Apparently Cringe and Ginge are even more shallow than we thought…
According to a report, they turned down a title for their son in the name of optics.
Archie’s title would have been Lord Dumbarton, as his father Harry was given the Earldom by the Queen when he married Meghan in 2018.
There are reports that the couple turned down the title for their son because it contained the word “dumb.” If this is true, it pokes even more holes in Meghan’s tell-all interview with Oprah.
In the interview, Meghan claimed that those within “The Firm” had decided that he wouldn’t be given a title.
So… she lied. Again.
This would not surprise me at all. Meghan only cares about how she appears to the public. How could her son be given such a demeaning title?!
Let me remind you that the Queen only offered up a title for Archie out of kindness.
Nothing will ever be good enough for the Sussexes…
The Daily Wire had this to say:
Great Britain’s Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, reportedly nixed the idea of giving their son Archie the title of Earl of Dumbarton because it contained the word “dumb.”
The title was bestowed upon Lord George Douglas in the Peerage of Scotland in March 1675 for fighting in the Franco-Dutch War. The title became extinct in 1749 after the death of his only son, then was resurrected in the U.K. Peerage by Queen Elizabeth for Harry when he married Markle in 2018, The Telegraph notes.
Harry “was also created Baron Kilkeel. His son is the heir to the earldom but when he was born in May 2019, the couple insisted that he would simply be known as Archie Mountbatten-Windsor,” the outlet reports.
The Telegraph said sources claimed Harry and Meghan “never raised an issue” about Archie not being a prince until their Oprah Winfrey interview. The Telegraph added, “Harry was said to be ‘adamant’ that Archie, now two, ‘should be raised without titles like his cousins Peter and Zara Philips.’”
