Why is Harry and Meghan’s son not a prince?

The Hindu  

One of the most dramatic claims in Prince Harry and Meghan's interview with Oprah Winfrey was the allegation that their son was denied a royal title, possibly because of his skin colour. Meghan said that while she was pregnant “they” — presumably the palace — “were saying they didn't want him to be a prince, which would be different from protocol.” She implied it might be a case of “the first member of color in this family not being titled in the same way that other grandchildren would be.” Was Archie snubbed? A decree issued by King George V in 1917 limits the titles of prince and princess to the children of the monarch, children of the monarch's sons and “the eldest living son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales” — that is William's son Prince George. In her interview, Meghan said she was told that “they want to change the convention for Archie.” It is unclear what she was referring to, but Morris said Prince Charles has let it be known “that he favors a smaller royal family” when he takes the throne. Meghan expressed concern that without a title, Archie “wasn't going to receive security.” But a royal title such as prince or princess does not automatically bring security protection.
