Lilibet, one, and her older brother Archie, three, weren’t given HRH titles at birth due to their position in the line of succession.
Harry and Meghan are understood to be keen to not deny their children, both Lilibet and Archie, their birthright, but to allow them the chance to decide for themselves when older whether to drop or keep using the titles.
When Archie and Lilibet were born, they were great-grandchildren of the Monarch, which meant they were eligible for HRH titles.
It was the same situation for Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, however, the Queen stepped in to change the rules. Prince George needs to be an HRH as he will one day be king.
However, as Harry is less senior than his brother, it didn’t apply to his children.
When Charles became King in September last year, Archie and Lilibet became the grandchildren of a Monarch which changed their roles.
Buckingham Palace said the royal website “will now be updated in due course” to reflect the titles.
King Charles was reportedly undecided over whether his two youngest grandchildren can use their titles of prince and princess and their HRH stylings.
His Highness reportedly waited until after the release of Prince Harry’s autobiography ‘Spare’ in January before deciding on his grandchildren’s royal titles.
