The Netflix documentary devoted to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had one objective: to lift the veil behind the scenes of the “Firm” (the encrypted name given to the British royal family) and its relationship with the couple.
The relentlessness of the tabloids, the "conscious biases" of the Windsors, their resounding departure from the monarchy... (Almost) nothing is overlooked.
But the show also gives the opportunity to see the little faces of Archie (3 years old) and Lilibet (1 year old), the two children so protected from the Sussexes.
And many have noted their striking resemblance to their father.

Against all expectations, Meghan and Harry did not hesitate to reveal intimate photos and videos of their couple, but also of their offspring, whom they usually prefer to leave away from the media.
In the first burst of episodes, online on Netflix since December 8, several snapshots of Archie, their eldest, were broadcast on the screen.
We see him as a baby, sometimes in his mother's arms, sometimes wearing a blue hat and sitting on his father's shoulders.

Archie and Lilibet, prince and princess... on one condition
Since the broadcast of the docu-series Meghan and Harry on Netflix, a question remains: will Archie and Lilibet become prince and princess, as planned?
After the death of Elizabeth II, which occurred on September 8, both must become prince and princess, under an edict from King George V, dated 1917. The decree stipulates that the monarch's grandchildren inherit this title, as the first claimant to the throne inherits that of Prince of Wales.
However, Archie and Lilibet are both the grandchildren of Charles III, who became king of England after the disappearance of his mother.

However, this law of 1917 does not apply automatically, the last word indeed returns to Charles III.
According to the

, the latter has since agreed to grant them these distinctions, but the
Times
suggests in an article of September 25 that the sovereign is still undecided in this regard.
Katie Nicholl, a royal expert who has published a new book,
The New Royals
, on the moral legacy of the late sovereign, also argues that King Charles will only bestow the titles of prince and princess on his grandchildren at one time. only condition: that Harry and Meghan "undertake to be respectful of the British Crown".
We bet that the Netflix documentary as well as the upcoming memoir of Prince Harry will not weigh in favor of the Sussex children.
