Despite the loss of the royal title of prince Harry, Lilibet and Archie will be indeed princess and prince ... when prince Charles becomes king
This Wednesday, June 9, the specialized American site People affirmed that the children of Meghan Markle and Harry, Lilibet and Archie, will be well decked out in the title of princess and prince when Prince Charles accedes to the throne of England.
The British royal family has been destabilized for several months by various crises. First, Prince Harry and his partner Meghan Markle emancipated themselves from the royal clan by moving to the United States and giving an explosive interview to Oprah Winfrey. Following this media blast, Elisabeth II lost the love of her life with the death of Prince Philip. In mourning and very saddened by these events, the sovereign continued her honorary commitments but all the same delegated part of her duties to her son, Prince Charles. On the other side of the Atlantic, Prince Harry and his wife welcomed a little girl, Lilibet Diana, on June 4. Lilibet is the first granddaughter of the royal family to be born in the United States, far from the Queen. By bearing this name, it pays tribute to Princess Diana, the mother of Prince Harry and to Queen Elisabeth II.
A prince and a princess in a while
Following their exile on the American continent, the monarch had affirmed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had lost their royal engagements as well as honorary titles but this will not be the case of their children. This Wednesday, June 9, the American site People affirmed that Archie and Lilibet will have the title of prince and princess as soon as Prince Charles accedes to the throne. Indeed, according to tradition, the great grandsons and great granddaughters of the monarch do not have this honorary title except for the children of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales, namely Prince George, Princess Charlotte and the prince Louis.
Lilibet, source of discord?
In recent days, a rumor has claimed that the monarch has not been made aware that Prince Harry's daughter was named Lilibet ... But a source close to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex told the American site that the two parents-to-be first called Queen Elisabeth to ask if they could call their baby girl like that. Also according to this source, the widow of Prince Philip gave her blessing without hesitation.
