Why Prince Harry, Meghan Markle May Encourage Son To Pursue Private Career

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been trying to give their son, Archie, normal life as possible.

After he was born on May 6, it was announced that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have decided to not give him a royal title. Unlike his cousins who are called Princes and Princess, Archie will just be called using his first name.

Prior to his christening on July 6, it was also announced that Archie’s godparents will not be revealed. His christening was also regarded as a private affair because only one photographer was allowed to join the ceremony.

Since Archie is living a more private life compared to his older cousins, this suggests that his parents are channeling Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips over Prince William.

Princess Anne’s children don’t have royal titles, they are not considered to be working royals, and their careers are also private and independent from their roots as members of the royal family.

While speaking with Express, royal protocol expert Eliot Wilson said that it wouldn’t be surprising to know that Prince Harry and Markle would want the same thing for their son when he gets older.

“I would not be at all surprised if they chose the model of Princess Anne’s and Princess Margaret’s children, all of whom have independent careers rather than those of the Duke of York, whose daughters occupy a rather comfortable no-man’s-land between being working royals and private individuals, with (one assumes) considerable financial support from the Duke of York himself,” he said.

Wilson went on to say that the lack of the HRH title is no longer a factor in determining if Archie will be a working royal or not. The decision will entirely be up to him when the time comes.

“Princess Anne’s children could have had titles if the Queen had made special arrangements but Anne chose not to; the Earl of Wessex’s children have titles but are not HRH,” he said.
