Royal Family News: Meghan Markle Flat Out Rejected This “DUMB” Title For Archie

British royal family news shows that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry complained to Oprah Winfrey that their son was excluded from a royal title, hence their justified anger at the entire family apparently. And justification for throwing the fam under the bus to a nationwide audience. And yet that is not the complete story.

According to a new bombshell book about the Duke and Duchess of Excess, little Archie was offered a title. But his parents rejected it out of hand for a, there is no other way to put it, a DUMB reason.

Royal Family News – The Markle’s Were Offered A Title

In the book Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors, the author states that, “Just after the birth, Thomas Woodcock, the Garter at Arms, called to discuss Archie’s title.”

What would Archie Mountbatten-Windsor have been called? He apparently would have received the title Earl of Dumbarton. But his thirsty and mindboggling parents rejected the respected title, “they reportedly weren’t huge fans of the idea.”

That sounds like a perfectly good title so why wasn’t it good enough for the Markle’s?

Royal Family News – Meghan Rejected A Perfectly Good Title

A source told The Telegraph: “They didn’t like the idea of Archie being called the Earl of Dumbarton because it began with the word ‘dumb’ [and] they were worried about how that might look.” Actually, it would look fine, it is you, Harry and Meghan, who look dumb based on the cockamamy ideas your noodles come up with.

Author Tom Bower has spilled the tea about how Meghan reacted when offered a title for her son, one she rejected, than whined to Oprah that her son has no title and it’s all the mean in-laws’ fault.

Bower wrote, “Her son, explained Woodcock, would automatically inherit the title Lord Dumbarton, since Harry, on marrying Meghan, was made Earl of Dumbarton. Meghan had also automatically become the Countess of Dumbarton. ‘Hell no,’ exclaimed Meghan. ‘No son of mine is going to be called Dumb.’” If true, that is Meghan keeping it classy and ignorant all at the same time, who says she has no talent?

Royal Family News – Meghan Did Not Want This Title

And in contrast to that she has said, “Meghan also apparently preferred Archie to be known by his name, rather than by a title.”

Bower writes, “With Harry’s agreement, the Palace also disclosed that the Sussexes had decided that Archie should not be a prince. The couple, said Sara Latham [a publicist for the Sussexes at the time], did not want to be bound by convention or history. Meghan wanted her son to be plain ‘Mister Archie’ and not bear the title of a royal. They wanted to protect Archie’s privacy. The Sussexes knew that, under British law, Archie would automatically become a prince after the Queen died unless Charles changed the rules.”

    Unfortunately the Duke and Duchess of Sussex (NOT “EXCESS” ) are at your horrendous, rude, and at your unmannered disposal.
    I keep reading articles about all of the Royals including non-working. You as a reporter shouldn’t be fanning discontent, anger, disrespect, hurt, and disloyalty. They have enough going on in their working, and personal individual lives.
    Sooo, i suppose you as paparazzi or reporters or “Royal Reporters” are the problem. You have careers that you should be proud of. Not trying to destroy a family that is struggling to be “upstanding & family oriented”.
    No wonder Princess Diana ended up dead.. all because of you folks who’s career is more important than anothers life.
    SHAME ON ALL OF YOU! EVEN IF YOU THINK YOU DIDN’T HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THAT… YOU DID.
    God forbid, Who will be the next of your victims? Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince George or Louis, or how bout Princess Charlotte? Or even worse… The Duke & Duchess of Sussex or their children?!
    Back the heck off of them.. Go trash someone who deserves it!!
    Like a mass shooting or something.. gossip raggs wow!!
    I’m so sorry for what the entire family goes through and is going through… You’re all Royals, not tabloid riff raff! Act like it, for the sake of others in your shadow.
