Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s baby isn’t royal yet… despite being seventh in line to the throne
Harry and Meg's kids are not entitled to the Prince or Princess title (just as Charlotte and Louis were not)
MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry's baby may be seventh in line to the throne, but he won't be given a royal title automatically.
King George V introduced a rule in 1917 which means their baby will need special permission from the Queen to become a HRH.
Only the eldest son of the Queen's first born, Prince Charles, is entitled to be a HRH, no younger sons or daughters.
But in December 2012, before Prince William and Kate Middleton had their first born Prince George, the Queen used the Letters Patent so she could give all of their children a HRH title.
The Letters Patent is a method that allows the sovereign to give orders without involving Parliament.
When it comes to Harry and Meghan's boy, the title system works differently.
Harry and Meg's kids are not entitled to the Prince or Princess title (just as Charlotte and Louis were not).
As Prince Harry is a Duke, it is tradition for the eldest son of a Duke to eventually inherit the Dukedom.
So he could be known as the Earl of Dumbarton (Harry's secondary title which was gifted to him on his wedding day along with his Dukedom) before he eventually inherits the Duke of Sussex title.
Any younger sons or daughters Meghan and Harry have will be known as Lord (his name) Windsor or Lady (her name) Windsor.
The Queen is yet to make special permission for Harry and Meghan's first child to be a HRH.
Baby Sussex is already royally loaded and his fortune is set to hit the BILLIONS.
Meghan Markle's baby will share a birthday with potential godfather George Clooney, Tony Blair and a Foo Fighters rockstar.
