Under the line of succession to the throne, the “Master” and “Miss” references have been replaced with “Prince Archie of Sussex” and “Princess Lilibet of Sussex” in the rundown at numbers six and seven, respectively, confirming the United States is home to the world's newest prince and princess.
Royal expert Christopher Andersen, author of The King: The Life of Charles III, tells Marie Claire exclusively that nothing will change in this regard: “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will retain their titles, as will Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet,” he says.
Legally, the monarch has no powers to remove a family member's royal titles - it would require an act of parliament to actually happen.
"King Charles will not strip royal titles away from Prince Harry as it would go against the gifts and wishes of the late Queen Elizabeth II," he notes. Since the title was a gift from Harry's grandmother, Charles wouldn't take it from him.
Do Prince Harry and Meghan Still Have Royal Titles? Yes. Prince Harry and Meghan are still the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, titles conferred by Queen Elizabeth on their 2018 wedding day.
Prince Harry and Meghan lost their ability to use their HRH titles in 2020 when the couple decided to take a step back from royal duties. Harry remained a Prince, and the couple kept their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles, but are no longer addressed as His/Her Royal Highness (HRH).
While they are no longer working members of the royal family, Prince Harry and the former Meghan Markle still hold the royal titles of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, which were bestowed upon them when they married in 2018.
The Duchess of Sussex, born Rachel Meghan Markle, married Prince Harry at St George's Chapel, Windsor in May 2018. The Duke and Duchess have two children, Prince Archie of Sussex and Princess Lilibet of Sussex.
First created in 1801, the title lapsed in 1843 but was revived when Queen Elizabeth II bestowed it on her grandson Prince Harry on 19 May 2018 just before his marriage to Meghan Markle, who then became the Duchess of Sussex.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's children have officially been named as prince and princess on the Royal Family's official website. It comes the day after Prince Harry and Meghan announced their daughter Lilibet had been christened and they used the title princess for the first time.
The monarch has no powers to remove titles and this would require an act of parliament.
The answer, it seems, can be summed up in three words: planning, parenting and regrouping. Parenting is part of the reason the Duchess decided not to come to the Coronation, friends have said, as it falls on the same day as Prince Archie's fourth birthday.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's son Prince Archie of Sussex as his officially awarded royal title suggests, inherited part of Queen Elizabeth's wealth.
Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet did not receive the titles when they were born because they were great-grandchildren of the monarch.
Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, KCVO (Henry Charles Albert David; born 15 September 1984) is a member of the British royal family. He is the younger son of King Charles III and Diana, Princess of Wales. He is fifth in the line of succession to the British throne.
King Charles III cannot revoke his son's entitlement to the throne, instead, an Act of Parliament would need to be passed to achieve this. The Crown Act 2013 was last updated 10 years ago to end male primogeniture and ensure that a younger son cannot displace an elder daughter in the line of succession.
In the event of Prince William's death occurring before King Charles's, Prince Harry would still not be the next choice for King, instead that honor would move on to Prince William's eldest son, Prince George.
Whereas (generally) the title of “Prince” requires royal blood, the title of “Duke” does not. While dukedoms can be inherited directly from a parent, they can also be bestowed by the reigning king or queen. Most British princes are given the title of “Duke” at the time of his marriage.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have an estimated net worth of $60 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. The couple has signed a series of lucrative deals including documentaries, books, podcasts and more, worth an estimated total of $135 million, according to Forbes.
Oprah has been a loyal friend and neighbor to the royal couple, following their relocation to Montecito, California in 2020.
Harry was born in 1984 when his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, was monarch and his father was heir apparent. His older brother, Prince William, was (and still is) behind their father. Harry became third in succession to Elizabeth's throne.
Created in 1337 by King Edward III, the estate is worth around £1 billion ($1.2 billion), according to its accounts for the last financial year. Revenue from the estate is “used to fund the public, private and charitable activities,” of the Duke of Cornwall, its website says.
Harry and Meghan made the choice to give up their His / Her Royal Highness (HRH) titles, meaning that they won't be referred to by their "Royal" names. This means that yes, Harry no longer wishes to be referred to as 'Prince'. Interestingly, however, the Duke of Sussex is still fifth in line for the throne.
Prince Harry and Meghan's children have officially taken on royal titles. Lilibet and her older brother, Archie, were listed as prince and princess on the royal family's website as of early Thursday.
