Pressure Mounts on Harry and Meghan as Petition Calls for Removal of Titles
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Harry and Meghan, are facing mounting pressure as a petition organized by the people of Sussex calls for the removal of their titles.
The residents of Sussex have voiced their discontent, questioning why the couple should retain their titles when they no longer represent or support the county.
This sentiment has gained traction on social media, with many expressing their agreement.
One Twitter user highlighted the fact that Harry and Meghan's titles were bestowed upon them as a wedding gift from Her Majesty the Queen.
However, they questioned whether King Charles would consider removing them.
Similarly, there were doubts about the removal of Harry's title of Prince, given that he was born into it.
Some suggested that the couple should refrain from using their titles altogether and instead use their family surname.
In the midst of this controversy, Professor Selly Otness, co-author of “Royal Fever,” has suggested that the Duke and Duchess may be keeping a low profile as they settle into their lives in the United States.
Otness believes that Americans may not be as invested in the couple's brand, especially considering their diminished connection to the royal family.
The constant coverage of the Queen may have also contributed to a sense of fatigue among the American public.
Reports indicate that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are planning to mend relations with the rest of the royal family, but only after the release of Harry's memoir and the premiere of their Netflix series.
The couple had hoped to reconcile with the Queen next year, but their recent actions, including their claims of racism during an interview with Oprah Winfrey and criticism of the King's parenting skills, have drawn criticism and accusations of arrogance and delusion.
In a change of strategy, Harry and Meghan have distanced themselves from the aggressive Hollywood PR firm Sunshine Saks.
Sources suggest that the couple saw their upcoming book and documentary series as an opportunity to launch one final attack on the royals before attempting to rebuild bridges.
However, their timing has been called into question once again, with critics arguing that their actions have consistently missed the mark.
Insiders close to the couple have labeled the past year as their era of visibility.
Royal author Robert Jobson commented on their calculated approach, stating that their timing has repeatedly been off.
Their interview with Oprah Winfrey coincided with Prince Philip's hospitalization, and their interview with The Cut magazine took place just weeks before the Queen's passing.
Now, their plan for a year of reconciliation is seen as both arrogant and ill-timed.
It is important to note that any public criticism or attack on the King could prove fatal to any hopes of reconciliation.
While Charles will always love his son as a father, as the head of state, he cannot afford to trust him blindly.
The trust between Harry and his family has been irreparably damaged, and it is unlikely that they will ever be viewed in the same light again.
As the petition gains momentum and public sentiment continues to shift, the pressure on Harry and Meghan to relinquish their titles grows.
Only time will tell how they will navigate this challenging period and whether they can find a way to mend their fractured relationships within the royal family.
