Meghan Markle Could Become ‘Princess Henry’ if Sussexes Lose Royal Titles
In the unlikely event that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex lose their royal titles, Meghan Markle would be known as “Princess Henry.”
Kinsey Schofield, host of the To Di for Daily podcast, explained the process to Fox News Digital.
Schofield said it would take an act of Parliament for that to happen.
“A lot of us feel like Harry and Meghan take advantage of their titles and would like to see them stripped of them, but that’s not a conversation that has happened between King Charles and Prince William in years,” Schofield said.
“Technically, and Charles and William know this, if you strip Harry and Meghan of the Duke and Duchess title… they would revert to being Prince and Princess Henry,” she said. “The prince title cannot be removed. That is Harry’s birthright. It would take an act of Parliament and that is simply not a priority for them at this time.”
“You will still see Harry and Meghan utilizing the prince and princess titles, which are almost more marketable in the United States,” Schofield said.
Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine, told The Royal Beat that it’s unlikely the the couple will be stripped of their royal titles.
“I don’t think anything will happen to the titles because, if they lose their titles, Harry is still a prince of the blood, and Meghan, instead of being the Duchess of Sussex, [would] be Princess Henry,” Seward said, according to the U.K.’s Mirror.
“That really would [confuse the Americans],” said Seward. “I think [it’s] probably best just to leave it because it looks unkind, it looks unnecessary.”
King Charles and Prince William have allegedly considered stripping Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of their titles. However, royal experts told Fox News Digital they don’t believe it.
