This week, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced that their daughter, Lilibet, had been baptized in a private ceremony in California.
The spokeswoman used the title “princess” for Lilibet when announcing the news. A royal insider confirmed to sources that the King Charles was informed of the action ahead of the announcement.
“The necessary discussions have taken place in advance of today’s news (of Lilibet’s christening).”
According to the couple’s spokesman, “I can confirm that Princess Lilibet Diana was christened on Friday, March 3rd, 2023, by the Archbishop of Los Angeles, the Rev. John Taylor.”
“On the death of the Queen, Harry’s children, Archie and Lilibet, automatically, as grandchildren of the sovereign, became HRH and Prince and Princess. So they’ve got that now, but they’ve not been updated on the royal website with their new titles. They are still master and miss,” she said.
She went on to say that William and Kate‘s new titles were “instantly updated” and that everything was discussed in person when they were present. She believed Harry would have said they were present in person. She opined that Harry would have said, “I’d like my children to be able to decide about their titles when they come of age; it’s not my decision to make for them. And we can only do that if we keep the titles.”

However, she added, “They have the titles now, but it’s up to King Charles whether he allows them to keep them or whether he issues letters patent to remove them, and that is still unresolved.”
