When King Charles ascended to the throne, several titles were modified, including those of Archie and Lilibet, the children of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Since King Charles took over the throne after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022, there have been several alterations made to royal titles.

The day following his coronation, Prince William and Kate were named as the Prince and Princess of Wales. Six months later, it was announced that the children of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle would be known as Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet of Sussex.

This information followed the Sussexes' confirmation of Lilibet's christening, noting that their children can use certain titles as they are the king's grandchildren, in accordance with King George V's 1917 Letters Patent. A few days later, on his 59th birthday on March 10, Prince Edward and Sophie were announced to be receiving the Dukedom of Edinburgh title, which holds special meaning as it was previously held by the late Queen and Prince Philip following their marriage in 1947.

Buckingham Palace announced that Charles was happy to bestow this title upon his younger brother.

However, Ingrid Seward, an expert on the Royal family and the editor of Majesty Magazine, pointed out a significant distinction in the announcements. She emphasized the stark difference in how Harry and Meghan revealed their children's royal titles compared to how King Charles announced his brother's ennoblement, as reported by the Mirror.

Ingrid went on to say that King Charles made a formal declaration from Buckingham Palace, expressing his joy in bestowing the Dukedom of Edinburgh upon The Prince Edward. The announcement felt as grand as if it were displayed in a luxurious frame on the palace railings. In contrast, Harry and Meghan opted to have their spokesperson announce that their daughter Lilibet, when christened in Los Angeles, would be given the royal title of princess, while their son Archie would be referred to as Prince.

Ingrid found it noteworthy that Harry and Meghan took six months to reveal their children's new titles, suspecting they were waiting for Buckingham Palace to make the announcement first. She mentioned that the couple was actually allowed to use these titles after the passing of their great-grandmother but opted to disclose it only recently.

Harry and Meghan raised eyebrows last month when they unveiled their new website, sussex.com, leading to speculation about their ongoing use of their royal titles despite their criticisms of the monarchy.

The webpage is titled "The Official Site of Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex" and features a unique image dedicated to Meghan. It contains a wealth of details regarding Harry and Meghan's life, including their residence in California with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
