View StoryWhen Queen Elizabeth died in September and Harry's father King Charles inherited the throne, Lilibet and Archie, 3, were given the titles of Princess and Prince. Under a rule established by King George V in 1917, Meghan and Harry's children were not afforded royal titles as the great-grandchildren of the former sovereign.
Titles were only extended to the grandchildren of the sovereign though exceptions were only made to the eldest living son of the Prince of Wales. Thus Prince William and Kate Middleton's three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis were given their titles upon their birth.
While Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet's new titles have yet to be reflected on the royal family's official website, they were listed as "Master Archie Mountbatten-Windsor" and "Miss Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor."
