Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle, last Valentine’s Day, they announced they are expecting their second child. And now the real observers are asking: the baby on the way will it have a title? For sure, when he is born, he will be in eighth position in the line of succession to the throne, after his little brother Archie.
When in May 2019 the eldest son, the Sussex have decided to do not give it any title, to ensure the child a life as normal as possible. Archie he could have been an earl, Earl Dumbarton, one of Father Harry’s titles granted by the Queen Elisabetta the wedding day. Or it could be Lord. The Dukes of Sussex they all declined courtesy titles: Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, despite being royal, he is “only” the seventh heir to the throne of England.
However thanks to an ancient custom of the Windsors, at the time Charles of England will become king both Archie and the incoming little brother (or sister) – as grandsons of the sovereign – could receive a title, if Harry and Meghan so wish. The thing – especially now that the Sussexes have definitively said to the royal family, thus losing patronage and military posts – appears highly unlikely.
Even Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank’s son, little August, doesn’t have a royal title. Because the titles are handed down on the men’s line, and Jack doesn’t own any. However, things could change if Her Majesty decides to grant Eugenie’s husband a county or if he enacts a license letter, that is, one of those measures that do not need the conversion into law by the government. In 2012 with a patent letter His Majesty established that all children of William and Kate Middleton they would have enjoyed the title of Royal Highness. Not only George, the only one who was entitled to it as the queen’s first grandson, but also Charlotte e Louis. Already in the past the exception had been made for Prince Andrew’s two daughters, Eugenie and Beatrice, at the request of the father.
Princess Anne of England, on the contrary, he did not want titles for his children, Zara e Peter Phillips. Because he dreamed that they would have a life as free and “normal” as possible. Harry and Meghan, for their children, want the same.
