OPINION'Who to believe? Meghan Markle or the family with the history of racism'
If the accusation is true, the monarchy is done.
If the Harkles are lying, they just took Smolletting to a whole new level...
The news story you linked is propaganda. Starts off with a lie & keeps on running.
Back in 1917, King George V restricted the number of family members who could rock a royal title, and naturally, he phrased it in the most complicated and annoying way possible:
“The grandchildren of the sons of any such Sovereign in the direct male line (save only the eldest living son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales) shall have and enjoy in all occasions the style and title enjoyed by the children of Dukes of these Our Realms.”
The titles of“prince” and“princess” are restricted to the children of the sovereign (e.g., Prince Charles, Prince Edward, and Princess Anne), the children of the sovereign’s sons (e.g., Prince Harry and Prince William), and the eldest son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales (e.g., Prince George). But since Prince Harry is the second son of Prince Charles, his kids are not guaranteed the title of“prince” or “princess.”
Princess Charlotte got to be called“princess” since she’s not“the eldest son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales.” because in 2013, Queen Elizabeth II issued a letters patent that removed the first-kid-only decree.
Queen Elizabeth can offer the title of prince to other children, rumor says she did offer Anne’s children the right to the title but Anne refused.
