King Charles reportedly finalizing Archie and Lilibet titles after "Spare" announcement.

[The Mirror reports that Prince Charles is waiting for the release of Harry's memoir, Spare, to make a decision.

The memoir will be released on January 10 after Harry & Meghan, a six-part Netflix documentary that has not done much to repair the relationship between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the new king; until then, according to the Mirror, the monarch has not decided what he will do about the titles of his grandchildren. Until then, according to the Mirror, the monarch has not decided what to do about the grandchildren's titles.

After the late King's death on September 8, the children of the Sussex family have not only moved up in the line of succession to the throne, with Archie now 6th and Lilibet 7th, but have also been granted HRH status as grandchildren of the current monarch. s children and grandchildren are automatically entitled to the title of HRH and Prince or Princess.

"Despite Harry and Meghan stepping down (from active members of the royal family in 2020), their children Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1, became Prince and Princess when Queen Elizabeth II died in September," the Mirror reports. But that does not preclude Prince Charles from "issuing a writ of patent to change Archie and Lilibet's status should he decide to abolish their titles, in keeping with his vision of streamlining the monarchy."

As of today, the royal website has not yet updated its line of succession to reflect Archie and Lilibet's Prince and Princess titles; according to the Mirror, "The Sunday Times reports that until Prince Harry's forthcoming memoirs are published, the monarch will not be able to issue a patent to change his grandchildren's The Sunday Times understands that until Prince Harry's forthcoming memoirs are published, the monarch will not make a decision on whether his grandchildren can use the royal title or the HRH moniker."

Harry's book, the contents of which are essentially completely unknown at this time, is 416 pages long and was written with ghostwriter J.R. Mohlinger. Harry received a $20 million advance from Penguin Random House.

As for what will happen to the Archie and Lilibet titles, a source close to King told The Sunday Times (via The Mirror), "We'll see. We haven't made a final decision," he said. Buckingham Palace declined to comment.

While the titles of the Sussex children may hang in the balance, Prince Charles at least wants the Sussex children to attend his coronation at Westminster Abbey on May 6. According to the Mirror, "His Majesty has asked Harry and Meghan that they are welcome to attend as they do not want the coronation to be swamped by drama."

The Mirror reports that "Harry and Meghan have been told that the Sussex children are welcome to attend the coronation, as they do not want the coronation to be dominated by drama.

"Harry is his son and His Majesty will always love him," a source told the Daily Mail. 'It's a difficult situation at the moment, but the door will always remain open.'
