Princess Anne Is Delighted to Bestow a New Title on Prince Harry and His Son Archie as They Return to the UK: ‘I Am Very Pleased to Announce That Harry Has Become…’
In a surprising and heartwarming turn of events, Princess Anne has publicly expressed her delight at bestowing a new royal title upon her nephew, Prince Harry, and his son, Archie, as they officially return to the UK after years of living abroad. The announcement, made just moments ago, marks a major shift in the royal family’s dynamics—and has the public buzzing with excitement.
“I am very pleased to announce that Harry has become Earl of Windsor,” Princess Anne said in a statement earlier today. “And his son Archie will be known as Viscount Windsor. This is a momentous occasion, and I believe it’s time for Harry and his family to take their place with the rest of us in the royal fold.”
The move comes as a complete surprise to royal watchers, especially given Harry’s contentious departure from the royal family back in 2020. Since then, Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, have spent much of their time in the United States, where they’ve focused on their philanthropic work, media ventures, and raising their children, Archie and Lilibet.
Now, with the family returning to the UK, it appears that Princess Anne—long known for her no-nonsense attitude and steadfast loyalty to the monarchy—has extended an olive branch, welcoming Harry and Archie back into the royal fold with these prestigious new titles.
The announcement comes just weeks after rumors that Harry and his family were planning a return to Britain for several royal events. The decision to bestow a title on Harry marks a stark contrast to previous tensions within the royal family. Princess Anne, who has long been seen as one of the more traditional members of the family, is known for her pragmatic approach to royal duties. Many are interpreting this gesture as a significant sign of reconciliation between Harry and the royal institution.
“I’m delighted for them both,” Anne continued. “Harry has always been a part of this family, and it’s time for him to be recognized as such. I’m equally pleased that Archie will carry on the legacy of his royal lineage.”
While the specifics of the titles are still being clarified, sources close to the royal family confirm that Harry and Archie will now be granted the right to officially use their new titles in the UK, alongside their existing ones. This means that Harry will be referred to as Earl of Windsor, and Archie will be styled as Viscount Windsor, though they will still retain their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles, with the family’s return symbolizing a new chapter in their relationship with the monarchy.
For the British public, this announcement is seen as a hopeful step toward healing old wounds and bridging the gap between Harry, his family, and the royal institution. Social media has exploded with messages of support, with many royal fans expressing joy at the possibility of a united royal family once again.
However, it’s unclear whether other members of the royal family will share Anne’s enthusiasm for the new titles. King Charles has yet to publicly comment on the development, and sources close to the Palace suggest that Princess Anne’s gesture may not be entirely well-received by everyone.
As Harry, Meghan, and Archie settle back into life in the UK, all eyes will be on how the rest of the royal family reacts to this significant gesture and whether this marks the beginning of a more inclusive future for the Sussexes within the royal fold.
