Netflix Docuseries on Duke and Duchess of Sussex Unlikely to Affect Their Royal Titles, Expert Says
The debut of a highly anticipated Netflix docuseries about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has sparked speculation about the future of their royal titles.
However, according to a specialist, King Charles is unlikely to dismiss Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of their titles due to the controversial documentary.
The first three episodes of the series, which promises to reveal the truth behind Harry and Meghan's exile from the royal family, were released on December 8th.
The royal family is now bracing itself for further shocking revelations.
Calls for Harry and Meghan to lose their royal titles have increased in response to the possibility of new claims against the royal family.
Despite the growing pressure, Paul McLaurin, a professor of marketing and consumer research at Royal Holloway University of London, believes that King Charles will not take away the titles of the Sussexes.
McLaurin explained that if the content of the documentary does not warrant such action, Charles is likely to overcome the controversy without stripping them of their titles.
He also emphasized that losing their titles would significantly impact Harry and Meghan's reputation, as they are still considered royals despite no longer using the HRH title.
After stepping down from their senior working roles in 2020, Harry and Meghan signed lucrative contracts with Netflix and Spotify, estimated to be worth over $100 million.
These deals followed disputes within the family and difficulties associated with leading a royal life.
The Netflix docuseries offers an in-depth look into their high-profile love story, directed by Oscar-nominated Liz Garbus.
In the trailer for the series, Harry expressed his desire for the complete truth to be known, mentioning a family hierarchy and the manipulation of lies.
The first episode delves into Harry's early years in the public eye and his romance with Meghan.
Rumors circulated that Harry might criticize his stepmother, Queen Consort Camilla, in the series.
However, Professor McLaurin stated that she did not notice any indication of such critique but acknowledged that Charles would feel compelled to respond if Harry were to make a joke about his wife.
The question remains: Will Charles continue to extend a hand of friendship to Harry and Meghan?
Will he deprive them of their titles and deny their children as well?
Experts predict that Charles will make an effort to interact with them as much as possible.
In his first speech as King, Charles extended an olive branch to his youngest son and daughter-in-law, expressing his support for their life overseas.
While Charles, William, Camilla, and Kate are not expected to watch the series, royal advisors will closely monitor its output and decide how to react.
The second volume of the series is set for release on December 15th.
Simultaneously, the documentary coincided with the distribution of coins featuring Charles' effigy in post offices across the UK.
The Royal Family has continued to carry out their official responsibilities as usual amidst the release of the docuseries.
However, many perceive it as a real threat to the monarchy, facing vehement opposition.
Some individuals have chosen not to watch it, finding it repugnant that Harry and Meghan are profiting from their royal ties.
