If you're a little confused about the title changes happening in the royal family, we've got you.
Harry, 37, retains his Duke of Sussex title. The decision by Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, to step away from their duties as senior members of the royal family has no effect on any title changes following the queen's death, according to Roberts.
"There is a title for the second son, but it’s already been taken," Roberts said."The second son is usually called the Duke of York, but Prince Andrew has the Duke of York title for the rest of his life. So if Harry hadn’t stepped back and Prince Andrew wasn’t alive, then Prince Harry could had been called Duke of York.", per Queen Elizabeth’s message during her platinum jubilee celebrations earlier this year.
“When, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes King, I know you will give him and his wife Camilla the same support that you have given me; and it is my sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service,” Elizabeth said at the time.It's possible that William's wife, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, could take the title Princess of Wales once he becomes the Prince of Wales.
With Charles now on the throne, William is now first in the line of succession because he is Charles' oldest child. Harry is nowbehind William's children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. Harry's son, Archie, moves to sixth in line, with his baby sister, Lilibet, seventh in line in head of the queen's second-oldest son, the embattled Prince Andrew, who is now eighth in line.Alexander Kacala is a reporter and editor at TODAY Digital and NBC OUT.
