Although Dukes of Sussex renounced the British kingdom and caused a stir with controversial revelations in interviews, a documentary and Harry’s book, it is the king’s wish that all his grandchildren bear the title of prince, writes the Daily Mail.
The British media outlet adds that Buckingham has updated his website so that now brothers Archie and Lilibet appear sixth and seventh in the line of succession.

The Daily Mail reports that King Carlos III would have already informed his son Harry about this during a private conversation after the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II. If Meghan and Harry’s children were not considered princes, they would go down in history as the first descendants of “sovereigns” without that title.
“The children of any sovereign, and the children of the sovereign’s children, shall always have and enjoy the title of Royal Highness, with the title of prince or princess before their names or honorific titles,” reads a 1917 royal patent of King George V, grandmother of Elizabeth II. reviews the medium on his website.

The British press sees this decision as the first step towards a rapprochement between Carlos and his youngest children, who have repeatedly brought the British crown into trouble.
“Children’s titles have been acquired by birth since their grandfather became monarch. This matter has been resolved for some time in agreement with Buckingham Palace,” said a source close to the Sussexes.
It remains unclear whether Meghan’s children will receive Royal Highness treatment, something the Sussexes lost with their resignation, but they could use the title of prince in formal settings.
