The British royal family is once again in turmoil, this time with the Duchess of Meghan Sussex taking the initiative to have one-on-one talks with King Charles in an effort to secure the title of His Royal Highness for her two children. Forty-one-year-old Meghan, married into the royal family for less than four years, has been in the midst of public attention and controversy. Her actions have sparked a lot of speculation and discussion, and at the same time raised doubts about the future direction of the royal family.
After a seventeen-day stay in the UK, the Harrys hurried back to the United States, and the royal trip was clearly not pleasant. Meghan has become the target of public criticism, and her initiative seems to be to take the initiative in the royal family's power scheme. As a mother of two children, Meghan naturally wants to create a good environment for them to grow up, and the title of His Royal Highness has become her goal.
Meghan offered a one-on-one meeting with Charles after the state funeral, and there was speculation that the meeting might be related to Archie and Lily. This private negotiation has attracted widespread attention from foreign media, known as "Meghan asks to meet Charles III", sending many signals that people are waiting to see. The timing and details of the talks are unknown, but it is likely that they will be fought for the title of His Royal Highness for the children.
Meghan has returned to her mansion in Montecito, but when she shows up at London Heathrow, she shows her affection for Harry hand in hand, and seems unaffected by the unpleasant experience of the trip. Prince Harry has always been known for his favorite wife, and he defended the Duchess of Sussex everywhere during his time in the United Kingdom. Although nothing came out of this royal trip, Meghan took the initiative and sat down at the negotiating table in person, and she seemed to be confident in the matter of power schemes.
However, Charles III, although he is the monarch, faces Meghan, an eloquent opponent. The private talks are expected to be filled with verbal wars that underscore tensions in the relationship. Meghan thinks highly of herself and does not want to be dominated by the royal family, but she faces a huge contrast in reality.
After the death of Queen Elizabeth, Harry planned to take Meghan to the palace, but Charles opposed it. This led to a heated argument between the two, allowing Harry to miss the last chance to see the Queen. The incident left Harry deeply disappointed, believing that it was the royal family's negligence that allowed him to miss the farewell to the queen's grandmother.
Meghan also felt neglected because she couldn't go to the palace to see off the queen with the others. This may be the reason why Meghan took the initiative to talk to Charles, most likely to fight for the title of His Royal Highness for the children, after all, she did not give up the inheritance at the beginning, and now she has to work hard for it. According to the tradition of the British royal family, after Charles succeeded to the throne, Archie and Lily, as grandchildren, were eligible for the title of Royal Highness.
However, no concrete arrangements have been made officially, and everything remains to be decided by King Charles. Meghan's state seems contradictory, she left the royal family to give Archie a relatively quiet environment to grow up, and now that Charles has succeeded to the throne, she has run back to ask for the royal title. Royal expert Omid Skoby believes that Charles has completely abandoned the Harry family and will not give them any titles.
Despite the fact that Archie is the seventh heir, the possibility of succession is almost zero, and even receiving the title of His Highness will not help. Meghan's attitude seems to be quite contradictory, she and Harry have withdrawn from the royal family in a high-profile manner, but they have fought for the title of Royal Highness on their children, and frequently put pressure on King Charles. This behavior has raised a lot of questions and is difficult to understand.
The original supplementary agreement at Buckingham Palace clearly stated that the Duke of Sussex would no longer enjoy the title of Royal Highness and would be required to reimburse Frogmore Cottage for the renovation costs. Although Buckingham Palace will always be their home, they will be responsible for the security costs while living overseas. Meghan seems to be good at creating topics, and even her daughter's name "Lily" has been made eye-catching, echoing Queen Elizabeth's nickname.
Royal expert Craig Prescott believes that there is still room for things to turn around, and everything may be up in the balance, depending on King Charles's whim. Although the British royal family has a long tradition, the monarch also has the right to change the rules. Some sources have revealed that Charles has changed his mind and is willing to give the title to two grandchildren.
However, this seems to have been achieved only if Meghan and Harry stop breaking the news and become a husband and wife. And Meghan has always shown a refined and self-interested side, wanting to enjoy power and have power at the same time, and seek more royal halo for her children. This plot of power is incredible, and whether the Meghan couple can get their wish may depend on King Charles' final decision.
