Conservative MP Plans to Introduce Bill to Remove Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Titles
In a surprising turn of events, Conservative MP Bob Seeley is set to introduce a bill aiming to remove the Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Despite stepping down from the Royal family three years ago and losing their HR status, the couple has retained their prestigious titles.
However, only Parliament has the authority to revoke such titles, despite the Queen having the power to bestow them.
Seeley, who represents the Isle of Wight, has been critical of the Sussexes in the past.
He accused Prince Harry of attacking important British institutions and criticized him for publicly trashing his own family and capitalizing on his personal struggles.
In a tweet last December, Seeley expressed his opinion that Prince Harry should voluntarily relinquish his titles.
If he fails to do so, Seeley believes that Parliament should take action to remove them.
According to royal commentator Jonathan Sasserdoti, Seeley plans to draft a private member's bill, which is expected to be introduced sometime in mid-February.
This bill would allow for a vote to amend the 1917 Titles Deprivation Act, a law previously used to strip the German royal family of their UK titles during the First World War.
It is remarkable that an MP feels so strongly about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's actions that he wishes to use the same law to remove their titles.
The decision to potentially strip the Sussexes of their titles has sparked a debate among the public.
Some argue that the couple's actions have warranted such consequences, while others believe that they should be allowed to retain their titles.
The fact that an MP is taking this matter into his own hands demonstrates the level of concern and dissatisfaction with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's behavior.
It is important to note that removing their titles would not sever their ties to the Royal family entirely.
However, it would significantly diminish their status and privileges within the monarchy.
This move would send a strong message about the consequences of publicly criticizing and distancing oneself from British institutions.
