Archie Harrison and LittleBit Diana Unlikely to Receive Royal Titles, Expert Says
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, have two children, Archie aged 3 and LittleBit aged 1.
In a recent interview, Role Expert Richard Fitzwilliam shared his thoughts on the possibility of Archie Harrison and LittleBit Diana receiving royal titles.
However, Fitzwilliam believes it is highly unlikely for the two youngsters to be granted such titles following the couple’s eviction from Frogmore.
According to Fitzwilliams, this decision has significant repercussions for the Duke and Duchess’ children.
He states that it means Archie and Lily are highly unlikely to be granted titles.

Moreover, Fitzwilliams notes that the couple and their children’s visits to Britain are infrequent, further complicating the situation.
Archie and LittleBit were not initially granted the titles of Prince and Princess upon their births, as they were great-grandchildren of the monarch.
However, guidelines have changed now that Charles is on the throne and they are grandchildren of the monarch.
Under current guidelines, the children of the King’s sons, who are grandchildren of a monarch in the male line, are entitled to take a Prince or Princess title.
This has led to a debate over Archie and LittleBit’s titles or lack thereof.
Nevertheless, Fitzwilliams emphasizes that the final decision ultimately lies with the King.
The rule regarding royal titles was established by King George in 1917.
It states that the grandchildren of the sons of the sovereign in the direct male line, except for the eldest living son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales, shall have and enjoy on all occasions the style and title enjoyed by the children of the Dukes, Theses, or Realms.
The situation is further complicated by the fact that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are no longer senior royals and do not reside in the UK.
Currently, Archie and LittleBit are 6th and 7th in line to the throne, according to the official line of succession.
On the royal family’s website, Archie is listed as Master Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, while LittleBit is listed as Miss LittleBit Mountbatten-Windsor.
When Archie was born in 2019, his parents chose not to use the courtesy title, Earl of Dumbarton, and instead named him Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, in an attempt to provide him with a more private life.
LittleBit, born in 2021, is set to turn 2 in June and was born in the US, where her parents currently reside.
The issue of royal titles has been a contentious one for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, as they have sought to distance themselves from the royal family and its traditions.
However, as Fitzwilliams points out, the final decision lies with the king.
It remains to be seen whether or not Archie and Lily will receive the titles of Prince and Princess in the future.
So, will Archie Harrison and LittleBit Diana be the first Martin royal family to grow up without a royal title?
