However rocky their relationship may be, Charles wouldn't take such a drastic step without proper justification. It would be too obvious of a personal vendetta, even for him. Charles may be strict, but he's not foolish enough to provoke Harry and Meghan's wrath like that. He knows it would turn into a public relations nightmare and a legal battle.
The King is strategic and won't make rash decisions. I could envision a scenario where Archie and Lili's positions shift naturally over time as William's children have their own offspring. But eliminating them completely? That's unlikely to happen without concrete cause. At the end of the day, Harry and Meghan's children pose no actual threat to Charles or William. So why stir up unnecessary controversy over their succession rights? It serves no purpose and appears to be exaggerated rumors aimed at portraying Charles as a heartless ogre shutting out his troublesome son.
The reality is that Charles is pragmatic and won't take extreme measures without justification. We all know that his grandkids are his best chance of reconciling with Harry. Regardless of the current icy relationship, Charles will want to leave the door open for the future. He understands that he can't force Harry's hand when it comes to mending fences, but allowing Archie and Lili to retain their succession rights keeps a path open, no matter how distant that hope may seem.
Charles plays the long game and strategizes carefully. He won't let family drama override reason when it comes to matters of succession. He won't give Harry and Meghan ammunition for victimhood. However, he'll keep the threat of removing their titles on the table as a power play. It's a way to ensure they don't give him more reasons to eliminate their children fully by airing more dirty laundry. That's classic stern-father Charles.
