With the accession to the throne of Charles III, the children of Meghan Markle and Harry could become prince and princess under an ancient text according to which the grandchildren of the monarch in place automatically accede to the title of prince, if they wish. . However, King Charles was slow to make his position known on the subject.
Meghan Markle is getting impatient. Since ascending the British throne, Charles III has not spoken to discuss the titles of his children. A subject highly important to the Duchess of Sussex. In her interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2020Harry’s wife had complained that her son did not have the title of prince and had incriminated the royal family, accusing them of racism. An accusation that had hurt Prince William, pushing him – something very rare – to answer a question from a journalist during an outing. In this interview, the former actress explained that this title offered automatic protection for her son.
With Charles coming to the throne, commentators are wondering what he will do about Meghan and Harry’s role. On paper, and according to the official texts the grandchildren of the sovereign can claim the title of prince and princess. But we also know that Charles wants a tightened monarchy around the working members of the royal family, a more frugal monarchy also in which the members of the family who are not “Senior Royals”, that is to say the king, the heir and the wife and children of the latter are brought to work . However, Meghan and Harry lost their royal titles following their departure from Great Britain.
