There is a threat looming over the royal titles of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. After leaving the firm in 2020, the couple was stripped of His Royal Highness and Her Royal Highness titles while they retained their Sussex titles. Various reports suggested that King Charles III was waiting to see the content of Netflix docuseries and Prince Harry’s memoir Spare before taking a final decision on the titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

After the release of the bombshell show Harry & Meghan, there has been a demand in the United Kingdom to strip Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of their Sussex titles. Monarchists are of the opinion that the California-based royals are monetizing the titles. However, it might come as a surprise that if not Duchess, Markle will hold another royal title. Neither the UK parliament nor the royal members can ever take away a particular royal title from the Sussexes.

Which royal title does Meghan Markle hold apart from the Duchess of Sussex?

The royal author Ingrid Seward revealed that the Duke of Sussex will always be a prince because of his bloodline. Thus, his wife, Meghan Markle, holds the title of Princess Henry. Notably, Prince Harry’s real name is Henry and thus Markle will be Princess Henry and not Princess Harry. She also believes that it will look unkind and unnecessary to take away the titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth II gave their grandson and the former American actress the Sussex titles, following their grand wedding in 2018.

“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. That really would confuse the Americans,” the royal writer Seward said, as per Express

Further, Ingrid Seward also stressed the perfect way to deal with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The royal expert believes that the people should ignore the claims and accusations by the Sussexes just like the royal family is doing. Interestingly, the Palace has refused to react to Harry & Meghan.
