Royal Expert Suggests Potential Future Role for Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet

The children of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex may have a more significant role within the royal family in the coming years, according to a royal expert.

In March, new titles were confirmed for Prince Archie Harrison and Princess Lilibet, allowing them to be styled as prince and princess moving forward.

Despite being eligible for these titles since September, no official decision was made after the princess's christening.

Royal editor Russell Meyer pointed out that this change could pave the way for the Sussex's children to take on a role within the royal family later in life.

He highlighted Prince Harry's previous comments about the burdens associated with princely titles and emphasized the need for a period of calm and breathing space for the family.

In a statement to Sky News Australia, the royal editor highlighted the inconsistency in Harry and Meghan's decision to grant their children prince and princess titles when they could have followed royal precedent.

Meyer noted that other members of the royal family, such as Princess Anne and the Earl and Countess of Wessex, did not opt for similar titles for their children.

Princess Anne's children, Peter Phillips and Sarah Tyndall, were reportedly offered princely status at birth by the late queen but declined the titles.

On the other hand, Prince Edward and Sophie, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, chose not to bestow prince titles on their children, resulting in them being known as Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor and Earl of Wessex.

Sources close to Harry and Meghan revealed that the couple's decision regarding their children's titles was driven by a desire to ensure their safety and security.

Negotiations with the palace were reportedly tense as the couple sought to guarantee that Archie and Lilibet would have access to adequate protection despite not being working royals.

The issue of security played a significant role in the discussions, as being titled prince and princess would entitle them to certain levels of royal security.

The couple clarified that while their children could hold these titles, they preferred not to use the HRH style, emphasizing that they are not actively working members of the royal family.

Looking ahead, the future roles of Archie and Lilibet within the monarchy remain uncertain.

Speculations arise about the paths they may choose to follow and the contributions they could make to the royal family in the years to come.
