Prince Harry, Meghan Markle’s First Child Could Become A Working Royal

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will welcome their first child in the spring.

Ahead of the baby’s arrival, royal fans are wondering whether or not the baby will become a working royal when it gets older. Liam Doyle, a journalist for Express, said that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s baby will be seventh in line to the throne when it arrives.

The baby’s position in the line of succession makes it one of the core members of the royal family. This means that Prince Harry and Markle will most likely encourage their child to conduct official royal tasks.

However, it is important to note that current seventh in line to the throne, Prince Andrew, is less of a working royal compared to his older siblings, Prince Charles, and Princess Anne. But Prince Andrew still represents the royal family on multiple engagements.

Prince Harry and Markle’s child will, therefore, grow up with the ability to choose its own path. But the baby’s parents’ influence will be an important factor in making the important decision. The Duke of Sussex, who is currently sixth in line to the throne of succession, grew up for the most part of his life as the third in line to the throne.

He is involved in a slew of charity work, and he is also the patron of various organizations. Prince Harry also took up a role in the Army just like the other members of the royal family. His wife, Markle, was not born a royal. But since Prince Harry is a member of the British clan, she has been working on behalf of the royal family since they got married.

Most recently, Queen Elizabeth II passed on two patronages to the “Suits” alum. She will now be heading The National Theater and the Association of Commonwealth Universities. Markle has also taken on two other charities of her choice, Smart Works and Mayhew.

“The Duchess is delighted to become the patron of both national and grassroots organizations that are part of the fabric of the UK, and is very much looking forward to working with them to bring wider public attention to their causes,” a statement read.
