Prince Harry on ‘healing journey’ as he promotes Invictus Games

Prince Harry should be removed from the line of succession altogether amid a back-and-forth over his title, according to a royal expert.

Richard Eden slammed the move to quietly remove the Duke’s “His Royal Highness” title as petty and trivial while speaking on the Palace Confidential podcast.

“This is very minor, very trivial. They should be going much further. What actually matters is that he’s still in the line of succession,” the Daily Mail’s diary editor said on the show.

He added: “God forbid if something was to happen to the Royal Family, he would become our King.”

Prince Harry is currently fifth in line to the throne behind his brother Prince William as well as his children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, something Mr Eden believes needs to change. Meghan Markle and Princess Kate are not in line to the throne.

“Why not remove him? … It’s ridiculous to be doing petty things to the website – deal with the big things and make the big changes that matter,” he said.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry retained their HRH titles but were unable to use them following their decision to split with the Royal Family in 2020.

Since the break, things appear to have got more heated after the Sussexes released a series of projects detailing their lives in the Firm and levelling accusations at the Royal Family.

The decision to alter the Buckingham Palace website comes three years after the split while there appears to be little chance of reconciliation between the two sides of the family. At least for now.

Earlier this year Prince Harry released his tell-all memoir Spare which slammed members of the Royal Family increasing tensions. In December last year, Meghan and the Duke released a six-part Netflix docuseries detailing their relationship, marriage and subsequent split from the Firm. Both projects were said to ruffle feathers at the Palace.
