Archie was not given the title of prince at birth because of an existing protocol. On Oprah Winfrey, Meghan Markle had suggested that this decision was influenced by her skin color.
Last March, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had given a shock interview to Oprah Winfrey. The Duchess of Sussex confided that her son, Archie, had not been given the rank of prince at birth because of a change in protocol. She also suggested that this decision was influenced by her son’s skin color. A new Discovery+ documentary, Harry and Meghan: Recollections may Vary, says this story is more complex than it appears.
In an interview with CBS in March, the former actress confides that she is not attached to official titles. Only, not having a title means for Archie that he will not have his own security service if he is not a prince. The Duchess of Sussex stresses that she and the Duke of Sussex had no control over this decision.
The convention of King George V
The son of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, was not entitled to be a prince at birth according to a protocol that has been in place for over a century. It was King George V who issued the order in 1917. Clearly, the order states that only the royal child in the direct line of succession has the right to be named a prince and receive the title HRH.
According to these rules, only Prince William and Kate Middleton’s eldest son, Prince George, was initially entitled to hold the title of prince. The reason being that he is the great grandson of the monarch in direct line of succession to the throne. It was the Queen who intervened before George’s birth in 2013 so that his siblings could have the same title as him. Still according to these rules, Archie will have the right to be an HRH once Prince Charles accedes to the throne.
No her point was they were planning on changing the george convention for archie when his grandfather becomes king for whatever reason i don’t know could be the whole slimmed down monarchy thing or whatever but the conversations were about the convention being changed it was edited out of the original interview but a clip later released. I don’t know if they’re still plannjng to do it but seeing as they wanted to change it they surely wouldn’t change the convention now when his grandfather becomes king unless they use the argument of his parents stepped back but if not and they chamge it without giving reason like they did to his mother the conclusions would be the same as his mother’s that perhaps it is race related even if i doubt so because he is not being titled like other grandchildren even if those the queen intervened for but only she and her advisors know why she did not intervene for Archie perhaps the slimmed down monarchy Charles ideas are true.
