HARRY AND MEGHAN
Prince Harry (37) is still fifth in line to the throne, despite the decision by him and Meghan (41) to remove themselves from royal duties and move to the US.
When their son, Archie (3), was born, he was seventh in line to the throne and too far down the line of succession to warrant a royal title. His sister, Lilibet (1), was eighth in line.
Archie was entitled to the “courtesy title” of Earl of Dumbarton upon his birth, but the Sussexes declined and said he’d simply be known as Archie Mountbatten-Windsor.
Under rules established by King George V in 1917, the children and grandchildren of the monarch receive titles, but not the great-grandchildren.
This means that Archie and Lili, as King Charles III’s grandchildren, are entitled to become a prince and princess, which they weren’t when the queen was alive.
Their full titles will be Prince Archie Mountbatten-Windsor and Princess Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor. They’re also entitled to the designation HRH.
King Charles mentioned his youngest son and daughter-in-law in his speech. “I want to also express my love for Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their lives overseas.”
