Harry and Meghan, their children Archie and Lilibet are now prince and princess (with attached controversy)

It was 1917 when re George V, with letters patent, established that only the eldest of the future ruler would have been automatically prince at birth. A law to which he mourned her Queen Elizabeth waived a few years ago, with a document which guaranteed all the children of William And Kate Middleton the same treatment: Charlotte And Louistherefore, with the same title as the brother George.

No derogation was granted instead in May 2019, when the first child of Harry And Meghan Markle: «In the months that I was pregnant we had several conversations about the fact that Archie was not going to get it no title», revealed the duchess in the famous interview with Oprah Winfrey. True, even if the child would be became prince automatically with the accession to the throne of grandfather Charles.

The same goes for Lilibet Dianawhich came into the world in June 2021first member of the British royal family to be born in the United States. It is therefore not surprising that a few hours ago, when i Sussex they announced the baptism of their second child with an official note, have legitimately attributed them the title of princess. So what is it that she triggered yet another controversy tied up at the Windsor house?

The most attentive royal watchers have noticed that on the site of Buckingham Palacemore than six months after succession on the throne, the wording next to Archie And Lilibet has not yet been changed: master’s degree And Ms. If Harry and Meghan wanted give a signal at the Palace, it is not known: it is certain that, according to what he reveals Hello!, the duke seems to haveand since December an agreement with the dad for the issue of titles.

For gossips, Carlo – or more generally the palace – may have stalled due to the release of Shootwhich did not skimp criticisms to the British Crown. Thus, in response, the Sussexes would have autonomy “remembered” which, since Elizabeth’s death, Lilibet has become princessand Archie prince. But to see a provocation, in a mechanism that works by itself by following a line of succession, appears frankly a little forced.
