Meghan Markle will be called Princess Henry if she loses her Duchess of Sussex title, claims royal expert

LONDON, ENGLAND: Meghan Markle will be called Princess Henry should the Sussexes be ever stripped of their royal title.

Of late, it has been rumored that King Charles and his heir, Prince William, had a lengthy discussion in private about stripping Harry and Meghan from their titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine, recently reflected on the speculations and shared that while it is unlikely for them to lose their titles, it would be Princess Henry for Meghan if the necessity arises.

Meghan Markle will be called Princess Henry 

Seward recently spoke with The Royal Beat regarding the situation where the editor-in-chief shared that it will be unlikely King Charles strips Harry and Meghan of the titles the late Queen Elizabeth bestowed upon them during their marriage.

While Harry’s title of Prince is a blood title that he acquired as a son of the monarch, Meghan’s title is an official one.

The royal journalist shared, “I don’t think anything will happen to the titles because, if they lose their titles, Harry is still a prince of the blood and Meghan instead of being the Duchess of Sussex, [would] be Princess Henry,” per The Mirror.

She continued, “That really would [confuse the Americans],” before adding, “I think [it’s] probably best just to leave it because it looks unkind, it looks unnecessary.”

Prince Harry’s birth name has been Prince Henry Charles Albert David but goes by the name of Harry. Per the royal protocol, a princess takes an official title with her husband’s name in case of unavailability of any official title.

However, Seward pointed out that it is unlikely Harry and Meghan - who stepped down from royal duties in 2020 and relocated to California - would find themselves in this position.

The royal editor added, “The Queen gave them the titles, let them keep them – they’re going to be ‘H and M’ anyway.”

“I think the best thing is to leave them, ignore them, and let them get on with it – which is really what the Palace and the Royal Family are doing,” concluded Seward. 

Expert says King Charles and Prince William ‘have had lengthy discussions’

Royal expert Tom Quinn recently shared with The Mirror that Charles and William “have had lengthy discussions about stripping” the couple of their royal titles.

However, he shared that they are unlikely to make a move.

Quinn told The Mirror, “They are terrified this would backfire and make the situation worse,” before adding, “The last thing they want is to give the renegade royals something else to complain about.”

The royal commentator continued, “William and his father know that even without their royal titles Meghan and Harry would carry on traveling the world as if they were royals and most people in the world will still welcome them.”

Internet slams Meghan Markle

The speculations regarding the title led to several hypotheses on the Internet.

One reader commented, "What galls me is that they haven't earned the right to use the titles. Instead of supporting the Monarchy and carrying out duties for the crown, they have spent their energy tarnishing it and grifting off it. Harry has no appreciation of his history. Sad."

Someone else said, "Sad that they get to keep the titles (particularly for the poor people of Sussex) but it doesn’t change a thing. They will always have as much Royal clout and influence as the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. And they will be every bit as welcome wherever they go, assuming they can avoid the tax fraud ..."

"Strip them. Everyone knows they deserve it and few oppose it. What he did to his grandparents alone is unforgivable," said another.

A user chimed in, "If you don’t want to deal with royal duties, why are y’all you always on a publicity tour?"

"She can call herself Princess Henry and everyone in the USA will have a good laugh. Better yet, Princess Henry of Dumbarton. That will be even funnier," said someone else.
