Prince Louis is growing up in a new era of the Royal Family. His parents, Prince William and Kate Middleton, are focused on modernizing the monarchy and how they raise their children. While he is fourth in line to the throne, it is unlikely that Louis will ever become king. However, he still has an important role to play within the Royal Family. But is it fair for him to always be overshadowed by his older brother, Prince George? Maybe it’s time for the Royal Family to take a bold step, strip the younger children of their royal titles, and let them pave their own way.
Prince Harry is often referred to as the “spare,” always in the shadow of his older brother and not considered of great importance. Growing up behind William, who was being groomed for the throne, must have been challenging for Harry, and he eventually chose to walk a different path.
Why Prince Louis Should Choose His Own Path
Prince Louis has expressed concerns that both Princess Charlotte and himself will face the same fate as Prince Harry. He worries that they won’t be taken care of in the same way as Prince George, who will one day be king.
William and Kate want to modernize the monarchy and raise their children as normally as possible. If they truly seek a sense of normalcy for Charlotte and Louis, then it’s time to let them decide their own futures. Stripping them of their royal titles may seem drastic, but it could have significant benefits.
Firstly, the titles themselves are viewed by some as outdated. By dropping the titles, the Royal Family can better connect with the public and become more relatable. This could also boost their popularity.
Becoming a Bridge Between Monarchy and Citizens
If Prince Louis were to be stripped of his titles, he could become a person of great importance as he grows up. He could serve as a bridge between the monarchy and the common citizen, a crucial factor for the long-term survival of the Royal Family.
Prince Harry chose a unique path away from royal life, and there are discussions among royal experts that Prince Louis might be encouraged to pursue a career beyond Buckingham Palace as well. If that is the case and Louis desires a “normal” life, holding onto a royal title would complicate matters.
Prince William and Kate Middleton undoubtedly want what is best for their children. In that regard, now is the opportune moment for them to consider stripping both Louis and Charlotte of their royal titles. However, it is unlikely that they will take this step, which reveals that there is still a long way to go for the monarchy to embrace modernity.
