A recent development has sparked calls for Rishi Sunak to back a vital move that would stop Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from becoming King and Queen. Prince Harry is fifth in line to the throne, and some people are worried about what would happen if a tragedy struck both the King and Prince William’s family. In that case, Prince Harry would have to take over the crown.
According to a report by Express, the proposed Bill by Bob Seely, if backed by the government, would strip Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of their titles and privileges, a move that has gained traction due to their decision to step back from royal duties. Daily Mail’s diary editor, Richard Eden, emphasized the urgency of addressing this issue, stating that the prospect of “King Henry and Queen Meghan” needs to be carefully considered.
The controversy surrounding the royal couple has been fueled by bombshell interviews, documentaries, and Prince Harry’s revealing memoir, “Spare.” These actions have led to a growing chorus of voices advocating for the removal of their titles. Omid Scobie’s recent book, “Endgame,” further intensified the situation by exposing damaging information that has thrown Buckingham Palace into crisis.
Despite the mounting pressure to strip Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of their titles, royal editor Rebecca English dismisses the possibility, citing an insider who assured that Prince Charles would never take such a drastic step. According to English, Charles respects the titles bestowed by Queen Elizabeth and considers it inappropriate to strip his son and daughter-in-law of their titles, as it would be perceived as punitive and humiliating.
Richard Kay, Daily Mail’s editor at large, concurs with English, stating that there is no chance Prince Charles would take such action against his son. Kay adds that even if their titles were removed, Meghan would likely adopt the title of Princess Harry, aligning with her husband’s status as a born prince.
Despite these calls for title removal, it seems unlikely that King Charles III would endorse such a move. The monarch is reportedly keen on fostering friendlier relations with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and is eager to see his grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The King has subtly hinted at inviting the couple to join the royals at Sandringham for Christmas, an invitation the Sussexes would reportedly accept, though no official invites have been extended yet.
The debate over whether Prince Harry and Meghan Markle should be blocked from the throne is a complex and contentious issue. While some argue for the removal of their titles, others, including insiders and royal experts, believe it would be an unlikely and impractical move. The intricate dynamics within the royal family and the potential impact on public perception make this a nuanced and challenging decision for King Charles III and the British government.
