For every ordinary people who idolize any royalty that comes to mind, they have already overlooked the royal protocols and royal rulings attached to it. Why there are also celebrities who after being famous and all, they are now trying their best to keep their life private, as much as possible, that is because, there are big responsibilities on being a public figure, and there is less likely to having fun on being one.
As a new royal arrives, many people thought of what his fate will be and what would be the new royal rules they have to follow that his parents have known from the start. Although he might not agree with it, being a member of the Royal Family entails a lot of responsibility, pressure and some advantages that he might enjoy.
When Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor came into the world and was just welcomed into the Christian world, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle cannot hide their happiness for this tiny blessing that came into their lives. But the royal truth is, every royal couple with minor children technically don't have their child's custody.
This is to follow a century-old historic rule from King George I, wherein the law states that any subsequent reigning sovereigns would have legal custody of minor grandchildren. According to royal expert Marlene Koenig, the law titled "The Grand Opinion for the Prerogative Concerning the Royal Family," was introduced by King George I in 1717.
The story of the royal rule started from a royal feud between King George II and his son, the future George II, like some of the royals previously reported, they did not get along well especially when the Prince of Wales [George II] did not want to have the godparent for his son that his father wanted - so, George, I got Parliament to come up with something. Did it ring a bell to a seemingly familiar royal problem instead of Archie Harrison's royal christening?
However, the same law forbids Princess Diana to live with her sons in Australia following her reportedly sensationalized divorce with Prince Charles. More so, that one of her sons were already tagged as "future King of England," as the Queen ensures the safety and security of all that is in the line of throne.
There is also an underlying issue of the decision of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to baptize their firstborn in a Private Chapel at Windsor Castle with only a small group of relatives and friends of his parents present as photographers and public were kept from accessing the castle. However, according to royal historian Prof Kate Williams, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex' attempts to keep their life private may not be a good idea.
The professor said in an interview that despite being "a long way from the throne," Archie Harrison is still a member of the Royal Family and he is still a son of "two of the most famous parents in the world." According to Williams, it would be "hurtful" for their fans if they continue to have decisions in regards to their privacy.
