EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: Harry and Meghan can still use their HRH titles despite being removed from Buckingham Palace website
Harry can still use the title His Royal Highness despite its removal from the Buckingham Palace website.
Megan too. The letters patent granting the honor to HRH were never rescinded, allowing them to continue to use the titles if they so choose.
The statement released by the Palace in 2020 read: “The Sussexes will not be using their HRH titles as they are no longer working members of the Royal Family.” Which is nonsense. Beatrice, Eugenie and Prince and Princess Michael use HRH and are non-working royals.
The King hopes the fudge will hold because he has no desire to formally change the rules set by George V in 1917.

Prince William, still angry after his ill-fated Caribbean tour last year, could soon face another thorny issue over his mother’s favorite holiday destination, Barbuda.
Antigua’s small sister island faces a challenge to its colonial history, with the government planning to increase development by changing the law that all land in Barbudan is held in common by its 545 residents.
Because William was a regular visitor to Diana, the islanders write to him asking for help. If he intervened, it would put him in direct conflict with the Prime Minister of Antigua, Gaston Browne.
He is already determined to call off the royal connection and, according to local rumours, is keen to become President Browne in their place. William might hope Barbudan’s call for help gets lost in the message.

About Barbuda. English millionaire Henry Anderson, 42, tried to circumvent the island’s ban on large tourist developments with a 114-acre villa complex, claiming it was a residence for members of the visiting royal family.
This was news for the Palace. Anderson has now been forced to ‘clarify’, saying: ‘The idea of offering use of the property to members of the Royal Family was simply intended as a gesture that may or may not be taken up.’ Stop digging, Henry.

At the wedding of former Newsnight political editor Lewis Goodall, former BBC man John Sopel makes the mistake of exposing his friend’s vanity when he met his future wife and she asked: ” So, what are you doing?” Cocky Lewis bragged: “Google me and see how many Twitter followers I have.”
Red-faced Goodall later tweeted to Sopel: “Four Malbecs and a glint in the eye, but still inexcusable.”
Recalling how his childhood love of Irish dancing took him away from The Troubles, Belfast-born Catholic film star Ciaran Hinds highlights his bond with a childhood Protestant pal.
“Peter and I started dancing together, probably from when we were five or six,” he says.
“We grew up and kept dancing until we were 18 or 19… I had a way of fitting in completely with the Protestants.
Too bad Republican and Loyalist headbangers didn’t give up terrorism for Riverdance!
