Prince Harry and Meghan made big accusations against the British royalty.

But as far as son Archie's missing prince title is concerned, they were probably wrong with their assumption.

London / Los Angeles - The big interview that Prince Harry and wife Meghan gave to US talk show host Oprah Winfrey is still reverberating around the world.

In it, the two ex-royals made serious accusations to the British royal family.

Among other things, family members are said to have worried about the color of their skin before the birth of their son Archie.

Meghan is the daughter of a white man and an African American.

There should even have been considerations in the room that he should not receive a prince title in the case of darker skin color.

But apparently Meghan was wrong in her assumption that that was the reason for the lack of prince title.

Interview with Harry and Meghan: It wasn't the Queen who refused Archie the prince title

Because as the British news

site Dailymail.co.uk

reported, the Queen and the Palace should not have decided that.

The fact that Archie does not have a prince title is due to a decision made by Queen Elizabeth's grandfather King George V in 1917. It was stated in writing that only royal descendants who were direct successors may be appointed princes or princesses.

Accordingly, in addition to the Queen's children and grandchildren, only Prince Wiliam's eldest son, Prince George (7), has the right to the title of prince.

As he is the son of a future king and comes third in line to the British throne.

So that George's siblings Charlotte (5) and Louis (2), who should have waived the title according to the rule described, could also be called prince and princess, the Queen decided before George's birth in 2013 that all children of William and Kate should have May carry titles.

Because they too are the children of a future monarch.

Interview with Harry and Meghan: Because of a long tradition, no prince title for Archie

So it was not the Queen's decision that Archie not have a prince title.

According to constitutional

expert

Craig Prescott to

Dailymail.com, it

should have been mainly due to Prince Charles that no other great-grandchildren of the Queen would get a prince title.

He wanted to keep the royal family small and concentrate primarily on the successors to the direct line of succession.

Incidentally, the full name of the son of Harry and Meghan is Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.
