The 40-year-old royal and his spouse Meghan Markle, 43, are understood to have waited almost six months for British passports to be issued for his or her two youngsters, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4.
In response to a supply near the couple, they feared the functions had been intentionally delayed by King Charles, 76, because of ongoing tensions over the usage of their youngsters’s royal titles.
The functions had been submitted below the surname Sussex – a shift from the youngsters’s earlier authorized identify, Mountbatten-Windsor.
Our supply mentioned: “There was apparent hesitation round granting the children their passports. Charles was against Archie and Lili having the titles – particularly the HR– and the British passports would successfully function the primary, and doubtlessly solely, authorized recognition of these names.”
Harry and Meghan agreed to not use their HRH titles following their determination to step again from royal duties in 2020.
Nonetheless, as grandchildren of the monarch, Archie and Lilibet are entitled to the model of His and Her Royal Highness below royal protocol.
