HERE’S WHY THE SUSSEX KIDS’ TITLES CHANGED

A spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has confirmed that their kids will now be called Prince and Princess. The source also confirmed Princess Lilibet’s recent christening.

“I can confirm that Princess Lilibet was christened on Friday, March 3, by the Archbishop of Los Angeles, the Rev John Taylor,” the source told People Magazine.

A royal source told The Mirror:

“As the Duke and Duchess have now confirmed this, the website will now be updated in due course.”

As the monarch’s grandchildren, Archie (3) and Lili (1) are now also entitled. According to People, the titles will only be used in a formal setting rather than for everyday use.

NOT EVERYONE HAS ROYAL TITLES

Unlike Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, as children of the eldest son, Prince William’s brood — Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis were all born with their titles.

In their interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan, and Harry discussed titles ahead of Archie’s birth, Elle reports.

“They were saying they didn’t want him to be a prince or princess, which would be different from protocol, and that he wasn’t going to receive security,” Meghan said.

“This went on for the last few months of our pregnancy where I was going, hold on for a second.”

The Duchess continued saying she would have accepted a title if it meant Archie would be kept safe, the publication reports.
