This decision marks a departure from convention, as the King made the unprecedented move to revoke the title previously held by Prince Harry and grant it to his dedicated sister, who has demonstrated unwavering commitment to Royal Service throughout the years.
As a result of Anne's unceasing dedication and Prince Harry's family experiencing significant changes, the Monarch bestowed the esteemed honor upon his sibling. Consequently, Princess Anne will now possess two cherished titles, a testament to her enduring devotion and Prince Harry's relinquishment.
In a heartwarming tribute, the official Royal account shared a captivating black and white photograph from their childhood. The image portrayed a young Charles and Anne seated in their prams, basking in the serene surroundings of Clarence House Garden, circa 1951. Another poignant snapshot captured the siblings engaged in conversation during King Charles's recent coronation at Buckingham Palace.
The Royal Family, including the King and Queen Camilla, are not alone in extending their warm wishes to Princess Anne. While Prince Harry retains his prince status, he no longer holds the honorific 'HRH' (His Royal Highness), an alteration previously confirmed by Buckingham Palace in January 2020. The statement clarified that the Sussexes would no longer utilize their 'HRH' titles, given their departure from active royal duties.
Interestingly, the Royal Family's website has recently undergone adjustments, notably removing the 'His Royal Highness' prefix from Prince Harry's name. This alteration came in the aftermath of media coverage highlighting discrepancies in the website's content.
It is noteworthy that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have retained their titles as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, bestowed upon them by the Queen upon their marriage. However, recent developments indicate that titles could potentially be subject to change due to Prince Harry's forthcoming memoir.
In a revealing interview, Prince Harry addressed the topic of his titles when directly asked by Anderson Cooper. The interviewer inquired about the possibility of relinquishing the titles, to which Prince Harry responded with a question of his own, pondering the impact of such an action.
Interestingly, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have refrained from publicly extending birthday wishes to Princess Anne on her 73rd birthday. This absence of public well-wishes aligns with the Royal Family's practice of sharing messages on social media primarily for active members of the monarchy, such as the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children, as well as the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh."
