King Charles reportedly made a peace offering to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex prior to Lilibet’s christening, giving the pair the tick of approval for their kids to claim their royal titles.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex on Friday christened their daughter Lilibet with her “princess” title, it was revealed on Wednesday.
According to a Letters Patent issued by King George V in 1917, Archie and Lilibet had the right to the titles following the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September. But at the time of the Queen's death, rumours swirled Charles could move to change the protocols in favour of a tightened Royal Family and amid the palace’s rift with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
“Princess Lilibet was christened on Friday, March 3 by the bishop in the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles, the Rev John Taylor," the spokesperson told Archie was not given the prince title when he was born in 2019 as he is the great-grandchild of Queen Elizabeth II.
