Royal Family Disputes Meghan Markle’s Claims About Archie’s Title and Security

Meghan Markle's recent statements on the royal family and concerns about her son Archie's skin color have been contradicted.

In a revealing interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan shared conversations she had with Prince Harry and another family member regarding Archie's skin tone prior to his birth.

Among the assertions made by the couple was Meghan's claim that their children were not going to be given prince or princess titles due to worries about their skin color.

However, these claims were proven false when King Charles assumed the throne last year, securing the titles of prince and princess for Archie and Lilibet, along with their HRH designation.

According to regulations established by George V in 1917, only the children and grandchildren of a reigning monarch are automatically entitled to prince or princess titles and the HRH designation.

With King Charles taking over as monarch following Queen Elizabeth II's passing, Archie's entitlement to a prince title and the potential for his younger sister Lilibet to be styled as a princess were affirmed.

In a recent development, Prince Harry faced a setback in the UK's High Court when his request for police protection upon his return to the country was rejected.

Despite this ruling, Prince Harry is determined to challenge the decision.

His legal representative argued that the special security process designed for him does not offer the same risk assessment provided to other working members of the British royal family.

The detailed 51-page ruling shed light on Harry and Meghan's trip to New York City in May 2023.

It revealed that the New York Police Department identified a threat to the couple from paparazzi during their visit.

The ruling also disclosed information about Harry's visits to the UK since he and Meghan moved to California, including their extended stay in September 2022 due to Queen Elizabeth's passing.

The ruling highlighted the Sussexes' desire to bring their children, Archie and Lilibet, on the trip but decisions made by RAVEC, the Royal and VIP Executive Committee responsible for security coordination, prevented them from doing so.

The document mentioned that despite notifying the Home Office about their visit in September 2022, the security arrangements proposed were deemed inadequate by RAVEC, leading to the couple traveling to the UK without their children.

Prince Harry's spokesperson emphasized that while the Duke and Duchess of Sussex privately fund their family's security team, it cannot replace the required police protection while in the UK.

This lack of adequate security has hindered Prince Harry and his family from returning to the UK, raising questions about their previous visit and the security arrangements in place.

Despite claims made in court documents, there is no mention of the picture taken at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor in June 2022, allegedly on Lilibet's birthday.

The discrepancy between the reported events and the lack of discussion in the ruling adds to the confusion surrounding the security concerns raised by Prince Harry and Meghan.

The ongoing disputes and discrepancies highlight the complex relationship between the royal family and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, leaving many questions unanswered.
