Royal Family make Archie and Lilibet's royal titles official with website change
ok.co.ukThe Royal Family has made Archie and Lilibet’s new titles official with an update to its website. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle publicly referred to their daughter as Princess Lilibet Diana for the first time this week as they announced their 21 month old daughter had been christened at their home in Montecito, California.
