The delay in granting Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet their Royal Family titles still hurts Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, a royal author has claimed.
Omid Scobie, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's biographer, has released a new bombshell book titled Endgame.
Meghan and Harry have distanced themselves from any collaboration with Scobie on his latest work.
The royal author has claimed that King Charles delayed giving Archie, 4, and Lilibet, 2, the titles of prince and princess for six months.

Scobie claims the King told Prince Harry he would make the titles official in early 2023.
He adds that the subject was then mentioned causally to Harry by the monarch's press secretary the following month.
A friend of the Sussexes told Scobie that the couple "see the way their children are treated differently" to Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, which is "hard to feel comfortable with".
The Royal Family updated their official website to reflect Archie Harrison and Lilibet Diana's new titles in March 2023.

According to reports Meghan and Harry were keen not to deny their children their birthright to the titles.
However, the couple wish to let Archie and Lilibet decide for themselves when they are older, if they wish to keep using their titles or drop them later on.
At the time of King Charles's accession, a spokesman for the monarch pledged to update Archie and Lilibet’s titles on the Royal Family website "as and when we get information".
