As reported by The Sunday Times, there was reportedly “bemusement in royal circles” after Harry’s reported claim.
Reported in June, on Prince William’s 43rd birthday, sources said: “Under the next reign, roles for Archie and Lili as working royals are unlikely.”
According to i Paper, royal expert Richard Palmer said: “If Prince Harry and Meghan had stayed, they would have had a prominent role, but the chances of their children representing the British monarchy in the future are said to be negligible, and probably would have been even if their parents had remained.”
William, who is next in line to the throne, is said to have a desire to slim down the monarchy when he becomes King – taking inspiration from other European Firms.
It has been suggested that even William’s two youngest children – Princess Charlotte, 10, and seven-year-old Prince Louis – may not act as full-time working royals.
Archie was born in London in 2019 and, unlike her brother, Lilibet was born in California on June 4, 2021.
The family-of-four currently reside in Monetcito, California.
