eligible for the HRH title.

She highlighted that Prince William and Kate were able to confer HRH titles on their three children through a letters patent granted by the Queen in 2012.

The reasons behind Archie not being proclaimed a prince remain unclear.

During the interview, Meghan hinted that Archie's race may have played a role in this decision.

She revealed that a member of the royal family expressed concerns about the potential skin tone of their future child during their courtship.

Meghan acknowledged that discussions about their baby being black took place, implying that this assumption was accurate.

The issue of titles, however, was not Meghan's primary concern.

She emphasized that she has been various things in her life, including a waitress, an actress, a princess, and a duchess.

The most important title to her is being a mom, and she does not attach herself to the grandeur surrounding these matters.

In other news, the release of Prince Harry's highly anticipated book, “The Death of the Queen,” has been delayed following Queen Elizabeth II's passing.

A recent poll conducted by Express.co.uk reveals that a majority of readers, 85%, believe Harry should abandon his autobiography.

Royal commentator Sandro Manetti suggests that doing so could help mend fences with the royal family.

While some readers argued that Harry should proceed with publishing the book to bring everything into the open, others believed it was too late to back out now.

Robert Jobson, a royal expert, explained that Harry finds himself in a difficult situation, torn between seeking approval from his family and his wife's support.

However, with a lucrative four-book deal from Penguin Random House, it seems unlikely that Harry will give up on his memoir.

Over the past two years, Harry has been collaborating with ghostwriter J.R. Moehringer, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, on his memoir.

The book is expected to shed light on various aspects of his life and experiences within the royal family.
