Harry and Meghan may lose their royal titles soon
The Notorious Royal Couple Prince Harry and Meghan May Face Title Stripping
The notorious royal couple Prince Harry and Meghan may have finally bitten off more than they can chew. According to U.K.’s Daily Mail, Conservative MP Bob Seely has proposed legislation to strip the couple of their titles as the “Duke and Duchess of Sussex.”
Seely’s legislation aims to adapt laws from the First World War that were used to deny enemy German nobles their British titles. If passed, the legislation would force the Commons to consider turning Harry and Meghan into plain Mr and Mrs Sussex. This comes at a time when the couple is under mounting pressure to address incendiary claims made by author Omid Scobie.
Seely’s move follows another race row sparked by the couple regarding comments made in the Dutch translation of the latest royal book “Endgame.” The book alleged that King Charles III and Princess of Wales, Kate, made comments about the possible skin color of the couple’s firstborn son Archie.

Seely argues that the couple has attempted to weaponize racism to smear the royal family in a “possibly insidious” manner. He believes that throwing accusations of racism is a damaging insult that leaves a whiff of stigma, especially when it cannot be proven.
Seely’s proposed legislation, named “a Bill to amend [the Act] to deprive in certain circumstances Princes of their British Dignities and Titles,” cites a 1917 Act passed during the First World War to empower the Privy Council to take actions against British nobles suspected of aiding the enemy.
If the House of Commons and the House of Lords fail to table an opposition motion within a 40-day deadline, the recommendation to strip the couple of their titles will be passed on to the king, resulting in a permanent loss of their titles. Despite leaving the country and giving up their royal duties and responsibilities, Harry and Meghan still hold their titles.
“The sooner the Duke and Duchess become just Mr and Mrs Sussex, the better for us all,” Seely added.

What concerns have been raised about the intentions and motives of Harry and Meghan in light of the allegations in Scobie’s book and previous controversies?
The couple’s continued involvement in controversies and their failure to address the claims made in Scobie’s book is detrimental to the image and reputation of the British royal family. He believes that stripping them of their royal titles is a necessary action to protect the integrity of the monarchy.
The allegations made in Scobie’s book, along with previous controversies surrounding Harry and Meghan, have raised concerns about the couple’s intentions and motives. Some critics argue that they are using their royal status for personal gain and promoting their own agendas, rather than acting in the best interest of the monarchy and the British people.
Seely’s proposal highlights the historical precedent of stripping titles from enemy nobles during times of war. While the circumstances surrounding Harry and Meghan are different, Seely argues that the principle remains the same. If they are disassociated from their royal titles, it would effectively separate them from the institution they have been using as a platform.
The move to strip Harry and Meghan of their titles also comes at a time when they are facing criticism for their lucrative deals, such as their partnership with Spotify. Critics argue that the couple is taking advantage of their royal status to secure high-profile contracts, behaving more like opportunistic “grifters” than members of the royal family.
The proposal by Seely has sparked a debate about the role and relevance of the monarchy in modern-day Britain. It raises questions about the criteria for retaining royal titles and whether members of the royal family should be held to a higher standard of conduct and responsibility.
In response to the proposal, supporters of Harry and Meghan argue that the couple should be allowed to retain their titles and continue their work outside the monarchy. They believe that the couple’s activism and advocacy for important social issues outweigh any controversy they may have been involved in.
Ultimately, the decision to strip Harry and Meghan of their titles lies in the hands of the British government and the monarchy. It will require a significant debate and consideration of the potential consequences. Whatever the outcome may be, it is clear that the controversy surrounding the notorious royal couple is far from over.
