Buckingham Palace has finally leaked the brutal truth about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s children, Archie and Lilibet, in what insiders are calling a “panic move” from the couple. Despite years of contention over their royal titles and status, the palace has publicly acknowledged that Archie and Lilibet do hold the titles of prince and princess as a birthright ever since King Charles acceded to the throne in September 2022.

The public recognition came six months after the children technically inherited these titles, sparking confusion and ongoing debate as the Sussexes livestreamed their lives from California, far detached from traditional royal duties. Harry and Meghan waited to formally introduce these titles for their children publicly, perhaps hoping the palace would make the announcement first. However, Buckingham Palace deliberately left its official website unchanged for months, allowing the Sussex camp to control the timing and narrative.
Archie and Lilibet’s official listing as Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet of Sussex on the royal family’s website confirms their sixth and seventh place in the line of succession, respectively, following their father, Prince Harry.
This recognition contradicts earlier public claims and denials about the Sussex children’s royal status, fueling rumors and speculation often driven by media and palace insiders. Some sources assert that Meghan's strategic timing of title use was a deliberate effort to reaffirm their royal identity amidst familial rifts and ongoing public scrutiny.
Despite this official acknowledgment, sources close to Buckingham Palace continue to stress that Archie and Lilibet will not take on senior royal roles or duties. Their titles are honorary and do not include public responsibilities or privileges enjoyed by Prince William’s children.
The revelation has created a paradoxical situation where Archie and Lilibet are officially princes and princesses but remain distant from the core monarchy's inner workings. This “ghost children” status leaves the Sussex heirs in a unique, somewhat isolated position within the royal family.
