King Charles has reportedly devised a strategic move to thwart Meghan Markle’s plan to secure Royal titles for her children, Archie and Lilibet, once and for all. According to a royal insider, Charles is planning to overhaul the rules of succession to reserve Royal titles exclusively for the children of the reigning monarch and their direct heirs.
The insider, speaking to The Sun newspaper, revealed that Charles is steadfast in his commitment to preserving the monarchy’s traditions. He aims to prevent Archie and Lilibet, the offspring of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, from being eligible for the titles of prince and princess. Charles is concerned that Meghan and Harry might exploit the titles for their own agendas, using the children to further their personal interests.
Moreover, Charles is reportedly troubled by the financial burden of supporting Archie and Lilibet as working members of the royal family. He believes that resources should be directed towards the direct heirs to the throne instead. The proposed change to the rules of succession would necessitate parliamentary approval, but it is speculated that Charles has garnered support from the Prime Minister and other senior government figures.
The news of Charles’s plan has dealt a blow to Meghan and Harry, who have been advocating for their children to receive royal titles since stepping down from their royal duties in 2020. A spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex expressed their disappointment, stating that they firmly believe Archie and Lilibet should be entitled to royal titles, just like their cousins.
However, the royal insider emphasized that Charles is unmoved by Meghan and Harry’s objections. He underscored Charles’s determination to prioritize the monarchy’s interests and uphold a more traditional approach to succession, signaling a potential shift in the future landscape of the British royal family.
