In a shocking turn of events, King Charles has made the decision to strip Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of their royal titles.
The king, who recently celebrated three months as sovereign, found himself glued to the television, lawyers on standby, and senior aides anxiously waiting at the door, as he watched the explosive Netflix series by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
According to sources from New Idea, King Charles is deeply disappointed with his son and daughter-in-law.
He believes that Harry is determined to destroy the family and everything they hold dear.
While Queen Elizabeth was alive, Charles had to be more lenient regarding the Harry and Meghan situation.
However, now that he is the sole decision-maker, he will not tolerate them mocking the monarchy while still benefiting from their titles.
Stripping the couple of their titles, however, is not a decision that King Charles can make alone.
Recent reports suggest that Charles has been testing the waters with the British Parliament in order to gain support for this move.
He has lobbied to include his siblings, Princess Anne and Prince Edward, as councillors of state, which would eliminate the need to rely on Prince Harry and Prince Andrew when the king is overseas or incapacitated.
Charles is known for his political savvy, and although he is not supposed to interfere in political matters, he understands how the system works.
Observers say that when Parliament agreed to examine the issue, he saw an opportunity to introduce a members’ bill that would grant him the power to strip the Sussexes of their dukedom.
After witnessing the revelations on Netflix, Charles believes that this action cannot come soon enough.
Furthermore, recent polls indicate that almost half of the British population surveyed supports stripping Harry and Meghan of their titles.
Over 40% also believe that Harry should be removed from the official line of succession due to his actions within the media.
Prominent politicians have even suggested that the couple should stay away from King Charles’ coronation at Westminster Abbey on May 6th.
There are concerns that crowds could turn against the couple if Harry attends the historic ceremony.
Former Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith questioned why Harry and Meghan would want to attend the coronation if they dislike the royal family so much.
David Mellor, a former MP and cabinet minister, added that the couple should not be present, as they profit from betraying their own family.
Historian and author Lady Antonia Fraser also expressed her hope that the Sussexes would not steal the limelight during the coronation, stating that she wants the focus to be on the King and Queen.
Royal expert Phil Dampier believes that the royals can no longer ignore the seriousness of the situation and continue forgiving Harry and Meghan.
He states that the feud shows no signs of slowing down and that the majority of the British public supports stripping the couple of their titles.
However, the process is not straightforward, and Charles may have to reconsider his leniency after watching the Netflix series.
While it has been said that the royals will maintain a dignified silence in response to the Sussexes’ outbursts, doubts remain about their ability to do so.
The tension between the couple and the royal family seems far from resolved, and the repercussions of this ongoing feud are yet to be seen.
