We have to see this week as monarchists pretend that royal titles are based upon "merit" and "popularity" and not birthright, primogeniture or proximity to the monarch. This is an archaic system based on bloodshed and theft, racism, and property. Because their grandfather was king last September, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet would always be prince and princess. Charles has made a lot of noise about changing the Letters Patent, and while he tried his best to exile and shun his mixed-race grandchildren as much as possible, he didn’t change jacksh-t. Since September, Archie and Lilibet had these titles. When updating the line of succession following QEII's passing, the palace attempted to be loose and didn't include Lili or Archie's titles. The palace made the changes to the line of succession titles for the children today at 9:30 GMT.
According to sources, the Daily Mail was told by "sources" that the Sussexes were frustrated that Buckingham Palace did not immediately recognize Archie and Lilibet’s titles six months after Queen Elizabeth's death. This is especially true considering that Prince William's children's titles have changed. Buckingham Palace claims they were waiting for Harry or Meghan to make a decision, but the palace and the Sussexes have been in contact for months over the titles of the children's names. According to royal sources, "Charles not blocking" it is a sign that he does not see the trouble Harry and Meghan have caused. Charles would not have 'punished his grandchildren that way." Charles certainly made it clear that he would, and that he wouldn't update the line of succession to reflect the titles of his grandchildren for months. This is not a win for Charles. The spokesperson for the Sussexes made another statement.
PEOPLE was told by a spokesperson for Duke and Duchess, that the children's titles were a birthright ever since their grandfather became monarch. "This matter was settled in accordance with Buckingham Palace.

Yes, again. The Sussexes claim that the palace knew for some time that the Sussexes had made a decision (again, it's not how things work). King Charles assumed an air punitive manipulation and said that he would remove the titles of the children to punish Harry for Spare. Charles made a negative story into another one.
