Prince Charles Tells Prince Harry That Archie Will Never Be a Prince
Another leak from a private conversation between the royal family and Prince Harry has surfaced, causing growing frustration at the palace.
According to the Mail on Sunday, Prince Charles told the Duke of Sussex that his grandson Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor will never be a prince.
The leak has caused quite a stir, with some speculating that it came from a friend or source within the Sussexes' camp.
Charlie Ray, a former royal editor at The Sun, shared his thoughts on the matter during an interview with TalkRadio.
He stated that Harry and Meghan had made the decision to leave the royal family and live in America, which was fine, but they could hardly expect Archie to be a prince.
Prince Charles has always wanted a slimmed-down monarchy, with a small nucleus of working royals.

This would have included Harry and Meghan if they had decided to stay.
During the interview, Christo, the TalkRadio host, asked if this decision was a result of Harry and Meghan's announcement that they didn't want to be senior royals anymore.
Sir Charles responded by saying that it made his life easier, and they wouldn't make their children princes or princesses.
Mr Ray confirmed that this was the first scenario, and it explains why Archie will never be a prince.
It's interesting to note that Archie is still technically the Earl of Dumbarton, but the couple decided not to use that title.
Some people thought they were hoping that Archie would one day be a prince, but they were wrong.
Meghan's claim in the Oprah Winfrey interview that the royals didn't want Archie to be a prince now makes sense.
Leaks from the couple in the past have frustrated officials inside the palace, with Ingrid Seward of Majesty magazine claiming that the royals hate their private conversations being leaked to the press.
She warned that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would cause a problem if details of more private chats were revealed in the press.
According to the Mail on Sunday report, a source close to the couple revealed that Harry and Meghan were told Archie would never be a prince, even when Charles became king.
Charles reportedly told Harry that he would change a key document preventing his grandson from inheriting a title that would once have been his birthright.
This also explains why Meghan claimed during her interview with Oprah that the royal family didn't want Archie to be a prince or princess.
The leak has caused quite a stir, with many wondering who could have leaked the information.
The fact that it came from a friend or source within the Sussexes' camp is concerning, and it puts into context why they were so vitriolic in the Oprah Winfrey interview.
It's important to note that leaks like this can cause significant damage to the royal family's reputation.
