Most Brits want Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stripped of HRH titles after his bombshell BBC interview

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Prince Harry’s pity parade just took another embarrassing turn. The Duke of Sussex lit the fuse during a BBC interview, where he claimed that his father, King Charles, “won’t speak to me” and that he’s the poor victim of an “establishment stitch-up.” 

Harry even suggested the royal household tampered with his ongoing fight to get his UK police protection back. But both Buckingham Palace and the government were quick to swat that claim down.

Officials flatly dismissed his demand that Home Secretary Yvette Cooper urgently investigate the committee that downgraded his security, with insiders reminding everyone that the body in question is supposed to be independent from political influence.

Meanwhile, palace sources weren’t exactly thrilled with his TV tantrum. One insider noted that Harry’s choice to mention his father’s cancer — saying he “doesn’t know how much longer he has left” — was in particularly poor taste. 

Things aren't looking up for Prince Harry

A Daily Mail poll recently poured cold water all over Prince Harry’s sob story. According to the survey by Find Out Now, a whopping 64% of voters sided with King Charles, while only 36% backed Harry. 

The poll also showed that the public is over it when it comes to the Sussexes and their royal perks. Most respondents said it’s high time Harry and Meghan were stripped of their HRH titles. Meghan’s still been using hers in private despite the couple’s agreement not to.

The palace is also fuming at the BBC for letting Harry’s outrageous claims air with no real pushback. According to insiders, the broadcaster let him ramble on about conspiracies without so much as a follow-up question.

After the judges ruled against Harry in court, he suggested the royal family had secretly influenced the committee, officially known as RAVEC, which decides who gets protection.

He said he was “stunned” to learn two key royal aides sit on the committee, and told the BBC he’d ask the Home Secretary “to look at this very, very carefully.”

But a government rep clapped back. “All members work together to advise the independent chair on the protective security of the royal family and key public figures," they said. "These decisions have been taken by RAVEC, not the Home Secretary.”

Meanwhile, a royal source clarified that the aides have no “advocacy” role and are just there to “advise on what the royals are up to.”

Prince Harry says he's been 'singled out'

The BBC later admitted it botched the interview coverage, calling it a “lapse” in editorial standards. The network confessed, “Claims were repeated that the process had been ‘an Establishment stitch-up’ and we failed to properly challenge this and other allegations.”

They also failed to include the Home Office’s statement. “We are pleased that the court has found in favour of the Government’s position… The UK Government’s protective security system is rigorous and proportionate," the department said, adding, “All of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion.”

But Harry wasn’t done. He insisted he’d never bring Prince Archie or Princess Lilibet back to Britain. “The other side won in keeping me unsafe,” he complained after England’s second-most senior judge slapped down his appeal.

He even suggested that royal security protocols were used “to imprison” family members, preventing them “from being able to choose a different life.” This is despite having a $14 million mansion in Montecito and million-dollar deals with Spotify and Netflix.

“It’s really quite sad that I won’t be able to show my children my homeland,” he lamented.

Royal biographer lashes out at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

While Prince Harry was pouring out his grievances, royal biographer AN Wilson went scorched earth. “You keep thinking, ‘Meghan and Harry can’t get any worse.’ And then they do,” he told the Daily Mail.

Wilson said Harry, once a “largely popular, merry prince who served his country in Afghanistan with courage and good humour,” is now “estranged from the British public.”

"Now, he is a humourless whinger, adrift from his former friends and speaks in the Californian psychobabble that Meghan has picked up among her ghastly Montecito neighbours," he explained. "It cannot continue. The King should strip them of the right to dignify themselves by their royal titles."

Wilson argued the Sussexes should lose not just their HRH status but also their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles altogether.

“They should become simply Mr and Mrs Windsor,” he said, “Free to sink into their pathetic, unloved, sunlit exile, and the decades of pointless boredom that stretch ahead – a hell entirely of their own making.”

Friday’s ruling didn’t just end his legal bid — he also has to foot massive legal bills for both sides. Harry had previously insisted this case “mattered the most.”
