Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Merkle are demoted in the royal photo album and been placed right before disgraced royal Prince Andrew (who is listed last), meaning King Charles III has demoted this couple, while there is strong speculation of stripping them off of royal titles and permanently banning them from entering England.
According to media reports, the royal family’s extended mourning period following Queen Elizabeth’s passing has officially ended, meaning changes to royal titles and the royal website are now underway. And while Prince William and Kate Middleton have been promoted on the family’s website to Prince and Princess of Wales, Page Six reports that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been “demoted”.
The outlet notes the Duke and Duchess of Sussexes’ pictures were “pushed all the way down to the bottom of the list”. Turns out the couple used to be listed right below Prince William and Kate Middleton, but were then pushed to directly below Princess Anne after stepping away from senior royal duties. However, in the wake of Charles becoming King, the couple are now at the bottom of the page right before disgraced royal Prince Andrew (who is listed last).
Meanwhile, King Charles III is going to take decision about whether Meghan and Harry’s children, Archie and Lilibet will be able to use their Prince and Princess titles, or have HRH status. British tabloid The Sun said: “Harry and Meghan were worried about the security issue and being prince and princess brings them the right to have certain levels of royal security”.
“There have been a lot of talks over the past week”. The couple are also reportedly “insistent that Archie and Lilibet are prince and princess” but “have been left furious that Archie and Lilibet cannot take the title HRH. That is the agreement—they can be prince and princess but not HRH because they are not working royals”.
Meanwhile, Britons are expressing their support in favor of stripping-off Harry and Meghan of their royal titles, while a large segment of the people are also in favor of banning this couple from entering England in the future.
Here are some public opinion on this issue:
Joe: They should cut Harry and Meghan out completely. They are irrelevant. They are milking their Royal connections to make money. They made a choice to leave Royal life so they should live as normal citizens. They are still able to cash in on their Royal connections which Meghan has wasted no time in taking advantage of that. She was critical of the Royal family and in a hurry to get a naïve to turn his back on his country and family, but is quick to cash in the money-making opportunities which her so called royal status has given her.
Martha: They have moved to another continent, refused to undertake any royal duties, repeatedly criticized the family from which Harry came and wanted to make their own money and run their own lives. They made their bed, now they must lie in it, no longer wanting to be working members of the Firm, they are no longer entitled to any of the perks. Seems fair to me.
Richard: The kids don’t live in the UK and surely will be 100% Americanized. How hilarious to walk around as prince and princess in a country that like MH reject monarchy. At least that seems to be the premise they are trying to make a buck on or is it just that Meghan can’t tolerate her just desserts related to trying to overhaul the firm in her image? Although royalty is traditionally a birthright Harry is apparently not interested in the job which is the only reason you would need a title like that (or Duke and Duchess for that matter) at all. If their children would like to join the Monarchy in the future as working royals living in the UK then talk about retrieving their standing with prince and princess HRH labels.
Hoover: If they wanted the HRH and royal titles so badly, then why did they move to America? We don’t have a monarchy here and they kept insisting that they wanted a normal life. Now they have one and they are still not happy. I’ve heard several of Meghan’s speeches and she doesn’t have anything interesting to say. Her voice and delivery comes across as pretentious and fake. She’s never had a real job other than acting so I wonder what she plans to talk about on her podcast – other than the RF which she criticizes frequently. No wonder William hates her.
Anne: Megan convinced Harry to step away from his Royal duties big, huge mistake. Harry should never have married an actress who does not understand his position in the Royal line. So sad for Harry.
Eric: Harry wants nothing to do with the Royal Family or it’s Duties so why is he still a Prince?
Mia: Nobody should be surprised by this! What did they expect? You now have a nice life, family and lots of money. This is the result of burning bridges…. move on!
Emily Anne: Isn’t that what they wanted when they “opted out” of life as a working royal and moved out of the country and went on television to bad mouth the royal family?
Jon Fuller: They should be removed permanently. Harry knows the rules, yet Meghan thinks the rules shouldn’t apply to her.
Jessie: Of course, Megan wants to meet with the King (without Harry) She is the problem, the town of Sussex wants that title removed from them.. They were using it for all their little attempts to raise money.. They were to support the town of Sussex, visit there, see what the town needed, out of 2 years they were there 52 days.. Poor Harry, he got hooked by a woman who wants all about HER.. Why would she want to do a whole program on their LOVE story.. I hope her little pod’s fail. so sad.
Kathy: Security issue? So, with Harry and Meghan’s millions $$$$$, they can’t afford security for their kids?
Miriam: Who cares you sleep in the bed you made for yourself they deserve each other the whinner and the scheming.
Terry: Charles should’ve stripped that sick family of everything after what they did and will continue to do? kick toxic people out of your life, forgive them, then forget them. Harkle trying to hold back his book until he can insure titles for them all. they don’t deserve any titles.
Elizabeth: Meghan’s profile is placed next to Prince Andrew. Coincidence?
Tadesse: It is not fair for Archie and Lilibet not to be HRH. They should not be punished for their parent’s disagreements with the royal family. They should get exactly the same treatment like prince Williams kids until they are 18 and make their own decision which way to follow.
Ama: Yea! They can now have a basement apartment…LOL…Hope they love California and stay there. Better for all of them.
Cathy: Greedy, self-centered and spoiled rotten couple.
Terry: they need to be banished. A prince with no power and a D list actor. One show wonder. Lol.
Gloria: Meghan Merkle is not British national. She is American, while their children also are going to be American citizen. Why we should allow American nationals use titles of the British royal family? As Harry has married a D-grade actress and model, let him now learn to live the life of an ordinary person. I think, Harry and Meghan should also not get any stake in the wealth of the royal family. They are total disgust.
They not being demoted – they ask to step down from being senior Royals they should have been stripped from all their titles long time ago they said that they don’t want it so why not take it back
