According to royal commentator Kate Manzy, there's a growing likelihood that Lady Louise might assume royal duties after completing her education. Manzy shared, "I think Lady Louise would, from people I speak to in the palace. Lady Louise, I think, is quite willing to do that.
I remember going to some Guild Hall event, and she was with her father, very competently circulating and talking to dignitaries and foreign royals. I think that there might be a role in the way that Princess Beatrice and Eugenie play a role."
She also noted that Lady Louise is currently at university, allowing ample time for her to come to terms with the potential of a larger royal role in the future. Her parents, Prince Edward and Sophie, have raised their children with the understanding that they will likely need to pursue regular careers. In a 2020 interview with the Sunday Times, the Duchess explained, "We tried to bring them up with the understanding they're very likely to have to work for a living; hence, we made the decision not to use HRH titles."
Lady Louise is frequently commended for her poise and confidence at royal events, such as the coronation, where she wore a beautiful blue floral dress. Unlike her parents, who received the titles of Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, and her brother James, who became the Earl of Wessex, Lady Louise's title remained "Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor."
In a separate development, the British Parliament has taken a significant step to address what they perceive as a breach of royal conduct. Amid concerns that Meghan Markle may have misused her royal title for personal financial gain, a petition with over 12,000 signatures was circulated, reflecting public demands for accountability and integrity within the royal family.
In response to these concerns, Parliament ruled that Archie, the son of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, would not inherit the Sussex title. This decision is a response to mounting public outcry and emphasizes the importance of upholding the dignity and respect associated with royal titles. Titles within the royal family carry immense responsibility and demand unwavering dignity and respect. Parliament's action underscores their commitment to preserving these values and safeguarding the royal lineage.
By disassociating Archie from the Sussex title, Parliament aims to secure a future title holder who embodies the values and principles expected of the position. This move seeks to uphold the heritage of the royal lineage and ensure that titles are held by individuals who demonstrate responsibility and respect.
This decision marks a shift in the perception and protection of royal titles and reflects the British people's insistence on a royal family that upholds tradition with honor while rejecting any form of exploitation for personal gain. In categorizing Harry and Meghan separately, King Charles has redefined the concept of the monarchy, dividing family members into distinct categories of senior Royals, working Royals, non-working Royals, and others.
Harry and Meghan find themselves within the "others" category, distinguishing them from the rest of the royal family. King Charles's reconfiguration of the monarchy reinforces the importance of responsibility, duty, and the dignified representation of the royal legacy.
