Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Duke and Duchess of Sussex, are in a precarious situation regarding their royal titles. There has been constant speculation about stripping them of their titles, but experts suggest such a move could have unintended consequences. Royal commentator Ingrid Seward claims the titles are likely to remain intact.
Even if her titles were removed, Meghan would simply assume a new title: Princess Harry, which could confuse Americans. The Royal Family appears to be taking a different approach, choosing to ignore the couple and let them continue their lives in Montecito, California, alongside their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Real author Tom Quinn shared his insights with Mirror, saying: “Charles is desperate to strip Harry and Meghan of their royal titles, but is worried it will appear vindictive and make the situation worse.” He further explained: “He knows that he would give Meghan and Harry another chance to claim that they are being mistreated.”
Quinn explained the potential impact of such a decision, noting: “The California-based royals would be greatly affected by the loss of their royal titles, but would enjoy the publicity it would bring, as they have always felt as if they were the victims.” in the family row. The loss of the titles would simply confirm it.” And he added: “There would be a rush to give interviews full of renewed complaints about how the family has kicked them in the teeth again.”
A big concern for the palace is that Meghan and Harry will continue to ignore London’s ruling and carry on as if nothing has changed. “The Royal Family could hardly take them to court to stop them from wearing anything that suggested their former royal status,” Quinn said.
Quinn acknowledged that King Charles and Prince William have discussed the possibility of stripping Harry and Meghan of their titles. However, they fear that doing so could aggravate the situation. Quinn explained: “The last thing they want is to give the renegade royals something else to complain about. “William and his father know that even without their royal titles, Meghan and Harry would still travel the world as if they were royals, and would still be welcomed by most people.”
In this delicate balancing act, the Royal Family must weigh the potential consequences of removing the title against the risk of further alienating the couple. As public sympathy often favors alleged victims, the Sussexes could use the publicity surrounding such a move to their advantage. Ultimately, the decision falls to the monarchy and the world watches with curiosity as the drama unfolds.
