Following the death of the Queen, Harry and Meghan's children have become His Royal Highness Prince Archie of Sussex and Her Royal Highness Princess Lilibet of Sussex.
The change is a result of conventions created over a century ago. Under rules set out by George V in 1917, the grandchildren of the monarch automatically receive royal titles.
Meghan last year made a damning suggestion that this title might be denied to Archie because of his mixed-race ancestry. In an interview with broadcaster Oprah Winfrey, the Duchess of Sussex said a member of the royal family had expressed"concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he was born."
The duchess said these comments were made at the same time as the couple were told Archie wouldn't have security or an official title. She said there had also been"conversations" while she was pregnant about the convention being changed once Charles became King, meaning Archie would lose his right to a title.
Buckingham Palace told CNN at the time of Archie's birth in 2019 that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had chosen not to use any title at all for their son.
