I think that Charles has expressed his "will" via the website. Shortly after HLM's death the website was updated to show (IIRC) Charles as King, Camilla as Queen Consort, William, Kate and family as "of Cornwall and Cambridge", the Sussex children's names did not change, they remained Master Archie Mountbatten-Windsor and Miss Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor.
Then when King Charles gave his speech, he stated that he had created William as Prince of Wales and the royal.uk website was very soon thereafter updated to reflect the changes in titles of William and his family members, and yet nothing changed for the Sussex children.
I consider Meghan's discussion about titles for Archie / the Sussex children to be word salad because she conflated what Archie's designation would be at birth versus what it would be when Charles ascends - I do debate with myself whether she did that accidentally or on purpose. IIRC, and I don't recall her exact words, she did say something to the effect that in these discussions Charles made it known that, when the time came, it was his prerogative to do things as he sees fit.
