– Harry and Meghan wanted him to be a princeAt the time of his birth, a royal source said Harry and Meghan had decided he should be a regular Master Archie Mountbatten-Windsor. In recent years, the royal family has shifted towards a slimmed-down monarchy, focusing on those at the top of the line of succession. But the royal family could have agreed to foot their security bill privately, and used a private firm. Although it would have been unusual in Harry’s case, members of the royal family do not have to have grand nuptials. Royal aides are appointed by the royal family and are accountable to them.
