Archie and LittleBit Unlikely to Receive Royal Titles, Expert Says

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and , have two children, aged 3 and LittleBit aged 1.

In a recent interview, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliam shared his thoughts on the possibility of Harrison and LittleBit Diana receiving royal titles.

According to Fitzwilliam, it's highly unlikely the two youngsters will be granted such titles following the couple's eviction from Frogmore.

Fitzwilliam went on to explain the repercussions of this decision for the Duke and Duchess children, stating it means Harry and Meghan's children, Archie and Lily, are highly unlikely to be granted titles.

Archie and LittleBit were not granted the titles of Prince and Princess upon their births, as they were great-grandchildren of the monarch.

However, now that Charles is on the throne and they are grandchildren of the monarch, guidelines have changed.

The situation is further complicated by the fact that and are no longer senior royals and do not live in the UK.

As it stands, Archie and LittleBit are 6th and 7th in the line to the throne, according to the official line of succession.

When Archie was born in 2019, his parents opted not to use the courtesy title, Earl of Dumbarton, for their new son.

Instead, they chose to name him Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, in an effort to give him a more private life.

LittleBit, who was born in 2021, two years after Archie, is set to turn 2 in June.

She was born in the US, where her parents currently reside.

The issue of royal titles has been a contentious one for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, as they have sought to distance themselves from the royal family and its traditions.

However, as Fitzwilliams points out, the decision ultimately lies with the king, and it remains to be seen whether or not Archie and Lily will receive the titles of Prince and Princess in the future.

The rule regarding royal titles was established by King George in 1917 and states that the grandchildren of the sons of such sovereign in the direct male line, save only the eldest living son of the eldest son of Prince of Wales, shall have and enjoy on all occasions the style and title enjoyed by the children of the Dukes, Theses or Realms.

Fitzwilliams explains that the decision ultimately lies with the King, which further complicates the situation as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are no longer senior royals and do not live in the UK.

On the royal family's website, Archie is listed as Master Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, while LittleBit is listed as Miss LittleBit Mountbatten-Windsor.
