Those guidelines state that the title of prince or princess goes to the little children of the sovereign, grandchildren born to the sovereign’s sons, and the eldest son of the Prince of Wales’s eldest son. Since Lili is a granddaughter of the sovereign, that makes her a princess. Archie can be now thought-about a prince.
