Prince Archie and Lilibet: No Royal Roles Despite HRH Titles
ROYAL FAMILY DRAMA: HARRY AND MEGHAN'S KIDS NOT GETTING ROYAL ROLES, WILLIAM CUTS BROTHER OFF
In a shocking revelation, sources close to the royal family have spilled the tea that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's children, Archie and Lilibet, won't be getting official roles when their uncle William becomes King. The news has sent shockwaves through the palace, with insiders claiming that the Sussexes' children will not be part of the royal family's working ranks.
The six-year-old Archie and four-year-old Lilibet currently live with their parents in Montecito, California, but it seems they'll never get to experience life as full-fledged royals. According to The Times, "roles for Archie and Lili as working royals are unlikely" under William's reign.
This news comes on the heels of a report that claimed Harry wanted his children to retain their HRH titles so they could become working royals if they chose to do so when they grow up. However, it seems this plan has been met with "bemusement in royal circles," and William is having none of it.
The rift between the two brothers is well-documented, with Harry's memoir Spare leveling accusations against his family, including claims that William called Meghan "difficult," "rude," and "abrasive." The tension between the brothers has been building for years, and it seems they've finally reached a breaking point.
Meanwhile, sources close to William have revealed that he no longer cares what Harry says about the royal family in public. "It used to be that the family stuff was taking up a lot of space in his head," an insider told The Times. "But he's not letting it get to him at all anymore. It is a change. It's sad, but it's a much healthier space for him to be at."
The brothers' relationship has been strained since Harry and Meghan left the UK for the US and abandoned their royal duties. They've barely spoken to each other in public, with the last time they were seen together being at the funeral of their uncle Robert Fellowes.
But it's not just the brothers who are at odds - there's also tension between William and his wife Kate, who is currently battling cancer. Sources claim that Harry and Meghan only learned about Kate's condition when the news broke publicly, and that they didn't even contact her or William privately to offer support.
This revelation has sparked outrage among fans of the royal family, with many accusing Harry and Meghan of being insensitive and uncaring. But it seems they're not letting it get to them - in fact, they've been using their platform to speak out against the palace and its treatment of them.
In a bombshell interview with BBC, Harry revealed that his father, King Charles, won't even speak to him due to disagreements over security arrangements. "Life is precious," he said. "I don't know how much longer my father has, he won't speak to me because of this security stuff. It would be nice to reconcile."
It's clear that the royal family drama is far from over - and it seems we'll have to wait and see what happens next.
BIRTHDAY BLUES: WILLIAM CELEBRATES 43RD BIRTHDAY WITHOUT HARRY
Meanwhile, Prince William celebrated his 43rd birthday on Saturday with tributes from his father and wife Kate Middleton. But amidst all the well-wishes, there was no sign of Harry or Meghan - a stark reminder of their estrangement.
The Prince of Wales marked his special day with a relaxed photo shoot in the countryside, surrounded by dogs and looking every inch the laid-back royal. His caption read: "Happy Birthday to The Prince of Wales!"
Kate Middleton also shared a sweet snap of William playing with puppies, accompanied by a heartfelt message from her and their children George, Charlotte, and Louis.
But amidst all the celebration, it's hard not to notice the elephant in the room - the rift between Harry and William. It's clear that things are far from resolved between the two brothers, and it will be interesting to see how they navigate their complicated relationships going forward.
MEGHAN'S HRH CONTROVERSY: WHY THE ROYAL FAMILY IS UP IN ARMS
Meghan Markle has been making headlines for weeks over her use of the title "HRH," which she claims is hers to keep as a member of the royal family. But insiders claim that Harry and Meghan's agreement with Queen Elizabeth II was that they would stop using the title after leaving their royal duties.
The couple's decision to retain their HRH titles has sparked controversy, with some accusing them of flouting the Megxit deal. And it seems things are about to get even more complicated - sources close to the palace have revealed that William is not happy about his brother and sister-in-law's use of the title.
But Meghan has been defending her right to use HRH, claiming that she will continue to do so as long as she wants. "I don't see why I should give up my title," she said in a recent interview. And it seems she may be getting some support from within the palace - sources close to King Charles have revealed that he's not opposed to Meghan using HRH, and is willing to let her keep her title.
It's clear that this controversy is far from over, and we'll be keeping an eye on how things develop in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for more updates!
