Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have come under fire for allegedly using their royal titles to make more money, according to talk TV contributor Esther Krakow.
In an interview with Sky News host Caroline DeRusso, Krakow expressed her surprise at the couple’s reaction to the news that their children would not be eligible for prince and princess titles.
She pointed out that even Princess Royal Anne’s children, Zara Tyndall and Peter Phillips, were not entitled to such titles due to the male-only inheritance rule at the time.
The issue of stripping Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of their titles has been a topic of discussion among the highest levels of the royal family.
A new book claims that there were talks of reducing them to simply Mr. and Mrs. Mountbatten-Windsor.
Many have argued that since the couple stepped down from their royal duties and moved to California, they should no longer hold their titles.
Mirror readers recently participated in a poll where the majority voted in favor of stripping the Sussexes of their titles.
King Charles and Prince William are reportedly irritated by Prince Harry’s intention to reveal more about the royal family’s private life in court.
Although King Charles acknowledges Harry’s status as a private citizen, a source close to the royals mentioned to the Daily Beast that the monarch is displeased with the amount of information Harry has divulged.
The royal family’s focus is to remain undistracted by the ongoing legal battles.
In a surprising move, Buckingham Palace made changes to the British royal family website, downgrading Meghan and Harry’s titles.
Two photos of the couple were replaced, showing Meghan with a frown and Harry noticeably closing his eyes.
The titles were changed to the Earl and Countess of Dumbarton.
However, the changes were reverted the following day.
Some speculate that this was a deliberate act of trolling by the palace, while others believe it was an accidental release before an official announcement.
The leaked changes on the royal website indicate the palace’s intention to alter Harry and Meghan’s rank and status.
Currently, Harry holds the titles Duke of Sussex, Earl of Dumbarton, and Baron Killene.
If the Dukedom were removed, his wife would be known as the Countess of Dumbarton, without the title of Duchess.
The peerage titles follow a descending order of precedence, with Duke being the highest rank.
Parliament is being urged to take action and remove any titles that have been exploited for financial gain while denigrating the monarchy and the people of the UK.
Furthermore, there is a call for Parliament to address the verification of the births of Archie and their second child.
The Mail on Sunday reported that state visits are back on the agenda, and Kate and William are considering taking their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, on overseas trips to enhance their brand.
The Royals aim to maximize the good health of Charles and Camilla to visit far-flung destinations that have not been visited by a reigning monarch since 2013.
While the King may not consider Harry’s litigation timetable when planning his overseas travel for the next two years, the rest of the world and the global news cycle may not share the same nonchalant attitude.
The controversy surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s use of their royal titles continues to capture public attention, raising questions about the future of their roles within the royal family.
