Prince Harry is facing criticism from royal commentators regarding the HRH titles of his children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, amidst a reported dispute over their passports. The Duke of Sussex allegedly sought to alter his family name due to delays in passport issuance, which sources attribute to the HRH style. Buckingham Palace has denied any involvement in the passport delays.
Reports indicate that Harry and Meghan wish to retain Archie and Lilibet's titles, allowing them to decide their future use. However, a recent report in the Sunday Times, citing royal sources, suggests that under Prince William's reign, the children are unlikely to have roles as working royals.
Royal commentators have criticized Harry's desire to maintain the HRH titles, arguing that the children are unlikely to serve in an official capacity for the Royal Family. One expert stated that it is "utterly absurd" for Harry and Meghan to believe their children might become working royals, calling it "delusional." The expert emphasized that the children are being raised in America, far from the monarchy, with no exposure to royal customs and culture. Another expert echoed this sentiment, stating that Archie and Lilibet lack understanding of the British Royal Family.

It’s wise for Harry to think of his children’s future; they should decide how they want to handle their titles.

The royal titles are not trophies; they represent a commitment to the monarchy that Harry has walked away from.

Honestly, why shouldn’t Archie and Lilibet have their titles? They are part of the royal family.

Titles can serve as a connection to a rich history even if they are not involved in royal duties.

Let them keep the titles! It's their birthright regardless of where they live.
