Meghan Markle Proves Chris Rock Right, Ensures Her Children With Prince Harry Get Their Royal Titles Despite Accusing The Royal Family of Racism
When it comes to royal titles, there are fixed rules which have been in use for giving titles to the members of a royal family. The British royals also work in the same way. So, when Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s children were conceived, they were provided the name of Master and Miss Mountbatten-Windsor. However, that was before King Charles became the monarch. Despite cutting ties with the royal family, the two children of the Sussex couple have been provided with new titles. They have officially become Prince and Princess. It seems the royal family is keeping the rules when it comes to the royal title.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Kids Get New Royal Titles
Although there is enough strain in the relationship between Prince Harry and his family, it is not enough to make the family completely ignore the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. So, despite the couple giving up their royal duties and revealing inside stories, their children, Archie and Lilibet have been given the title of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The titles have been updated recently on the official webpage of the British royal family. Following this, a spokesperson for the Sussexes shared with People,
“The children’s titles have been a birthright since their grandfather became monarch,”
This step follows the old precedent put forward by King George V. And it applies to anyone linked to the family.
Furthermore, all this comes after the drama that has been going on in the royal family. Not only that, but the Sussex couple have also released their Netflix docuseries in which they shared many opinions and thoughts against the family. Adding to that, Prince Harry’s memoir Spare also revealed a lot of personal and inside information to the public. Taking these into consideration, even Comedian Chris Rock made fun of the Duchess of Sussex in his stand-up show. As for now, it does not seem like Markle and Prince Harry have any issues with the new update.
What Did Chris Rock Say About Meghan Markle?
In his upcoming Netflix stand-up Selective Outrage, Chris Rock makes fun of many topics. Among them, he also made light of Meghan Markle and her racism issue. According to the comedian, Markle could have avoided facing racism by not connecting with the royal family. He joked about the British royals being the last people on earth to not be racist. Rock said the British royals were the ones who invented “racism”. But he said it all in the name of humor. Rock also joked about hate-watching Emancipation.
