Should Harry and Meghan Lose Their Royal Titles After Their Step Down?

In recent years, the British monarchy has faced various controversies and public debates that test the limits of royal privilege and public decency. One of the latest points of contention is the potential removal of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's royal titles, Harry and Meghan, following their controversial step down from their royal duties. A recent survey of 4174 people revealed that a significant 68 percent of respondents believe that Harry and Meghan should indeed have their titles taken away after their decision to step back from royal life and their subsequent move to the United States. This raises the question: what is your stance on this matter, and does stripping them of their titles align with what is best for the monarchy?

Parliament’s Role in Removing Royal Titles

The decision to strip Harry and Meghan of their royal titles has garnered significant attention, with some arguing that Parliament or the Government should take the initiative. While King Charles’s opinion on the matter is presumptively important, stripping their titles without his direct involvement could ensure that the pair cannot profit from their titles in the future. By removing their titles, they could not write more books, make videos, or appear on chat shows, all of which might stem from accusations or grievances directed at the royal family.

Harry’s Disrespectful Actions

Harry’s recent fictional novel has been criticized for its disrespectful portrayal of Camilla, the Queen Consort. Given King Charles’s deep love and respect for his wife, it’s possible that Harry may have crossed a line in his writing, which could exacerbate tensions within the royal family. King Charles's strong, protective stance towards his wife further underscores the importance of maintaining public decorum and respect for royal figures.

The Royal Family’s Desire for Peace

Many have argued that their titles should be removed to bring about a lasting peace for the royal family. Without the constant disruption and scrutiny that comes with their public personas, the royal family could resume their lives without the constant lies and lies from the Sussexes. In the event of a plane crash taking out the Sussexes, some might find it bittersweet, not due to the loss of life, but due to the potential relief for the royal family from further contention.

Future Outlook for Harry and Meghan

In recent years, arguments have been made that stripping their royal titles might be seen as petty and could lead to backlash against the Royal Family. However, given the multiple controversies and public sentiment surrounding Harry and Meghan, it might be time to reconsider this stance. A complete severance from the royal family would ensure that they no longer have a platform to make public statements or affirm their dissatisfaction with the current royal lineup. Specifically, they should be barred from the coronation and any celebrations of Princess Diana in the UK. This move would send a strong signal to the world that their actions have consequences, and they must continue to live their lives without the trappings of royalty in America.

Public Sentiment and Media Reaction

The public sentiment towards Harry and Meghan has been overwhelmingly negative, with scathing comments on social media platforms such as Netflix and YouTube. Most people find them unacceptable and do not wish any harm to them, but they certainly support the royal family's desire to move forward without the constant scrutiny and disruption that the Sussexes bring. The royal family, in the end, must prioritize its own peace and public image over any potential backlash from a monarch's potentially petulant former daughter-in-law and son-in-law.

Ultimately, while the decision to strip Harry and Meghan of their royal titles is complex and controversial, it raises important questions about the role of individuals within royal structures and the public’s expectations of royal behavior. It is a topic worthy of ongoing discussion and reflection as the monarchy continues to evolve and navigate contemporary challenges.
