It was the stink ball that set fire to the powder, on March 7, 2021, during the exclusive interview given by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to American host Oprah Winfrey, a year after their departure from London . In this program which had been followed across the planet, the couple from Sussex declared to have been the victim of discrimination within the royal family.
“Prince Archie of Sussex and Princess Lilibet of Sussex”
Against the backdrop of serious accusations of racism – the question of the skin color of their baby Archie would have been mentioned in private at the Windsors – Meghan and Harry had deplored that their first child did not receive the title of prince within the institution . A title to which the 3 children of Kate Middleton and Prince William had nevertheless been entitled – George, Charlotte, and Louis.
Two years later, by consulting the official website of British royalty, Royals.ukwe see that the communication team of King Charles III has updated the profiles of Harry and Meghan which now stipulate: “The Duke and Duchess have two children, Prince Archie of Sussex and Princess Lilibet of Sussex.“.

And for good reason: on the death of Elizabeth II, Charles became king on September 8th. And the rule, which dates back to 1917 and King George V, is that the titles of prince and princess are bestowed on the king’s grandchildren, not his great-grandchildren. If the little Cambridges, George, Charlotte, and Louis, have been princes and princesses since their birth, it is because their dad, William, was then already the dolphin, second in line to inherit the throne.
Royal commentators have explained for two years that Prince Harry could not ignore such protocol, and that the accusations made against Buckingham that “didn’t want Archie to become a prince” could only be bad faith.

Still, Prince Harry was well informed of this change, which happened recently. As proof, last Friday, March 3, a spokesperson for King Charles III’s youngest son and his wife said: “I can confirm that Princess Lilibet Diana was baptized on Friday March 3 by the Archbishop of Los Angeles“. Now for peace, just before the coronation of Charles?
