Residents of Sussex have organized a petition urging the removal of titles from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Susannah Chergwin-Wade, a Twitter user, highlighted the mounting pressure faced by the couple.
Living in Sussex myself, just a short distance from Gatwick Airport, I find this situation quite amusing.
The media has been closely following Harry and Meghan’s actions.
Responding to Susannah’s post, one Twitter user expressed their long-standing concerns.
They questioned why the Duke and Duchess of Sussex should retain their titles when they do not represent or support Sussex in any way.
Another user raised the issue of these titles being a wedding gift from Queen Elizabeth II, wondering if King Charles would consider removing them.
Similarly, with Harry’s title of Prince, which he was born with, would King Charles also strip him of it?
As a resident of Sussex, I personally believe that it would be better if King Charles instructed them to refrain from using their titles altogether and instead use their family surname.
Furthermore, Professor Selly Otness, co-author of Royal Fever, suggested that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are likely keeping a low profile as they settle into their lives in the United States.
She noted that Americans may not be as invested in their brand, especially due to their limited connection to the royal family.
Professor Otness also mentioned a possible fatigue among Americans regarding the extensive coverage of the Queen.
Reports indicate that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are planning to mend relations with the rest of the royal family, but only after the release of Harry’s controversial memoir and the premiere of their highly anticipated Netflix series.
The couple had hoped to reconcile with the Queen next year, but their efforts were unsuccessful.
They have faced criticism for their claims of racism during the Oprah Winfrey interview and their attack on the King’s parenting skills, with some labeling them as arrogant and deluded.
Insiders suggest that Harry and Meghan have always been careful not to criticize the Queen, but they now desire to make changes to their memoir and series due to their critical nature towards the new King and Queen consort.
The memoir is set to hit the shelves next month, while the Netflix series is expected to be released in December.
As part of their change in strategy, they have also severed ties with the aggressive Hollywood PR firm, Sunshine Saks.
Sources close to the couple revealed that the book and docu-series were seen as a final opportunity to target the royals before attempting reconciliation.
According to The Sun, next year was supposed to be a year of reconciliation for Harry and Meghan.
The source emphasized their previous efforts to show respect and avoid criticism towards the monarch, but now that the Queen has passed away and Charles and Camilla have assumed their roles as King and Queen, any attempt at reconciliation would be futile if they had been critical of the new monarchs.
Royal author Robert Jobson described Harry and Meghan as a calculated couple, yet consistently misguided in their timing.
He cited their ill-timed Oprah Winfrey interview, conducted while Prince Philip was in the hospital just days before his death, as an example.
Jobson also criticized their recent interview with American magazine The Cut, which coincided with the Queen’s passing.
This new plot for a year of reconciliation is seen as equally arrogant and poorly timed.
Jobson believes that Harry and Meghan will never regain the trust of Prince Charles and Prince William, as disrespecting the King would be disrespectful to both the man and the institution.
Insiders agree that any public attack on the King could be detrimental to any chances of reconciliation.
While Charles will always love his son as a father, as the head of state, he cannot trust him entirely.
The trust between them has been irreparably damaged.
