However, there's a significant twist in this decision, as the titles will be bestowed upon Sir Timothy Lawrence, the husband of Princess Anne and a highly regarded non-royal member of the monarchy known for his unwavering commitment to royal duties.
According to Robert Jobson's new book, the decision to strip Prince Harry's title is being discussed at the highest level, likely due to his stepping back from royal duties and his criticisms of the royal family on-screen. While Harry's Prince title is his birthright and cannot be taken away, the Duke of Sussex title was a gift from Her Majesty upon his marriage to Meghan in 2018. The couple has faced suggestions of losing their titles since they decided to step down from their royal roles and move to California.
This decision has sparked controversy and chaos in Montecito, where Harry and Meghan currently reside. In a recent video for the Responsible Technology Youth Power Fund, the couple referred to themselves as Harry and Meghan, not using their royal titles, which has raised questions about their status. Some speculate that this could indicate a transition away from their royal roles, while others believe their titles have been fully stripped.
The video, shared on RTPYF's social media account, shows Meghan wearing a camel sleeveless top and matching skirt, along with minimalist earrings. Meghan opens up about feeling constant pressure not to overshadow the late Queen or other senior royals, explaining her choice of attire. However, some royal fans have noted that her attempt to copy Princess Catherine's look has not been received well.
Critics also question the authenticity of their charitable acts, arguing that genuine charity work does not require filming and broadcasting interactions with recipients. The couple's stance against cyberbullying has also been called into question, with reminders of Meghan's past alleged bullying incidents.
As tensions rise and discussions continue about the Sussex titles, the future remains uncertain for Harry and Meghan, and the decision has left the public divided over the implications of this significant royal move.
