Queen Elizabeth Made Chances To King George V's Degree To Include Prince William's Children?
According to Us Weekly, King George V, Queen Elizabeth's grandfather, decreed in 1917 that royal titles should be given to any children of the monarch's son. In 2012, the late queen amended this decree to include the children of her grandson Prince William.
At the time, the amendment still did not include Prince Harry's future children because the decree only applied to Prince William's kids. But now that King Charles has been named as the new monarch, Prince William became first in line to the throne.
And since the original decree states that royal titles should be given to any children of the monarch's sons, Prince Harry and his kids are now included in the amendment.

"They didn't want him to be a prince or a princess, which would be different from protocol. It was really hard. … This went on for the last few months of our pregnancy where I'm going, 'Hold on a second. How does that work? … If he's not gonna be a prince, he needs to be safe,'" she told Oprah Winfrey.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Markle's spokesperson told People that Archie and Lilibet inheriting their royal titles shouldn't come as a shock to royal fans.
"The children's titles have been a birthright since their grandfather became monarch. This matter has been settled for some time in alignment with Buckingham Palace," the source said.
