Last week, the royal world was rocked by Omid Scobie’s tell-all book, “Endgame,” which ignited a crisis and reignited the debate on whether Prince Harry and Meghan Markle should be stripped of their royal titles.
Tory MP Bob Seeley, representing the Isle of Wight, has taken the charge and boldly presented his case in the Mail on Sunday.
His proposed “Deprivation, 1917 Act Amendment Bill” aims to grant Parliament the power to advise the Privy Council to remove the royal titles of any member who tarnishes the institution.
Seeley argues that if someone no longer wants to be part of the royal family, they should not retain their titles and privileges while criticizing the monarchy, an integral part of the nation’s identity.
This move, as Seeley puts it, is a nuclear option that has sent shockwaves throughout the kingdom.
However, drama enthusiasts should hold their excitement for a moment.
Richard Palmer, the royal correspondent for the Daily Express, pours cold water on the fervor, stating that despite Seeley’s calls, Harry and Meghan will not lose their titles without the support of the King and the UK government.
For now, neither Charles III nor Rishi Sunak back such a move.
The process of stripping royal titles requires new legislation and the approval of lawmakers.
Seeley aims to adapt laws from World War I, which were used to target German nobles and strip them of their British titles.
If successful, this would transform the Duke and Duchess of Sussex into Mr. and Mrs.
The catalyst for this call to strip titles stems from the fallout of Scobie’s “Endgame,” where two royals were allegedly implicated in a race row concerning the color of Prince Archie’s skin.
While Scobie denies naming these individuals, the Dutch edition of his book revealed their identities.
Translator Saskia Peeters insists that the names were already present in the text, prompting the swift removal of the Dutch publication from sale.
Currently, Buckingham Palace is in a contemplative state, considering all options following this scandalous fallout.
Will Harry and Meghan be banished from the royal kingdom, or is this just another act in the ongoing drama?
The complexity of the situation lies in the fact that stripping royal titles requires new legislation and the support of lawmakers.
It is not a decision that can be made lightly.
Seeley’s proposed bill seeks to adapt laws from World War I, which targeted German nobles and stripped them of their British titles.
However, the support of King Charles III and the UK government is crucial for any such move to take place.
At present, neither the King nor Rishi Sunak, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, back Seeley’s proposal.
The fallout from Scobie’s book has added fuel to the fire.
Allegations of racism within the royal family, particularly regarding the color of Prince Archie’s skin, have caused a stir.
While Scobie denies naming the individuals involved, the Dutch edition of his book revealed their identities.
Translator Saskia Peeters insists that the names were already present in the text, leading to the swift removal of the Dutch publication from sale.
Buckingham Palace is currently contemplating the best course of action in light of this scandalous fallout.
Will Harry and Meghan face repercussions, or will this be just another chapter in the ongoing royal drama?
