Prince Harry Reveals This Royal Family Issue Held Up His Children’s Passports

Everyday brings new and hotter royal drama. The latest is that the Palace reportedly delayed Archie and Lilibet’s passport issuance over the issue of HRH.

According to reports, Harry and Meghan had to wait six months for their children’s passports to be issued, and they have a pretty good idea why.

Prince Harry Insider Reveals That King Charles Didn’t Originally Want Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet To Carry HRH Titles

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may have left the Royal Family behind, and they may claim that titles mean so little to them, but apparently they’re in for all they can get.

According to an insider close to the Sussex couple, the Sussex kids passports were delayed as a result of King Charles’ reluctance to grant the children HRH titles. In the application, Harry had filed their family name as Sussex, whereas it was formerly Mountbatten-Windsor.

“There was clear reluctance to issue passports for the kids,” the insider said. This was because Charles, 76, didn’t want “Archie and Lili to carry the titles, most of all the HRH, and the British passports, once created, would be the first and perhaps the only legal proof of their names.”

Tying the story to the previous report that Harry had gone to his uncle Earl Spencer for advise on changing the family name to Spencer, the source continued that the passport issue was what caused the Duke, 40, to reach out to his uncle in “sheer exasperation.”

When the New York Post reached out to the Duke, his spokesperson responded, “We do not comment on private issues pertaining to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s children.”

Despite this, The Post confirmed that Harry’s meeting with Earl Spencer did happen, even though the details are somewhat miscontrued. It is said that Earl Spencer never warned that the legal process would be too complex.

In the meantime, the Palace has denied having any hand in the delay of the children’s passport, though it was reportedly held 3 months overdue.
