Prince Harry’s children face new questions about their royal future as experts discuss title changes in Montecito and London

While most royal fans are familiar with the adorable antics of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, their California-based cousins, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, are living a very different royal story.

Growing up thousands of miles away from the traditional pomp and ceremony of London, Harry and Meghan’s children are carving out their own quiet lives in Montecito — but their future titles and status remain a topic of fascination.

A Royal Question Fans Can’t Stop Asking

With whispers of a possible reconciliation between Prince Harry and King Charles III making headlines, royal watchers are wondering what that might mean for the youngest members of the Sussex family.
One curious reader, Sandra, recently posed a burning question to the Palace Confidential newsletter team:

“When Prince William eventually becomes king, will Archie and Lilibet lose their royal titles since they’ll no longer be the grandchildren of the sovereign?”

Expert Insight from Buckingham Palace Sources

To get to the bottom of it, Palace Confidential’s royal editor Rebecca English went straight to her well-placed sources inside Buckingham Palace.

She also turned to respected royal biographer Robert Hardman for additional context.
Their insights shed light on the delicate question of royal hierarchy, succession, and how much of it truly matters for Harry and Meghan’s young family — especially given their life outside the royal fold.
