Earlier this year, it was reported that then-Prince Charles — now King Charles III — told Harry that he wanted to change what is known as a Letters Patent, preventing his grandchildren from inheriting the titles of prince and princess as part of a plan to slim down the monarchy, When asked if the title was important to her, the former “Suits” star said she cared little for the “grandeur” of royal nomenclature, and that to her, “Mom” was her most important title. The edict states that all grandchildren of the sovereign are able to style themselves as “His Royal Highness” or “Her Royal Highness” and be referred to as prince or princess, if they so choose.
