Prince William is considering giving more royal duties to Lady Louise and James, who opted out of HRH titles for a more normal life.
Their parents, Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie, chose not to give them HRH titles to help them have a more normal upbringing. But now, William is thinking about giving them another shot at royal roles.
If they accept, they’d get public funding and have to start attending events as representatives of the Crown. It’s a big decision, especially after Harry and Meghan’s exit from royal life.
Louise turned down the chance to be Princess Louise when she turned 18, and it seems James might do the same. Their parents wanted them to grow up like regular kids, going to school and hanging out with friends.
Sophie once said they’re preparing them for a life where they might need to work for a living. It’s all about keeping things grounded, even if their grandparents live in a castle!
