Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Children Denied HRH Title

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's children will not be given the titles of His Royal Highness or Her Royal Highness, according to reports.

King Charles III has agreed to bestow the titles of Prince and Princess on Arch and Lilibet, but has refused to allow them to be known as His or Her Royal Highness.

This decision has reportedly left the couple furious.

The Sussexes have argued that this will leave their children with inadequate security and reportedly pointed out that Princesses Beatrice and Eugene possess HRH status but are not working royals.

A source said, “Harry and Meghan were worried about the security issue and being Prince and Princesses brings them the right to have certain levels of royal security.”

There have been a lot of talks over the past week.

They have been insistent that Arch and Lilibet are Prince and Princess.

They've been relentless since the Queen died, but they've been left furious that Arch and Lilibet cannot take the title of HRH.

The insider told, “That's the agreement, they can be Prince and Princess but not HRH because they're not working royals.”

However, some royal fans have pointed out that it is very strange that Harry has not seen his children for so long.

One fan said, “I just remember one of Meghan's favourite journalists saying it's obvious the nanny takes care of Louis all the time because Will and Kate could not calm Louis down during the Jubilee.

He's four for God's sake.

I don't recall Will and Kate being away from their kids as long as Harry has.

I know people think Harry will stay in the marriage for the kids, but I'm not so sure.

He seems like a very selfish man to his core.”

Another added, “But back to Harry, it's shocking to think he might be away for three weeks.

Come back for a week and then be gone another three weeks to a month, between August and September.

He's probably seen his kids for only a week so far.

Those poor kids, it's so sad.”

So what does HRH stand for and how are HRH officials treated differently?

HRH stands for His Royal Highness or Her Royal Highness.

King George V declared in 1917 that both sons and daughters of the ruling monarch, as well as grandchildren from the sovereign's male line, were entitled to be called that.

Queen Elizabeth II changed the rule in 2012, declaring that all children of the Prince of Wales' eldest son Prince William would be entitled to HRH titles.

The change did not mention Charles' younger children leaving Prince Harry in a grey area.

The Queen made her announcement before William and Kate Middleton had their first child, meaning that their daughter would be granted the title as well.

An HRH title gives access to a salary as a working royal and entitles one to official protection and security.

It also means people are supposed to bow or curtsy when an HRH approaches.
