Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have released a new statement addressing the news that Archie Harrison and Lilibet Diana have been granted royal titles.
Buckingham Palace confirmed on Wednesday that the children would be able to use the titles.
The Royal Family website has also been updated today to reflect the new titles the children hold.
The Sussexes said: "The children’s titles have been a birthright since their grandfather became Monarch.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's children have been granted the titles of prince and princess.

"This matter has been settled for some time in alignment with Buckingham Palace."
It comes as Meghan and Harry called their daughter Princess Lilibet officially for the first time yesterday when they announced she had been christened.
A spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex told GB News: "I can confirm that Princess Lilibet Diana was christened on Friday, March 3 by the Archbishop of Los Angeles, the Rev John Taylor."
Archie and Lilibet's titles as princess and prince will be used in formal settings, but not everyday use by the couple.
However, the Sussexes are keen not to deny their children their birth-right, but wish to let Archie and Lilibet decide for themselves when they are older, if they wish to keep using their titles or drop them later on.
At the time of the late Queen’s death and the King’s accession, a spokesman for the King pledged to update Archie and Lilibet’s names on the site “as and when we get information”.
Meghan and Harry invited King Charles, Camilla, Prince William and the Princess of Wales to Lilibet's christening, a source told People.
However, none of the senior members of the Royal Family attended the christening.
On Wednesday, GB News exclusively revealed that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have made a major blunder in their statement announcing Lilibet had been christened.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex said their daughter was christened by "Archbishop of Los Angeles, the Rev John Taylor."
However, the Archbishop of Los Angeles is Most Reverend José H. Gomez. Reverend Gomez is a Catholic Bishop and did not christen Lilibet.
John Harvey Taylor is the Bishop of Los Angeles in the Diocese of Los Angeles of the Episcopal Church.
GB News contacted the Sussexes for clarification and it's understood it was the Anglican Bishop that christened Lilibet and that it was not a Catholic christening.
