Prince William has made a big decision about the royal titles of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s children Archie and Lilibet, a friend of the Prince of Wales has disclosed.
The friend of Prince William was speaking to the Daily Beast after the Guardian reported that Harry wants to keep the HRH titles for his children so that when they grow older they can decide for themselves whether they want to become working royals, or stay out of public life.
Disclosing Prince William’s decision, a friend of the future king says “William obviously isn’t going to hire Archie and Lilibet.”
“This is just trolling on the part of Harry and Meghan. It’s actually hilarious that no one even noticed it for ten days, until the Mail did it.
“The idea that somehow having a vestigial HRH as a baby later entitles you to be a working royal is beyond parody, even for them.”
The insider continued, “Harry and Meghan were asked by the queen to stop using their HRHs, and agreed. Obviously, any reasonable person would understand that would mean your kids don’t use them either.”
The outlet quoted Norman Baker, a former government minister who has written extensively on royal and constitutional matters, previously said: “As the bestowing of an HRH is in the gift of the monarch, the monarch could remove the HRH title. It would basically be the equivalent to an executive order in the U.S.”
