Prince William makes decision about Archie, Lilibet after shocking update

Prince William is planning major changes for his reign after his estranged brother and sister-in-law hatched secret plans despite their growing feuds.

Prince Archie was only a year old when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex left their senior royal positions. When they left, they were instructed by the late Queen Elizabeth to not use their ‘HRH’ titles.

However, the future king was livid to find out that Prince Harry and Meghan are planning to use Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet for their comeback.

A friend of William told The Daily Beast that the Prince of Wales is not going to hire his US-based niece and nephew to be working royals.

“The idea that somehow having a vestigial HRH as a baby later entitles you to be a working royal is beyond parody, even for them,” the pal said. “Harry and Meghan were asked by the queen to stop using their HRHs, and agreed. Obviously, any reasonable person would understand that would mean your kids don’t use them either.”

They noted that the Meghan using her HRH is a “straightforward betrayal’ of their previous deal and if she “intends to start parading the kids as HRHs to aggrandise herself, it just adds to the case to remove them, legally, altogether”.

Another friend explained that a HRH is often referred to as a title, but it’s “actually technically a ‘style,’ i.e., a way of addressing someone. It’s a courtesy”.

They added, “It denotes no official role and it bestows no formal rank in the British system, in the way being a duke or duchess does.”

The second friend shared that is an HRH can be bestowed it can also be taken away by royal decree.

“Look at Diana and Fergie. The HRHs weren’t removed ‘because they got divorced,’ the rules were quietly changed to remove HRHs from royal exes. There is a difference.”

About William’s plans to change the rules surrounding the titles the pal suggested that it would be a “part of a wider tidying up exercise to reduce, more broadly, the number of HRHs in circulation”.

They continued, “He could, for example, say that only working royals are entitled to use HRH, which seems sensible if you are trying to modernize, or specify that only children of the monarch are HRH, not the grandchildren, which would have the added advantage of making things clearer for their own kids’ families in due course.”
