Prince Harry quizzed on why he won’t renounce royal titles

There’s been talk of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Duke and Duchess of Sussex, being stripped of their royal titles as a result of their perceived involvement in the Omid Scobie scandal.

Conservatie MP Bob Seely has proposed a bill, adapted from laws originally passed during WWI, where German nobles were denied their titles, reports The Guardian.

The Royal Family released an explainer video via their official YouTube channel, saying: “Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s titles could be stripped if a new bombshell law is passed.”

Adding: “Conservative MP Bob Seely wants Parliament to consider the ‘nuclear option’ of denying the couple their Duke and Duchess rank.”

King Charles has no plans of stripping his son, nor his daughter-in-law, of their titles, it’s been said. But, if the bill is passed, it may not be up to the King, rather the government, suggests The Independent, writing, “His Bill would force MPs to consider turning Harry and Meghan into Mr and Mrs Sussex as pressure mounts on the couple over revelations in the new book Endgame, by royal author Omid Scobie.”

The RF video says: “He argued that they shouldn’t keep their titles and privileges ‘if they trash an institution that plays an important part in our nation’s life.’”

“Mr. Seely’s campaign comes amid two Royal Family members being named by a Dutch book publisher for allegedly making racist remarks. The Duke and Duhcess have remained silent on which royals made comments about the skin colour of their unborn child.”

“The bill will be presented in the coming weeks in a bid to change Harry and Meghan’s title to Mr and Mrs. The proposed bill is unlikely to make progress through Parliament due to lack of time to consider it.”

Royals expert and commentator, Jennie Bond sharers her insight on the bill: “The bill put forward by [MP] Bob Seely hasn’t been selected for the Private Members Bill ballot so it’s not going anywhere at the moment. It is though interesting that the social media rumblings about stripping the Sussexes of their titles has reached Parliament,” reports OK!

Mr. Seely wrote in an op-ed, which ran in The Times, “The Duke and Duchess can be Mr and Mrs like the rest of us.”

“The sooner the Duke and Duchess become just Mr and Mrs Sussex, the better for us all.”

Just last week, Rebecca English spoke about this very same topic, saying, “I think what’s interesting, I spoke to somebody and asked, ‘do you think anything, this, would prompt the King to do that?’

“And their reply was very firmly, ‘no, he will never strip of their titles. Never, never, never.’

“They were given to them by Queen Elizabeth, out of respect he wouldn’t.”
