In a shocking turn of events, King Charles III has reportedly taken steps to remove Archie, the son of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, from the royal succession line.
This decision comes after a doctor leaked proof casting doubt on Archie’s paternity, suggesting that he may not be Prince Harry’s biological son.
The royal family has been a hot topic of discussion recently, particularly in relation to Prince Harry’s standing within the monarchy.
Speculation has been rife that King Charles III is contemplating stripping Archie and his sister Lilibet of their prince and princess titles, as they have yet to be officially designated as such following Queen Elizabeth II’s passing.
Previously, there were concerns raised by the couple about their children not receiving royal titles, with suggestions that this was due to them not being active working royals.
However, the revelation of doubts surrounding Archie’s parentage has added a new layer of complexity to the situation.
Last year, Prince Harry reportedly underwent DNA tests to determine whether Archie was indeed his biological child.
Shockingly, the results of the tests yielded conflicting outcomes.
The first test indicated that Prince Harry was not Archie’s father, leading to a tense and emotional reaction from the Duke of Sussex and Meghan Markle.
Prince Harry vehemently disputed the results of the initial DNA test, accusing those involved of plotting against him and his son.
In a bid to quell the rumors surrounding Archie’s paternity, Prince Harry took a second test, which confirmed that he was indeed the father of Michael’s unborn child.
Despite this confirmation, doubts still linger within the royal family regarding Archie’s lineage.
Calls have now emerged in the UK Parliament for King Charles III to address the status of Prince Harry and his brother Prince Andrew as non-working members of the royal family.
With Prince Harry having stepped back from his royal duties alongside Meghan Markle, and Prince Andrew embroiled in scandal, King Charles III faces the challenge of managing non-working royals within the monarchy.
Discussions have ensued in the House of Lords regarding potential amendments to the Residency Act of 1937 to prevent the Duke of York and Sussex from assuming regency roles.
During a parliamentary session, Viscount Stanchgate raised concerns about the implications of the current legislation on regency appointments.
He urged the government to engage with King Charles III to explore amendments that would clarify the line of succession and regency powers within the royal family.
Conservative Peer Lord Troom responded to Viscount Stanchgate’s queries, emphasizing the need for close consultation with the Royal Household on any proposed changes to the Residency Act.
The debate surrounding the royal family’s composition and governance continues to unfold, with the future roles of Prince Harry and Prince Andrew remaining uncertain in light of recent developments.
