That's possible, if you're still willing to accept Meghan's say-so after her somewhat misleading comments that suggest this is down to racism. But if you look at very recent royal history, you'll see that it's not just George V who wanted to narrow down the public-facing group of royals, Prince Philip did something very similar as well when he decided that certain royals should step back out of the limelight, leaving a core group that you see now. They've been downsizing for several generations now, so to speak. It's possible they hadn't planned on bestowing titles on Harry's kids eventually, and downsizing further.

But at this point, I'm don't think I trust Meghan's word for it. At best - and this is the kindest, most benign interpretation - her understanding of how things work seems very shaky, like yours. If that's the case, then it's very foolish to go throwing around accusations about motive and titles based on one's inaccurate understanding of how they work. (Even though that's proven very effective with many Americans who also don't know how they work.) At worst, you have to wonder why she's giving this impression that no titles = racism even though she knows (and Harry MUST know) that it's just how things work and it would've been the same if she'd been white.
