An outspoken American TV host has claimed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will be using the royal titles of their children, Archie and Lilibet, to pay the bills.

Megyn Kelly, a vocal critic of the couple who used to work for Fox News, has claimed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's “only currency is [their kids’] titles”.

While Archie and Lilibet were not given HRH titles at birth due to their position in the line of succession, changes have now been made after formal discussions took place with King Charles.

Megyn claimed in an interview with Sky News Australia that the only reason the couple are popular in the US is because of their childrens’ royal titles.

"This is the act of a couple who understands their only currency is those titles. That's all they have to pay the bills and make themselves interesting,” she said in the interview last week.

“Their approval ratings are through the floor, they went down even lower in America and in the UK, over the past couple of months.

“Calling your kid prince and princess ain’t gonna help,” she added.

The former Fox News host has been a vocal critic of the Sussexes in the past, tweeting earlier this month: "Look at these pathetic money-grubbing spotlight addicts.

"King Charles invites them to the Coronation despite their mean-girl betrayals and it's 'we'll have to think about it'."

Archie and Lilibet are now officially in the line of succession as, having previously featured on the line of succession page as Master Archie Mountbatten-Windsor and Miss Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor.

Lilibet's royal title was first used earlier this month when it was announced that she had been christened at their home in California.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's spokesman said at the time: "I can confirm that Princess Lilibet Diana was christened on Friday, March 3 by the Archbishop of Los Angeles, the Rev John Taylor."
