Charles III is the current king of the United Kingdom, and when his reign ends, Prince William is expected to become king, with Prince George eventually following him. But what would that mean for Prince Harry, Meghan, and their children, Archie and Lilibet?

When Elizabeth was Queen, she conferred titles on many people after their marriage, including Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan, who were given the then-available titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

For this reason, Prince William, even if he becomes king, would not be able to deprive Prince Harry of the Duchy of Sussex.

However, if William becomes king, he could permanently sever Harry's relationship with the British royals.

As William's children grew up, Harry and Meghan had children of their own and Harry slowly faded into obscurity as an outsider to the royal family.

According to People, Prince Harry was stripped of the title "His Royal Highness" (HRH) in August 2023, losing much of his influence.

He is also no longer allowed to wear his military uniform on official occasions - something that was very important to him as he had served in the military for ten years.

At the moment, Harry and Meghan's children Archie and Lilibet are Prince and Princess - but it is not 100 percent guaranteed that they will be allowed to keep these titles. This is because in the British monarchy, the titles of prince and princess are given to the monarch's offspring. Theoretically, Archie and Lilibet could be stripped of their titles, but in practice this is not expected.

William's children, on the other hand, will only be known as a prince or princess after his accession, but without an addition. They could earn a title, such as a dukedom, after they have married or another condition has been fulfilled.

In short, if the relationship between William and Harry is not restored after William becomes King, Harry would probably distance himself even further from the royal family. However, the prince himself would not be affected in any way - certainly a relief for him.
Charles III is the current ruler of the United Kingdom following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. If Charles dies or abdicates the throne for any reason, William will become King and his title will pass to Prince George when he is old enough.
Prince Harry is the Duke of Sussex, he has two children, Archie and Lilibet with his wife Duchess Meghan. Would anything change for the family?
