Major royal family news hit the internet on October 30 when King Charles officially stripped his brother, Prince Andrew, of his royal titles. “His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew,” the palace\u00a0said in the statement<\/a>. “Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.”<\/p>\n

The decision came more than six years after allegations that Andrew had ties to Jeffrey Epstein first surfaced.\u00a0Per\u00a0Us Weekly<\/a>, King Charles sought legal guidance and discussed the decision with other members of the royal family before moving forward. And while Andrew’s character is certainly questionable, others are questioning if any other red-faced royals might have their titles on the chopping block as well.<\/p>\n

Some royal watchers are wondering if Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will lose their titles.<\/h2>\n

Of course, there are a number of different reasons that a royal family member could lose their titles, though the most common reason seems to be divorce. Princess Diana was no longer able to use \u201cHer Royal Highness\u201d<\/a> after she and Charles split in 1996. The same went for Andrew\u2019s wife, Sarah Ferguson.<\/p>\n

But the question on everyone’s mind is really will Harry and Meghan\u2019s titles be next to go? So far the estranged Prince Harry and his Hollywood lifestyle has been given a pass when it comes to his family’s titles. They certainly haven’t been given a pass when it comes to the British tabloids, however.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nothing sells quite like a royal scandal, however. And although Harry and Meghan aren’t criminals, royal fans are wondering if King Charles will keep the title-slashing momentum going and just cut royal ties with his youngest son, too.<\/p>\n

Harry and Meghan are no longer working members of the royal family<\/h3>\n

When Harry and Meghan made the decision to step down as senior working members of the royal family and move out of the U.K., Queen Elizabeth II did not strip them of their royal titles, though the decision was made that the couple would forgo the use of \u201cHis or Her Royal Highness.\u201d<\/p>\n

There has been a great deal of chatter surrounding Harry and Meghan\u2019s ongoing use of their Duke and Duchess titles, but many believe that any such move wouldn\u2019t happen until Prince William becomes king. In a recent interview with Eugene Levy for his AppleTV+ show “The Reluctant Traveler<\/a>,” the Crown Prince wasn’t shy about his intent to make royal waves, as it were, when he inevitably takes the throne.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Of course, what those big changes are remains to be seen, but speculation is flying. \u201cHe hasn\u2019t said it publicly, but the things he\u2019s said in this interview, this big emphasis on how he will change things, is certainly being seen by a lot of people as him all but coming out and confirming that cutting Harry and Meghan completely loose is part of the plan,\u201d a source\u00a0told the\u00a0National Examiner<\/a> earlier this month.<\/p>\n

One could argue that Harry and Meghan don\u2019t need royal titles, since they are no longer part of the royal family in any meaningful way beyond blood relation. Couple that with William and Harry\u2019s ongoing rift, and it\u2019s entirely possible changes could be coming down the pike.<\/p>\n

People seem fairly split on whether or not King Charles or the future King William would (or should) make the move.<\/h3>\n

\u201cI don’t love Harry and Meghan BUT they should not have their titles stripped. William will have enough work to do when he takes over. That division is no way the same as Andrew’s alleged criminal behaviour. Let them enjoy their lives in California,\u201d one person weighed in on the topic on TikTok<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf they keep spreading lies, then their titles need to go,\u201d someone else said.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s been talk of a slimmed-down monarchy.<\/h3>\n

Since before King Charles took the throne, there have been rumors that he was in favor of a slimmed-down monarchy. This suggested that he\u2019d be keeping his immediate family close and perhaps cutting others out of his inner circle. It\u2019s something that\u2019s been widely debated, and not everyone has been on board with the idea.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, it doesn\u2019t sound like a good idea from where I\u2019m standing,\u201d Princess Anne said during an interview with\u00a0CBC News<\/a> in May 2023. \u201cI\u2019d say I\u2019m not sure quite what else we can do.\u201d She added jovially, \u201cI think the slimmed-down was said in a day when there were a few more people around.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, it seems as though Princess Anne would be on board with stripping Harry and Meghan of their titles if the rumors about her feelings on Megxit are true.\u00a0According to\u00a0Radar Online<\/a>, Anne isn\u2019t thrilled with Harry and Meghan\u2019s decision to walk away from royal life. \u201cAnne isn’t inclined to get involved in Harry’s issues. She feels it’s not her role \u2014 he decided to step away from royal duties, and with that choice, she believes, he also gave up the backing that comes with the family,\u201d a source recently told the outlet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
