Unexpected fact: Kate Middleton and Megan Markle are not and will not be the official guardians of their children. Does the queen simply dislike daughters-in-law? Not at all. Princes William and Harry also do not have and will not have custody of their offspring. And Charles and Diana were not guardians of William and Harry.
After the wedding, Prince Harry and Megan Markle are all eagerly waiting for the newlyweds to report on the imminent addition to the family, writes Viva. The network has already appeared news that Megan is pregnant with twins, but this information has not been confirmed. Recently, the media reported that the couple intend to adopt a black girl from Africa, but Megan and Harry did not confirm this news either. In any case, the new duchess should know one thing - she will not have full parental rights to her children.
The insider said that the full rights to custody of minor grandchildren and great-grandchildren in the royal family belong to Queen Elizabeth II - these are the traditions, notes Bazaar. The rule that only a monarch is an official guardian and a representative of his grandchildren dates back to the 18th century, namely, the 1717 year. King George I had a bad relationship with his son, and he decided to take care of his future heirs.
Despite the fact that it was so long ago, and today representatives of the royal family adhere to this rule. The custom is still in force: when William and Harry were children, Charles had to ask Elizabeth II for permission to go with them to Scotland.
Once the queen even refused to princess Diana a request to take her sons to Australia - this was shortly before the death of Lady Dee. Also, the monarch has the last word in matters of education and marriage, so Elizabeth’s approval of her grandchildren’s choices is more formal than we used to think.
