The page had recently been revised to reflect Archie's new title as a prince, although Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are no longer referred to as His and Her Royal Highness (HRH) following their departure from royal duties in 2020. Curiously, the page now displays the message 'The requested page could not be found,' leaving royal enthusiasts puzzled.
This move comes in the wake of the recent anointment of Archie's younger sibling, Lilibet Diana, as a princess, a decision made by the Royals. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle issued a statement affirming that the children's titles were rightfully theirs since their grandfather's ascension to the throne.
This decision was reached in collaboration with Buckingham Palace, yet the visible removal of these titles seems to have inadvertently emboldened the couple's desire to voice their opinions and criticisms of the royal family.
The decision to strip Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of their HRH titles back in 2020, when they stepped away from their senior royal roles, appears to have had unintended consequences. According to a Sunday Times Royal editor, this move may have inadvertently empowered the couple, enabling them to engage in battles and speak out more vocally than they ever could have as active members of the monarchy.
In the past few months, Prince Harry has embarked on a truth-telling journey, from the release of the candid Netflix documentary series to his upcoming memoir, "Spare." The book promises a raw and unfiltered account of his experiences, including a physical altercation with his brother, Prince William, in 2019.
While the process of removing Prince Harry's HRH title seems to be underway, Royal author Robert Jobson speculates that his Duke of Sussex title will remain intact. Jobson recently shared insights from a source close to the royal family who asserted that Harry's dukedom would likely remain untouched.
This perspective suggests that, despite demands to strip the couple of their titles, the royal hierarchy may prefer to avoid a contentious public discourse and its potential repercussions.
In 2018, Queen Elizabeth bestowed the title of Duke of Sussex upon Prince Harry upon his marriage to Meghan Markle. Jobson believes that King Charles will likely preserve this title for Harry, even amidst their estrangement.
The source indicates that making such changes could further ignite controversy and upheaval, a scenario that the monarchy may wish to avoid. As the intricate web of royal titles and relationships continues to unfold, the impact of these decisions remains to be seen.
