King Charles<\/a> was urged to strip Prince Harry<\/a> and Meghan Markle<\/a> of their titles and \u201cend the theatre\u201d after the couple\u2019s latest pseudo-royal tour in Jordan. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex spent two days in the country of the Middle East<\/a>, meeting Jordanian leaders and senior health officials, engaging with WHO teams, visiting frontline health and mental health programmes and meeting World Central Kitchen staff coordinating food relief for Gaza from Amman.<\/p>\n Their visit aimed to highlight the humanitarian efforts of the Jordanian authorities and a range of agencies supporting the health and wellbeing of Syrians and Palestinians who have sought sanctuary in Jordan over the decades. But their visit was savaged by a royal commentator<\/a> who described it as \u201cchaos masquerading as moral authority\u201d.<\/p>\n Lee Cohen, a US-based columnist\/royal and foreign policy commentator blasted: \u201cAt a time when the monarchy faces serious reputational pressure, the last thing the Royal Family needs are two royal turncoats jetting to the volatile Middle East, exploiting titles they have abandoned in spirit but cling to in practice, and staging a parallel court for relevance and personal glorification.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n He said that the Sussexes \u201cabandoned duty and service\u201d but they did not abandon the \u201ctrappings of rank\u201d which give \u201cweight to their vanity projects\u201d.<\/p>\n The expert said that while the visit was undertaken at the invitation of the World Health Organisation, it was just \u201ctheatre\u201d and \u201ccarefully curated imagery\u201d.<\/p>\n Mr Cohen wrote for GB News<\/a>: \u201cThe duo [Harry and Meghan] generate attention without authority, spectacle without responsibility, disruption without mandate.<\/p>\n \u201cThey insist they are private citizens. Very well. Then relinquish the public instruments of rank. A duke conducting freelance diplomacy is constitutional nonsense, a recipe<\/a> for confusion abroad and embarrassment at home. Titles are not props. They are instruments of the state.\u201d<\/p>\n He added: \u201cAs long as Prince Harry<\/a> and Meghan Markle<\/a> retain their titles, every overseas appearance carries an implied endorsement. That is not opinion \u2014 it is a consequence. And Britain must not continue embowering a frivolous brand masquerading as a monarchy.<\/p>\n Ensure our latest royal headlines always appear at the top of your Google Search by making us a Preferred Source. <\/strong>Click here to activate<\/a><\/strong> or just add us as Preferred Source in your Google search settings.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThe remedy is obvious. Strip the titles. Remove the privileges. End the theatre.<\/p>\n \u201cIf they wish to operate as entertainers of influencers, they may do so \u2014 but only as private citizens. No coronet. No rank. No implied authority.\u201d<\/p>\n He also warned that the monarchy \u201ccannot survive\u201d with \u201cperpetual self-promotion under inherited rank,\u201d concluding that: \u201cThe time for indulgence of this rogue pair has long passed.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
