King Charles Reportedly ‘Refuses’ To Strip Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Of Their Royal Titles

Harry And Meghan Did Not—And Will Not—Renounce Their Titles

Harry and Meghan also offered insight as to why they didn't renounce their royal titles when they stepped down from their duties in 2020 on an episode of 60 Minutes. "And what difference would that make?" Harry asked Anderson Cooper in an episode in response to a question about giving up his Sussex title with his wife.

So it looks like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will forever be the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, whether they—or other members of the royal family—likes it or not.

Royal Fan Reactions

Many royal fans think that Harry and Meghan should be tripped of their titles, after all the negative things they've said and implied about the royal family. "Time for King Charles to step aside. If he can't make tough decisions about his own family, how can he make tough decisions for the country?" one person wrote.

Another person pointed out that it's not even up to King Charles. "The King does not have the authority to remove royal titles, it is determined by and can only be determined by an enactment of Parliament."

"At this point, it's up to Parliament as to whether or not they keep the Duke and Duchess of Sussex," another person agreed.

"If anything H&M keeping their royal titles makes them look ridiculous given all their complaints about the Royal Family and how they were treated by them," another royal fan posted.

"Parliament can, and should strip them of those titles. They’re not working royals, remember?" a final fan said.
