Prince Harry and Potential Loss of Royal Titles
Recently, King Charles removed the prince title from his brother, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, marking an unprecedented change in the royal family. This move could signal further adjustments to royal titles in the near future.
Possible Future Changes Under King William
A palace insider told Page Six that it would not be surprising if Prince William, once king, revoked Prince Harry's title. The source explained:
"If they pass these bills, I would not be surprised if Harry is the next one to go. I would not be surprised if William does that…he’s not a vindictive person, but he feels very let down and it’s always much more difficult when you are let down by somebody close to you."
Broader Impact on Non-Working Royals
According to a source cited by The Daily Beast, King William plans to remove princely titles and the "HRH" (His/Her Royal Highness) honorifics from all non-working members of the royal family. This group potentially includes:
- Prince Harry
- Meghan Markle
- Prince Archie
- Princess Lilibet
- Princess Eugenie
- Princess Beatrice
- Prince George
- Princess Charlotte
- Prince Louis
Context and Significance
These proposed title removals would represent a significant shift in royal protocol and family dynamics, emphasizing the distinction between working royals and others.
