Buckingham Palace Removes Harry’s HRH Title on Royal Website

Buckingham Palace has made a significant announcement regarding Prince Harry's future position in the royal family.

Following the agreement made with Buckingham Palace after Megxit, Prince Harry's title of His Royal Highness (HRH) has been quietly removed from his biography on the royal family's website.

This move comes as no surprise, as it aligns with the palace's decision that neither Harry nor Meghan Markle will use their HRH titles after stepping down as senior members of the royal family.

The change in Harry's title on the website reflects the gradual approach taken by the British royal family to remove his privileges.

Instead of an abrupt removal, the palace has opted for a slow, calculated process to avoid causing a media frenzy.

By gradually shedding away the Harkles-Royal connection, the palace aims to erase Harry and Meghan's titles without drawing excessive attention.

Prince Harry, now referred to strictly as the Duke or the Duke of Sussex, received this title from Queen Elizabeth II in 2018 following his marriage to Meghan Markle.

While Harry had previously insisted on being referred to as HRH during his testimony in a London court in June, the change on the website indicates that the couple is honoring their promise not to use their HRH standings.

According to an official statement issued on January 18, 2020, the Sussexes will not use their HRH titles as they are no longer working members of the royal family.

However, despite this announcement, both Harry and Meghan have been referred to by their titles on certain sections of the website over the past three years.

The next step in this gradual removal process is to completely remove Harry and his children from the line of succession.

A source close to Buckingham Palace reveals that the Sussexes no longer appear as HRH on the website, leaving them with fewer titles than they had in 2019.

This means that they will not be able to use the HRH designation outside of palace events, and even at royal events, Meghan will have to bow to Camilla, Kate, Sophie, and Charlotte.

Furthermore, their children will also not hold the HRH title.

The change on the website, though slow to occur, indicates that there is no prospect of rehabilitation for the Harkles.

It is clear that they are still out of the royal family and will remain so.

Notably, Harry's profile page on the royal family landing page has been moved down, now positioned near the bottom of the list, below working members of the firm.

The pages of Harry and Meghan sit side by side, appearing after those of the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and Princess Alexandra, with Prince Andrew's page at the very bottom.

In conclusion, Buckingham Palace's decision to remove Prince Harry's HRH title from the royal website is a significant step in distancing him from his previous role within the royal family.

The gradual approach taken by the palace aims to minimize media attention while gradually erasing Harry and Meghan's titles.

With the next step being their removal from the line of succession, it is evident that the Harkles' royal connection is diminishing, leaving them with fewer titles than before.
