In a decisive move, Buckingham Palace has reportedly begun the process to eradicate Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s children, Archie and Lilibet, from the official royal lineup and strip them of their royal titles. This controversial decision marks a significant shift in the monarchy’s approach to the Sussexes and their offspring, stemming from years of mounting tensions and scandals surrounding their legitimacy and public status.
The children, who were granted the titles of prince and princess upon King Charles’ ascension to the throne in 2022, have faced constant scrutiny. Unusual for royal children, Archie and Lilibet have not been publicly presented in traditional royal settings, fueling speculation about their place within the monarchy. Despite initially receiving official titles as per the 1917 Letters Patent, recent reports indicate plans are afoot for the palace to formally remove these designations, signaling a move to protect the crown’s image and constitutional order.
Sources reveal that King Charles, or perhaps Prince William in the near future, could exercise the power to strip the children’s HRH (His/Her Royal Highness) status, effectively excluding them from royal duties and privileges. Insider reports suggest this is not driven by personal animosity but a strategic effort to slim down the monarchy and avoid further controversy that could tarnish the royal family’s reputation.
This action is expected to deepen the divide between the Sussexes and the royal establishment, hitting hard at Meghan’s cultivated image as a devoted royal mother. It also puts the couple’s public brand and financial ambitions at risk, as losing royal titles diminishes their influence and standing within global society.
As the palace remains silent on the matter publicly, the message is clear—there will be no more tolerance for perceived disruptions to the monarchy, and Archie and Lilibet’s royal roles may soon be a thing of the past.
