There will be no announcement on any future titles for Harry and Meghan’s children during the period of royal mourning.
Following the death of their great-grandmother, Archie and Lilibet are sixth and seventh in line to the throne, and are entitled to be called prince and princess.
But Buckingham Palace has refused to confirm if this will officially happen.
And yesterday a spokesman for King Charles said it was ‘unlikely’ that any announcement would be made until at least September 26, when the period of royal mourning ends.
They told the Daily Mail: ‘The King is focused on the mourning period so it is unlikely [any announcement would be made] on other titles during that period.

‘The future is an amazing thing. I am sure that at some point there will be discussion, but not during the royal mourning period.’
The Sun newspaper claimed that ‘tense’ discussions had taken place over the issue.
