The Royal Family website has been updated to reflect the royal titles of Harry and Meghan’s children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
The children have had their titles updated on the line of succession on the Royal Family’s website, where they remain in 6th and 7th position.
Glamsquad reported earlier that the children had been referred to as plain ‘master’ and ‘miss’ Mountbatten-Windsor on the Buckingham Palace website. But now they are ‘Prince Archie of Sussex’ and ‘Princess Lilibet of Sussex’.
The new development comes after their parents declared that it is Archie and Lilibet’s ‘birthright’ to be called prince and princess in a statement defending their decision to use the titles.
The Duke and Duchess also insisted that the matter had been ‘settled for some time’ with King Charles – despite only being revealed by the couple on Wednesday. Read here

A spokesman for Harry and Meghan said: ‘The children’s titles have been a birthright since their grandfather became monarch. This matter has been settled for some time in alignment with Buckingham Palace.’
Lilibet, 21-month-old’s title add ‘princess used formally for the first time when her parents told the world she had been christened in California without king Charles III, his step wife, Camilla, Harry’s brother William, and Kate his wife present
Meanwhile, sources close to the Sussexes had suggested they were frustrated that Buckingham Palace failed to immediately recognise Archie and Lilibet’s titles after the Queen’s death six months ago.
The Prince and Princess of Wales, and their three children, had their titles swiftly changed when Charles acceded to the throne in September.
But Archie and Lili’s were not changed until around 24 hours after the baptism announcement on Wednesday.
Buckingham Palace sources claimed that they were waiting for Harry and Meghan to make a final decision.
