After the various controversies surrounding ex-Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, sources believe Meghan Markle and Prince Harry face the risk of losing their royal titles. The news comes after Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in office. Andrew Lonnie, a royal biographer, believes the fallout could affect the Sussexes too. Sources say that the royal titles have always been “tied to service.” Now that the Sussexes have stepped down as working royals, their titles could be in jeopardy.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry might lose Royal titles after Ex-Prince Andrew, says source
The British monarchy could see a major change after the arrest of ex-Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Radar Online reports that a royal biographer believes that titles could be removed from anyone who is not in an “active working role.” He added that the royal family will “deal with the Andrew and Harry problem at the same time.”
Sources believe that the recent controversies could prompt the royal family to implement reforms. This could include limiting royal titles to those who are actively engaged in official duties. As a result, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s titles and privileges could also be affected.
As per a senior palace advisor, “titles were historically tied to service.” The advisor further suggests that holding a royal title meant that the person was expected to perform visible work to support the Crown and the country. However, when a person no longer serves in that role, it’s reasonable for the royal institution to consider whether they should keep the title forever.
A constitutional expert explained that discussions were already going on about who would count as a working royal. However, Andrew’s arrest has sped up plans to reform the monarchy.
This could affect Harry and Markle, who stepped down as senior working royals in 2020 but continue to use their titles.
An expert explained, “If titles are reserved strictly for those carrying out official duties, it would mark a decisive shift – and a very public statement that status within the royal family is conditional on service, not simply birthright.”
