Charles III, at the center of a bureaucratic conflict affecting Archie and Lilibet, the children of the Dukes of Sussex
The lives of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Harry and Meghan, continue to be marked by controversy, even in the most everyday aspects. Although they have left their roles within the royal family, the echoes of the British monarchy still influence their daily lives. An apparently simple matter has once again brought the delicate bond with royalty into the spotlight.
This time, the issue is directly related to Archie and Lilibet, Harry and Meghan's children. Some complications in document processing have sparked a new controversy. The tensions between the royal family and the Sussexes remain a hot topic, reflecting the difficulties they face even in administrative matters.
The delay in processing and royal titles
The process of obtaining British passports for Archie and Lilibet was extended for several months, causing confusion and frustration for Harry and Meghan. The children were recognized as prince and princess after Charles III's ascension to the throne, which involved the use of royal titles. The delays made Harry and Meghan suspect that these titles might have motivated the withholding of the documents.
"The British passports, once created, would be the first and perhaps the only legal proof of their titles," said a source close to the Sussexes, implying that the delay in issuing the documents was due to this fact. This situation sparked Harry's concern, who even considered the option of adopting his mother Diana's surname.
Buckingham Palace's response
Although sources close to Harry and Meghan point to the royal family as responsible for the delay, Buckingham Palace has denied any involvement in the matter. "The king has never agreed that the children use the style of 'His Royal Highness'," a source told The Guardian, suggesting a conflict over the titles.
Meanwhile, the British Home Office hasn't made any official comments, leaving the question about the background of the dispute open. Although the Sussexes keep their right to royal titles, their public use remains a sensitive issue. What is very clear, however, is that Lilibet and Archie are entitled to both American and British nationality due to their parents' nationality.
