Why Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s children can now use royal titles

“They said they didn’t want him to be a prince … which would be different from protocol and that he wasn’t going to get protection,” Meghan said, adding that there were also “concerns and talk about how his skin might be dark when he’s born,” when she was pregnant with Archie.

When asked if she would want Archie to have a royal title, Meghan said: “If it meant he would be safe then of course.”

After the Queen’s death, Harry became fifth in line to the throne, and Archie and Lily became sixth and seventh respectively.
