The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's recent interview with Oprah Winfrey caused widespread controversy across the UK, as Prince Harry and his wife, Megan Markle, revealed shocking facts while talking about their lives as members of the royal family.
In the interview, Megan revealed that she was told that her son, Archie, would not receive an official title as "Prince" or receive royal protection.
Here are the members of the royal family who hold the title of prince or princess:
The Queen's four children: Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward.
The Queen's grandchildren: Prince William, Prince Harry, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice.
Sons of Prince William (the future king): Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
The Queen's great-grandchildren, including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's son Archie, Princess Eugenie's son Auguste Brooksbank, and the children of Zara Tindall, all do not have the title "prince" or "princess."
Why doesn't Archie hold the royal title?
According to current royal guidelines, the Queen's great-grandchildren are not princes or princesses.
The tradition began during the reign of George V, when he issued the decree in 1917. Only Prince George, as the Queen's great-grandson, with a direct line of succession to the throne, was originally entitled to be a prince.
The Queen intervened before the birth of Prince George and issued a royal decree stating that all the children of Cambridge had the title Prince, and George and his sister Charlotte now hold the title Prince and Princess.
As for Archie - Prince Harry's son, who turns two in May, he has been awarded the honorary title "Earl of Dumbarton."
However, the couple announced after his birth that he was not given the title of honor, and that he would be known as Archie Mountbatten-Windsor.
Why do Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie have official titles?
Prince Andrew's daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie, are the Queen's two great-grandchildren by her second and favorite son, and have been granted the title of Princess from birth.
Why don't Prince Edward's children have official titles?
At Prince Edward's wedding with Sophie Reese Jones, a statement was issued announcing that the Queen had decided, with the consent of both Edward and Sophie, that their children would not be granted royal titles, but instead would be given the title of "Earl" (a title held by the gentry in the past) .
Will Archie get a royal title in the future?
It is possible that Prince Harry and Meghan's son will obtain a royal title later in life, when his grandfather Prince Charles becomes king, and in the event of the death of Queen Elizabeth, he will be automatically granted the title of "Prince" as the son of the king's son.
However, Meghan and Harry can also choose not to use the title that will be awarded to Archie after Charles becomes king.
