On the morning of March 9, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, were officially awarded the royal title, but the children's order remained unchanged, still the sixth and seventh heirs respectively. Harry and Meghan were so happy after waiting so long to finally get the official announcement, and then they issued a statement saying that the children's titles were innate and that "this matter has been settled for a while, consistent with Buckingham Palace." ”
The day before, a spokesman for the Sussex couple had confirmed to Page Six that the two children would be given the titles of prince and princess, instead of "young master" and "miss". Buckingham Palace also responded that they have communicated with the Sussexes about the title, and the official royal website will update the titles of Archie and Lilibet in due course. But I didn't expect that just one day later, the royal family was officially announced.
However, it is said that King Charles III granted the titles of Archie and Lilibet as early as last Christmas, but for some reason it has not been made public until now.
According to a source said, it is customary for royal families to update the titles of all members after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, but the titles of Archie and Lilibet have been delayed until now, and it is strange after their parents were asked to move out of Frogmore Cottage.
The source added, "Why now? It all happened at the end of last year, and the timing is strange. ”
Perhaps, this is the cleverness of King Charles, after all, he has less than two months before he officially ascends the throne, and this time can no longer let his son and daughter-in-law make trouble, and the only way to gag them is to meet their demands.
For Harry and Meghan, the issue of children's titles is the most important thing, and it has been unresolved but dreams at night.
So, the King's choice to grant Archie and Lilibet titles at this time was clearly a win-win for both sides. I have to say that ginger is still old and spicy, just like adults teaching children, giving him a little bitterness and then letting him taste some sweet, the child will be well-behaved.
Harry and Meghan were originally reluctant to say whether to attend Charles' coronation, but now Buckingham Palace seems to have received the wind and began to prepare for the Sussex couple to return home.
People familiar with the matter revealed to the Daily Mail that Buckingham Palace staff are already working on the logistics of the coronation and have been instructed to "include the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in the event plan for May 6", taking into account everything including car, seating arrangements, meal arrangements.
The royal insider also said that while it is still uncertain whether Harry and Meghan would like to come to the coronation, it can at least show that they did not completely refuse, so the staff must make arrangements in advance, just in case.
And royal expert Gareth Russell revealed earlier in an interview with Us Weekly that King Charles is very much looking forward to the Harry family returning to London, "He made it clear that he welcomed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, as well as their children Lilibet and Archie, back." ”
But Charles's move was considered too soft-hearted, after all, Harry and Meghan did not make him uneasy, and Harry's revelation of the royal family in "Spare Tires" made the senior members even more embarrassed.
Harry detailed his tense relationship with his father in his memoirs, in which he spoke of Charles often making jokes about his "biological father", although the joke was not at all funny to him.
It is reported that when Harry was very young, there were rumors that he was not Charles's biological son, but was born to Diana and Major James Hewitt, because Harry had the same red hair as Major Hewitt. Of course, this is just a rumor.
