Harry and Meghan’s three-day visit to Nigeria was a success, despite mixed reactions in the UK. Their warm reception showed they remain popular in the Commonwealth.
Meanwhile, reports claim Prince William, Kate, and King Charles were “furious” about the trip. Still, it likely won’t be their last “royal” visit.
As for their children, Archie and Lilibet, they remain distant from their UK relatives. Harry reportedly has no plans to bring them to the UK, but the Sussexes may soon introduce them to public life.

Archie was born in the UK, while Lilibet was born in Montecito, California, where Harry and Meghan now reside in a mansion nicknamed “Fort Knox.” Despite their busy projects—Netflix deals, Spare, and Meghan’s lifestyle brand—their children remain their priority.
After leaving the royal family, they lost many privileges, including Frogmore Cottage, but retained their titles. Their explosive revelations angered King Charles, Prince William, and Kate Middleton.
In March 2023, they announced Lilibet’s christening, confirming both children as Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, calling the titles their “birthright.”
Harry and Meghan decided to give their children royal titles
Harry and Meghan held a private christening for their children in Montecito, confirming their royal titles as prince and princess. A spokesperson stated the titles were Archie and Lilibet’s birthright since King Charles became monarch.
Meghan previously addressed the issue in her 2021 Oprah interview, claiming discussions had taken place about denying Archie a title. However, Harry and Meghan ultimately decided to let their children choose whether to keep them in the future.
While the titles will mainly be used for formal occasions, royal expert Angela Levin warns they could impact Archie and Lilibet’s futures in unexpected ways.
