King Charles Made a ‘Terrible Mistake’ With Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Children, Expert Claims
King Charles took the throne after his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, died in 2022. Charles and his family had been having problems leading up to that point, with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle leaving the family in 2020. Since the queen’s death, Harry and Meghan have not greatly improved their relationship with the other royals.
But when Charles became king, he made a decision regarding Harry and Meghan’s kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, that would change their lives forever.
King Charles made a ‘terrible mistake’ with Archie and Lili, according to one expert
When Harry and Meghan’s kids were born, Queen Elizabeth was still the reigning monarch. However, once she died, Charles had a decision to make: He could either give Harry and Meghan’s children royal titles or not. Ultimately, Charles decided that Archie and Lili were worthy of titles, and they’re now prince and princess, respectively. However, it’s no secret that Charles isn’t exactly close with his grandchildren, and one royal expert seems to think the titles were a “terrible mistake” for the royal family.
“Harry and Meghan have undermined the monarchy, and Charles has made a terrible mistake,” royal author Tom Bower told Express. “He should have cut them off straight away. He should never have allowed their children to be made a prince and princess.”
The assumption is that since Archie and Lili are prince and princess, Harry and Meghan will always be attached to the royal family regardless of the chaos and tension that ensues between the two sides of royalty. Of course, even if Harry and Meghan didn’t have kids, Harry would still be a prince, and the two of them would still be duke and duchess, so perhaps it’s doesn’t make any real difference.
Will Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet ever become working royals?
It’s unlikely that Archie and Lili will ever step into working royal roles, but it’s not completely impossible. They’re the grandchildren of the king, just like Prince William and Kate Middleton’s kids. And while they couldn’t be working royals until they’re 18 at the earliest, there is a small chance that the kids could grow close to their cousins — and that Prince George could eventually allow them to be working royals when he is king, if the monarchy were stretched too thin.
But the bottom line is that Archie and Lili will most likely never work for the royal family, although now that they’ve received those titles, they are entitled to them for life. At most, they could grow close with the family and play a role similar to that of William’s cousins, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.
