The Duke of Sussex, now fifth in line to the throne, recently had his His Royal Highness (HRH) titles removed from his name on the official Buckingham Palace website. As noted by royal expert Richard Eden in his piece for the Daily Mail, King Charles is distinguished by his firmness when it comes to Prince Harry and the necessary actions to be taken.
The aftermath of Prince Harry's departure from the Royal Family in 2020, alongside his wife Meghan Markle, has seen a strained relationship between father and son, exacerbated by their candid public remarks about the Royal institution.
The Sussexes' bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, during which they made allegations of racism within the Royal Family, further fueled the tensions. The subsequent release of their Netflix docuseries, "Harry & Meghan," delved into their experiences within the Royal fold.
However, it appears that King Charles's patience reached its limit with the release of Harry's explosive memoir, "Spare," in January. The memoir contained candid revelations about Prince Harry's relationships, including his strained ties with his father and brother. Notably, he referred to his stepmother, now-Queen Camilla, as a 'wicked stepmother.'
This breaking point led King Charles to make a definitive move, evicting Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from their residence at Frogmore Cottage in February. Despite potential claims of the eviction not being directly 'authorized' by King Charles, it was evident that the changes would garner substantial attention.
While the late Queen Elizabeth held onto hope for a reconciliation with Prince Harry and Meghan, King Charles's approach has veered toward a more pragmatic direction. The eviction of the Sussexes, characterized by some as a mere administrative adjustment, carried an element of firmness and practicality.
