Turns out they wanted the status titles all along, just not the 'life of service.
There's class. And if you have none, you might be Meghan and Harry.
The "non-working" royals, as the matter is delicately put, are in a snit these days because now that the queen is dead, they didn't get the spoils they thought they were entitled to:
According to the New York Post:
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s kids will not be given His and Her Royal Highness titles — leaving the exiled couple once again “furious” at the royal family over the snub, according to a report.
Harry’s dad, the new King Charles III, has agreed to soon bestow the titles of prince and princess on his California-based grandkids, Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1, according to the Sun.
But after a week of tense negotiations, he has refused to allow them to be known as HRH, titles that were stripped from their podcasting parents after they abandoned the family and the UK in 2020.
“That is the agreement — they can be prince and princess but not HRH because they are not working royals,” one insider told the UK paper.
The decision follows “a lot of talks over the past week” since Harry’s dad became king the moment his 96-year-old mother died last Thursday.
“They have been relentless since the Queen died,” the insider said of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, saying they “have been insistent that Archie and Lilibet are prince and princess.”
So what are we reading here? That they want the titles and status of royalty, nice high royalty, not some Ruritanian eurochicken title from some long gone dynasty, but don't want to put the work in of being royalty.

RACISS!
When I stops thinking with his hind brain he’s gonna divorce her, you’ll see.
When HE stops.....
I think if Chuck really follows through on the royal pink slips, a lot of spice will be bailing out. Starting with Andrew’s sons-in-law.
QEII came off really well in that movie. It was a love letter to Swinging 60's England.
Yeah, it’s ridiculous, and few would consider it real “work,” but apparently it involves showing up to dedicate a new hospital wing in Leeds, christening an odd naval vessel, that sort of thing.
Ruritainian euro chicken ?
I have a relative who has life-size bride and bridegroom skeletons on her porch every October. (She’s the one we don’t let out often...)
I don’t follow English royalty, always thought Harry was not Charles’ son, but adopted or from an earlier marriage.
What exactly is the difference if his kids are “royal” or plain? Is royal with nuts and sprinkles?
I guess everybody had to make a living...
Nobody’s perfect.
British version of the AKC (for humans).
I’m not much of a follower of the royal family, but weren’t Harry and Meghan the ones that spent the last few years romping around the world basically trashing their family and not wanting any kind of active role representing them?
Lots of worthwhile charities. The ones who do work actually work very hard - at a life that must often feel like a boring treadmill.
Anyone giving a platform to what these two spoiled nit wit whiners have to say or want is contributing to the intellectual decline of the still-sane Western world.
Correct. And come back for funerals, pageantry, and photo-ops.
“What’s it mean anyway? Maybe they work at being royal.”
According to the Metro UK...
“In representing the King, a working royal will often perform any duties as needed including:
Meeting with international dignitaries
Hosting official state dinners and other events
Attending parliamentary and constitutional functions
Handing out honours
Carrying out international trips and tours
Opening buildings”
