Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Children Likely to Miss Out on HRH Titles

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's children, Archie and Lilibet, are unlikely to be granted the prestigious HRH titles, according to royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams.

The Duke of Sussex, 38, has been at the center of a media storm with his explosive revelations about the royal family, which have seemingly dashed any hopes of his offspring inheriting the royal titles.

In a recent interview with People magazine, Harry expressed his desire for his children to have a relationship with the royal family, raising questions about the possibility of reconciliation amidst the ongoing turmoil.

Fitzwilliams expressed skepticism about the potential for a reconciliation, given the current circumstances.

He highlighted the uncertainty surrounding whether Archie and Lily will have the opportunity to interact with their royal cousins and the rest of the family in the future.

The longstanding protocol established by King George V in 1917 dictates that the Sussex children should automatically receive HRH titles, but the final decision rests with the reigning monarch.

However, given the strained relations and the couple's decision to step back from their royal duties in 2020, it appears unlikely that the titles will be bestowed upon their children.

The prospect of a reconciliation between Prince Harry and the royal family could pave the way for his children to establish stronger connections with their grandfather King Charles, uncle Prince William, and other members of the royal household.

Despite Harry's expressed desire for his children to maintain ties with their royal relatives, there is growing speculation that his public criticisms and actions may have irreparably damaged those relationships.

The limited interactions between Prince Harry and Meghan's children and their royal relatives over the past few years further underscore the complexities of the situation.

Archie, born in May 2019, briefly resided at Frogmore Cottage near Windsor Castle before the family's decision to relocate to the United States.

His most recent visit to the UK was in June last year, coinciding with the late Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

Joining him on this trip was his younger sister, Lilibet, born in June 2021 in Santa Barbara.

The infrequent encounters between the Sussex children and their royal counterparts hint at the challenges they may face in establishing lasting connections within the royal family.

The ongoing rift between Prince Harry and the royal household raises doubts about the future status of Archie and Lilibet as HRH title holders.

The complexities of their familial relationships, coupled with the public scrutiny surrounding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, create a contentious backdrop for any potential reconciliation.
