As the impending coronation of King Charles draws near, speculation continues to swirl around whether young royals Archie and Lilibet will make an appearance. The recent bestowment of Prince and Princess titles upon them, following Queen Elizabeth’s passing, has ignited intrigue within royal circles. Meghan and Harry, known for fiercely guarding their children’s privacy, had hitherto shielded Archie and Lilibet from public attention. However, the decision to accept these titles has ignited discussions on potential repercussions.
Royal analyst Angela Levin raises concerns that the titles might cast an unfavorable shadow on the children’s futures. Levin argues that these titles could inadvertently burden Archie and Lilibet, tethering them to a royal lineage they’ve publicly scrutinized. This contrast between their family’s critiques and their newfound titles has prompted speculation about financial gains for Harry and Meghan.
In certain quarters, the alteration of titles has been viewed as strategic branding tactics. The timing of these announcements, as suggested by palace insider Richard Eden, has even led to speculation about potential motivations, including perceived tensions between Charles, Camilla, and Harry and Meghan.
Despite hopes that the coronation might offer an avenue for reconciliation, the dynamics within the royal family remain strained. The prospect of Archie and Lilibet’s attendance at the event remains uncertain, notwithstanding their reported invitations. Sources indicate that Meghan’s reluctance to attend stems from her conviction that Charles played a role in their controversial departure from royal duties.
The question of whether they will grace the coronation ceremony and the level of recognition Archie’s birthday might receive in that context remain intriguing unknowns.
