Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may not fear losing their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles. Instead, the couple could see such a move as a chance to strengthen their public image. Sources claim they believe it could turn them into victims of another royal conflict. The situation could create another major clash between the Sussexes and the palace.
Sources reveal how The Sussexes might use the lost title to their advantage
According to Naughty But Nice, sources believe Harry and Meghan would welcome a decision by King Charles to remove their titles.
“They’d become martyrs overnight,” a royal insider claimed. The source said the couple could tell the world that the palace was bullying them again. “It’s the fight they want!” the insider added.
The couple reportedly believe Harry’s royal status would remain intact even if they lost their dukedom. “Harry was born a prince. Taking away a dukedom doesn’t erase Harry’s birthright,” a source told Naughty But Nice.
Harry’s mother, Princess Diana, offers a point of comparison. After her 1996 divorce from then-Prince Charles, Diana lost her HRH style but retained the title Diana, Princess of Wales.
An insider claimed Harry believes the palace could make a similar mistake with him and Meghan. “Diana lost HRH, but she didn’t lose her identity or her public appeal,” the source explained. Diana remained a prominent public figure after losing her HRH status.
The insider also claimed that removing the Sussexes’ titles could give them a new reason to criticize the royal family.
The report also suggests that King Charles could face an unexpected public relations problem if he acted. “Charles may think stripping the titles would hurt them. They could turn it into the ultimate publicity gift,” a source claimed.
The insider added, “You can take away a title, but you can’t take away the story they’d tell about it.”
For now, the claims remain source-based speculation about how Harry and Meghan might respond if the King ever moved to remove their titles.
