Meghan Markle and Prince Harry acted like 'a couple of teenagers,' palace sources allege in explosive new book

Valentine Low, who first broke the story on bullying allegations against the Duchess of Sussex, has written a new book titled "Courtiers: Intrigue, Ambition, and the Power Players Behind the House of Windsor."

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are officially the parents of a prince and princess.

As of today, the royal family's website has updated their line of succession to include Prince Archie of Sussex and Princess Lilibet of Sussex, listed right after their father.

"The children's titles have been a birthright since their grandfather became monarch. This matter has been settled for some time in alignment with Buckingham Palace," a spokesperson for the Sussexes confirmed to Fox News Digital.

The first mention of the new titles came yesterday with the news of Lilibet's christening.

"I can confirm that Princess Lilibet Diana was christened on Friday, March 3 by the bishop in the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles, the Rev John Taylor," a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex told Fox News Digital in a statement.

A source revealed to People magazine that an invitation to the christening was extended to King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William and Kate Middleton, although none of the senior royals attended. A spokesperson for Buckingham Palace did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

The children were previously known as "Master" and "Miss," but when Queen Elizabeth died and King Charles ascended the throne, both Harry and William's children were able to take on the elevated titles.
