It's been a year since the uproar over Harry and Meghan's push for royal titles for Archie and Lily. Speculation about their children continues to grow, fueled by the Sussexes' contentious actions. Before the official announcement granting Prince and Princess titles to Archie and Lily, Harry and Meghan were reportedly furious that their children weren't styled as His/Her Royal Highness. Harry even claimed they'd been requesting it persistently since the Queen's passing—a demand that raised eyebrows, given Meghan's avowed disinterest in the monarchy. It begs the question: why insist on titles for children largely unseen in far-off America, especially when Meghan herself criticizes the institution?
After Meghan changed Archie and Lily's last names to "Mountbatten-Windsor" this year and continued to provoke the royal family, their motives became clearer. Meghan seems determined to embed herself in royal associations for long-term profit—a goal evident in her efforts to align with royal ties.
But what's driving this obsession with titles? Perhaps it's a bid to secure their children's future status, ensuring they retain His/Her Royal Highness even if Parliament strips Harry and Meghan of their Duke and Duchess titles. Meghan's primary aim likely revolves around maintaining the highest status for her children, especially if rumors about surrogate pregnancies hold true. These suspicions gained traction after Harry's Oprah interview, where he criticized his father and the late Queen, implying neglect towards their "invisible" grandchildren.
The lack of transparency surrounding Archie and Lily's births fuels further doubts. Are they truly Meghan's children? Are they even real? The secrecy and Photoshop rumors surrounding their photos only add to the speculation. Meghan's actions, from distant parenting claims to maintaining a California lifestyle far removed from royal traditions, only deepen public skepticism.
It's a complex issue of identity and entitlement, with public calls for transparency. If they're truly in the line of succession, shouldn't their birth certificates be public? The reluctance to disclose vital details only fuels conspiracy theories.
Amidst all this, Harry and Meghan's clashes with King Charles highlight their disregard for royal protocols and familial unity. Their insistence on visibility and titles appears to overshadow genuine concern for royal duties or family ties.
Ultimately, the debate isn't just about titles—it's about integrity and accountability. Can Harry and Meghan reconcile their desire for privacy with their aspirations for royal recognition? Only time will tell if their children will inherit the privileges they seek.
