Prince Harry, Meghan Markle's Kids Granted Right to Prince and Princess Titles as King Charles Ascends Throne
King Charles III takes his place on the throne, Prince Harry andMeghan Markle's children -- 3-year-old Archie and 1-year-old Lilibet — now hold the right to be named Prince and Princess. According to a 1917 law from King George V -- also known as the George V Convention or 1917 Letters Patent — the children of a Sovereign and the children of a Sovereign's sons are entitled to HRH style titles and the distinction of a Prince or Princess prefix to their name. However, it will be up to Harry and Meghan — still known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex — to choose whether their little ones will, in fact, use said titles. As it stands, their children are now the first-ever Prince and Princess of Sussex.There has been speculation that with Charles becoming the king, that he might amend this long-held law to limit the number of key royals and set firm expectations of what roles a prince and princess are expected to fulfill in the modern monarchy.
