King Charles will reportedly wait until after Prince Harry has released his forthcoming memoir, titled Spare, to make a decision on whether the Duke’s two children will inherit royal titles. There has been much debate over whether Archie, aged three and Lilibet, one, will receive Prince and Princess titles and HRH stylings in light of their parents’ step down as senior working royals. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex recently returned to the media spotlight with a shocking Netflix docu-series which shared renewed allegations of their mistreatment within the British monarchy.

The Sunday Times has suggested the King will not make a formal decision on his grandchildren’s royal titles until after Prince Harry’s memoir is published on January 10.

A royal source told the publications: “Let’s wait and see, no final decisions have been made.”

The paper has also reported that the King intends to invite the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to his coronation ceremony in May next year, despite the damning revelations aired in the Netflix docu-series.

Buckingham Palace did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Express.co.uk.

Royal protocol established under King George V dictates that the children and grandchildren of the monarch are automatically entitled to the HRH styling and Prince or Princess titles.

The death of Queen Elizabeth II in September saw King Charles take the throne, meaning all his grandchildren, including Archie and Lilibet, have a right to new royal titles.

Royal commentators have speculated that King Charles hopes to slim down the monarchy in a bid to modernise the image of the Royal Family.

If the King does decide against awarding Archie and Lilibet their royal titles, the monarch will have to submit a Letters of Patent to alter the established protocol.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have previously indicated they considered the importance of their children receiving royal titles in relation to their security provision.

In her 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan was asked if Archie being called a Prince was “important”. The Duchess replied: “If it meant he was going to be safe, then, of course.”

She added that she had considered the impact of “the first member of colour in this family not being titled in the same way that other grandchildren would be.”

The Duke’s memoir Spare will be published worldwide in 16 different languages on January 10.

Publisher Penguin Random House has described the book as a “landmark publication” packed full of “raw, unflinching honesty”.

A website established to promote the memoir has suggested the contents will focus on “the eternal power of love over grief,” with the death of Prince Harry’s mother, Princess Diana, tipped to be a central theme.

Prince Harry has said: “I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to share what I’ve learned over the course of my life so far and excited for people to read a firsthand account of my life that’s accurate and wholly truthful.”
