Prince Charles does not want his two-year-old grandson Archie to be a prince, revealed The Mail on Sunday. The heir to the throne made it clear that Harry and Megan’s son would have no place among the royals once he sat on the throne.
The move angered the Dukes of Sussex and is believed to have provoked a series of fierce accusations against the couple against Charles and the royal family.
Prince Charles must change the monarchy to ensure that his two-year-old grandson Archie will never be a prince. The sovereign’s grandson has long been entitled to be a prince, but Charles is determined to limit the number of key royalty, believing that the public is unwilling to pay for the ever-growing monarchy. Charles has told Sussex that he will change key legal documents to ensure that Archie cannot receive the title he would ever inherit, a source close to the couple said. The decision ruined the relationship between Harry and his relatives.
“Harry and Megan were told that Archie would never be a prince, even when Charles became king,” the source confirmed.
This information sheds light on part of an interview with Oprah Winfrey given by Harry and Megan. In a conversation with Oprah, Megan recalled that when she was pregnant, “they [кралското семейство] they said they didn’t want him to be a prince. “
She continued, “You know, the other part of that convention is that there’s a convention – I forget if it was the convention of George V or George VI – that when you’re the monarch’s grandson, so when Harry’s father becomes king, automatically Archie and our next baby would become a prince or princess … But it is also not their right to take it away.
This puzzled royal observers, who reminded Sussex that they had publicly declared that they did not want a title for their son, who would be known as Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.
Some have argued that Prince Harry’s son, the queen’s great-grandson, is not automatically entitled to be titled a prince or receive security benefits. But this was to ignore the real drama that unfolds behind the scenes. Because Megan actually meant the secret news that Archie would never become a prince, even when Charles was king.
The source said: “This is what no one understood from the interview. The truth was that Charles would take active steps to deprive Archie of the title of “prince.”
The existing rules for royal titles were established in the Letters Patent of November 20, 1917.
In them, King George V, the Queen’s grandfather, allowed the title of Prince and Princess to be given to the children of the Sovereign, the children of the Sovereign’s sons and the eldest living son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales – in this case, Prince George .
Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, William’s daughter and younger son, received their titles not by right, but as gifts from the Queen, who issued new written rules in 2013. Similarly, the Future King Charles will have the power to change the decree of George V as he saw fit.
An insider said, “Charles realizes that the public doesn’t want to pay for a huge monarchy, and, as he said, the balcony of Buckingham Palace is likely to collapse.”
Even now, not all of the Queen’s grandchildren are titled Prince or Princess. Because she is the daughter and not the son of a sovereign, Princess Anne’s children are not automatically entitled to the title.
The queen’s youngest son, Prince Edward, thought it prudent not to name his daughter and son as princess and prince. Instead, they are Lady and Viscount, respectively.
A Palace source said: “We will not speculate on the inheritance or comment on rumors coming from America.”
