Meghan Markle was reportedly left in tears and deeply frustrated after Prince William’s move in Parliament effectively blocked her children, Archie and Lilibet, from holding official royal titles in the future.
While Archie and Lilibet were granted their titles as grandchildren of King Charles when he ascended to the throne, William’s plan for a slimmed-down monarchy includes excluding them from royal duties and formal royal roles once he becomes king.
This move is seen as part of William’s broader vision to streamline the royal family, limiting the number of official working royals and the use of HRH titles. Sources reveal Meghan and Harry had hoped their children would one day be able to choose to participate in royal duties if they wished, but William’s parliamentary strategy undermines those prospects.
Despite Meghan’s strong public stance for preserving her children’s royal status and privileges, palace insiders confirm that William’s influence and careful legal maneuvering have put these hopes on hold indefinitely. Meghan’s emotional response reflects the growing divide and tensions between the Sussexes and the future monarch’s camp.
