Title: No Stripping of Titles for Harry and Meghan, Says King Charles III
Prince Harry (39) and Duchess Meghan (42) are seemingly in the clear when it comes to facing any punitive actions from the royal family. According to unnamed sources in the Daily Mail, King Charles III (75) has no intention of stripping his youngest son and his wife of their titles. This decision comes amid renewed turmoil in the palace due to ongoing accusations from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
The allegations have been causing a stir since early 2020, when Harry and Meghan stepped down from their roles as working members of the royal family and moved to the United States. Since then, they have voiced criticisms against the royal family in interviews, a Netflix documentary, and Harry's memoir "Spare." These moves have led to calls for the royals to officially cut ties with the couple and remove their titles.
Despite this, Charles is reportedly hesitant to humiliate his son and daughter-in-law, apparently holding a belief that punishment is not an effective approach. Even as Buckingham Palace considers various options in response to recent events, the insiders confirm that stripping the titles is "off the table." The source emphasized that "it's just not something that's being considered."
As a result, Harry and Meghan continue to use their titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex, although they have been prohibited from referring to themselves as "His Royal Highness" or "Her Royal Highness" following their departure for California. Queen Elizabeth II had made this decree after the separation. The couple have not visited Sussex County since 2018, further adding to the speculation regarding their standing in the royal family.
A new book by royal expert Omid Scobie, which reportedly offers access to Prince Harry and Meghan's inner circle, has recently stirred up more controversy. The sale of "Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy's Fight for Survival" was halted in the Netherlands after allegations emerged that the translated version contained comments made by members of the royal family about the children's skin color.
Harry and Meghan had previously discussed these allegations in a 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey but did not disclose any specific names. Scobie has since denied any knowledge of the names and has claimed that they were not provided by anyone close to the couple. The Duchess of Sussex's alleged letter to Charles, which allegedly mentioned two specific names, has been the subject of speculation, with her sources insisting to the Telegraph that her intention was never to make these names public.
