Support Grows for Bill to Strip Duke and Duchess of Sussex of Titles

A recent poll conducted by Express has shown strong support for legislation that aims to revoke the titles of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

The poll revealed that a staggering 96% of respondents favored stripping Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of their titles, while only 4% opposed the idea.

Conservative MP Bob Seeley has introduced a new bill seeking to amend the 1917 Titles Deprivation Act, which was originally used to remove the UK titles from the German royal family during World War I.

Mr. Seeley, who has been critical of the couple's actions, accused them of attacking important British institutions and exploiting their personal struggles for public consumption.

The decision to strip the Sussexes of their titles comes after they stepped down as senior members of the royal family in 2020 but retained their Duke and Duchess titles.

The power to bestow or remove royal titles lies with the monarch, but the actual removal can only be done through parliamentary action.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were granted their titles on their wedding day almost five years ago by Queen Elizabeth.

The overwhelming support for revoking their titles among Express readers is evident in the numerous comments left below the article.

Many readers argue that the couple should have lost their titles when they decided to step back from their royal duties.

Some even suggested that the titles should automatically be forfeited if a member of the royal family chooses to leave the UK.

However, there are also concerns about the potential consequences of introducing a law to strip royal titles.

Some readers fear that such a law could ultimately lead to the end of the royal family, as it would apply to all members and not just Prince Harry and Meghan.

The decision to remove the Sussexes' titles has sparked a heated debate, with supporters claiming it is necessary to protect the reputation of the royal family, while opponents argue it is unnecessary and divisive.

The fate of Mr. Seeley's private member's bill remains uncertain as it is yet to gain the necessary support in Parliament.

If the bill does pass, it could mark a significant moment in modern British monarchy history, as it would be the first time a royal title has been revoked.

The outcome of this debate will undoubtedly shape the future of the royal family.
