Archie and Lilibet: The Non-British Future of Prince Harry's Children

Background

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle welcomed their first child, Archie Harrison, in May 2019. Two years later, they welcomed their second child, Lilibet "Lili" Diana.

No British Citizenship

Archie

Although born in London, Archie is not a British citizen. This is because his parents chose to forgo his British citizenship in favor of American citizenship instead.

Lilibet

Lilibet, born in California, USA, is also not a British citizen. She automatically acquired American citizenship at birth due to her place of birth.

Implications for the Future

Archie and Lilibet will not inherit their father's British royal titles or responsibilities. As they grow up, they will be raised as private citizens.

Growing Up Like Any Other Kids

Despite their royal lineage, Prince Harry has stated that Archie and Lilibet are growing up "like any other kids." They attend school, play with friends, and enjoy the same activities as other children.

Conclusion

Archie and Lilibet's future paths may diverge significantly from those of their father and other members of the British royal family. As they continue to grow and explore their own lives, they will do so as private citizens, embracing their American heritage and living beyond the confines of royal protocol.
