Prince Harry and Meghan Markle surprised royal fans when they dropped a big hint about their children’s future. Just before Christmas, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced changes to their charitable organisation the Archewell Foundation, which is being renamed to Archewell Philanthropies.

In a statement explaining the change, the company said: “This charitable entity allows the couple and their children to expand upon their global philanthropic endeavours as a family.”

By mentioning their children Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four, in the statement, this has been seen as a hint that the couple are planning to involve their children in the organisation in the future. Royal expert Richard Eden for The Daily Mail was told by one of Harry’s friends: “I am genuinely confused. Harry and Meghan were always so insistent that their children would be able to make their own way in life without the pressure of expectations or titles. I can’t believe Harry is behind this. It must be Meghan’s influence.”
