In a surprising turn of events, King Charles has been advised to strip Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s children, Archie and Lilibet, of their titles.
This recommendation comes after concerns were raised about the couple’s impact on the royal family and the potential harm it may cause to the King’s reputation in the future.
Traditionally, the grandchildren of a monarch automatically inherit the titles of prince and princess.
Following this tradition, Buckingham Palace updated its website six months after Queen Elizabeth’s death, replacing the master and miss references with prince and princess in front of Archie and Lilibet’s names.
As Charles ascended to the throne as the King of the Commonwealth and 14 other realms, his grandchildren became entitled to the use of these titles from September 8th, 2022.
However, it wasn’t until Lilibet’s christening on March 3rd, 2023, that her official use of the title of princess was confirmed by her parents.
Buckingham Palace only updated their website after both Harry and Meghan publicly released details of the intimate ceremony.
Prior to this official decision, the King had reportedly been observing how Harry and Meghan handled the early months of his reign before bestowing the prince and princess titles upon their children.
Royal author Tom Bower expressed his disapproval, stating that Harry and Meghan have undermined the monarchy, and Charles made a terrible mistake by allowing their children to be titled as prince and princess.
Bower believes that the King should have cut them off immediately.
These sentiments echo concerns that Prince Harry’s actions are starting to pose a significant threat to King Charles’ position within the monarchy.
The situation took another unexpected twist when King Charles made a last-minute decision to strip Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of their Sussex titles.
The move was motivated by concerns about their impact on the royal family.
Experts are now debating the implications of this decision, and many are questioning the consequences it may have for Prince Harry’s position within the line of succession.
The removal of any reference to Prince Harry as his royal highness on the royal website has further fueled speculation about his standing within the monarchy.
In fact, more than half of the respondents in a recent poll conducted by the Mail on Sunday supported the idea of removing Prince Harry from the line of succession.
The survey, which included 1,504 individuals, revealed that 52% of participants favored stripping Prince Harry of his position as fifth in line to the throne.
Only 27% opposed the idea, while 21% had no opinion.
Additionally, 51% of those surveyed believed that Prince Harry and his family should have their titles revoked.
These numbers indicate a growing sentiment among the public that Prince Harry’s actions have been detrimental to the royal family and that consequences should follow.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry is still waiting for an apology from King Charles III.
He expressed his desire for the royal family to acknowledge their mistakes and have a genuine conversation rather than dismissing his concerns as delusional and paranoid.
The Duke of Sussex emphasized the need for accountability and an apology to his wife, Meghan Markle.
Contrary to reports, it is unlikely that King Charles expects an apology from Prince Harry.
The royal family has a reputation for being stubborn, and Harry is no exception.
It remains to be seen whether Harry can accept that he won’t receive an apology either, as a close friend of the King and Queen Camilla revealed.
As the debate surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s titles and their impact on the monarchy continues, the future of their relationship with the royal family remains uncertain.
The decisions made by King Charles will undoubtedly shape the dynamics within the monarchy and have long-lasting repercussions.
