Royal Pressure Mounts on King Charles to Revoke Titles of Harry and Meghan
Amidst the unveiling of their new website, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, also known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have found themselves under increasing pressure for their royal titles to be revoked by King Charles.
The timing of the website launch, just a week after Buckingham Palace revealed the King's battle with an undisclosed form of cancer, has raised eyebrows, with royal author Tom Bauer suggesting that now is the perfect moment to permanently strip the couple of their titles.
In a column for the Daily Mail, Bauer expressed his belief that King Charles has been overly tolerant of the Sussexes' actions, particularly following their controversial interview with Oprah Winfrey.
He emphasized the need for decisive action, stating that the couple's latest money-making endeavors should not go unpunished.
Bauer urged the King to make it clear that Harry and Meghan are no longer part of the royal family once he recovers from his health issues.
The launch of the Sussexes' website under the domain Sussex.com has sparked further controversy, with concerns raised about potential violations of royal protocols.
A source cited by the Daily Mail warned that any hint of commercialism on the platform could result in its shutdown.
Critics have accused Harry and Meghan of leveraging their royal titles to bolster their careers in Hollywood, while some speculate that the move hints at a possible return to the royal fold.
Responding to the backlash, an insider close to the couple defended their actions, asserting that the use of the surname and family name on the website is factual.
However, royal expert Angela Levin condemned the move, suggesting that it would have angered the late Queen and violated the Sandringham Summit Agreement.
Former royal correspondent Michael Cole echoed these sentiments, labeling the couple's actions as illegal and damaging to the reputation of King Charles and the royal family.
Cole highlighted the prohibition against using royal titles for commercial purposes, emphasizing that Harry and Meghan were explicitly instructed not to exploit their status in such a manner.
He criticized the grandiose nature of the biographies on their website, describing them as excessively verbose and self-indulgent.
The ongoing saga surrounding the Sussexes' royal titles continues to attract scrutiny and debate, underscoring the complexities of their relationship with the monarchy and the wider implications of their decisions.
