On Thursday evening’s episode of GB News, historian Rafe Heydel-Mankoo made a dig at the Duchess of Sussex while discussing her children Archie and Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor.

Following the passing of the Queen, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are reported to be battling for their children to be given royal titles. After the pair stepped down as senior royals in 2020, Rafe called the claimed request “outrageous.”

Now that King Charles III has risen to the British throne, Archie, three, and Lilibet, one, are considered prince and princess.

According to reports, the children will not be given the titles of His Royal Highness or Her Royal Highness.

According to The Sun, the Sussexes are “furious” that Archie and Lilibet “cannot adopt the title HRH.”

Patrick Christyon of GB News interviewed London-based writer Rafe about the title change on Thursday.

Rafe began: “Now they want their kids to have royal titles – they want to have their cake and eat it too, don’t they?

“I mean it’s quite outrageous as this was a couple who said they were basically going to distance themselves from the Royal Family.

“They said they wanted to have their own lives in North America and yet here they still want to benefit from the privileges that come with being a member of the Royal Family.”

He continued: “The fact is, you may remember, Meghan had said originally the Royal Family were being racist for not giving her children the title of prince and princess.
