Amidst speculation about the future roles of the British royals under King Charles III's reign, attention turns to the treatment Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's children, Archie and Lilibet Diana, may receive, considering the couple's past comments about the royal family.
Reports suggest that King Charles III has extended an invitation to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to resume their association with the British royal family.
In response, the King has purportedly promised to bestow new titles upon Archie and Lilibet Diana, in contrast to Queen Elizabeth II's earlier assurance that the children would not be granted royal treatment.
The anticipation revolves around the nature of these "new titles" for Archie, now 3 years old, and Lilibet Diana, 1 year old.
According to a rule established by King George V in 1917, grandchildren in the direct male line of any sovereign, excluding only the eldest living son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales, are entitled to the style and title enjoyed by the sons of the dukes of the realms.
Despite this historical precedent, King Charles III has yet to make a final decision, expressing a desire to review Prince Harry's memoirs and a forthcoming Netflix documentary before determining whether the children will acquire the prince and princess titles.
Concerns also surround the Netflix documentary, which Prince Harry has reportedly requested to be edited since Charles ascended the throne.
However, documentary producers are adamant about preserving the entirety of the content. The release date remains uncertain, but its potential impact on the British crown is eagerly anticipated.
