Whispers Swirl That Prince William May Strip Harry and Meghan of Royal Titles

Prince Harry and Meghan

Rumors are swirling within royal circles that once Prince William ascends to the throne, he may allegedly move to strip Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of their remaining royal titles. Though unconfirmed, multiple reports suggest that the Prince of Wales is considering this as part of his vision to modernize and streamline the monarchy.

According to one outlet here, William is allegedly “more than likely” to revoke the Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles currently held by his younger brother and sister-in-law. The potential decision is rumored to stem from both the ongoing rift between the brothers and William’s desire to reduce the number of working royals, aligning with King Charles III’s plan for a slimmed-down monarchy.

These whispers gained traction online following the release of Meghan Markle’s latest lifestyle series on Netflix (With Love, Meghan), in which she controversially states that she is “Sussex now,” sparking renewed debate about the couple’s connection to the titles they continue to hold despite stepping back from royal duties in 2020.

Still, it’s important to note that, as of now, there is no concrete evidence to support claims that William will take such action. The palace has made no official statement, and sources close to the royal family have remained tight-lipped.

While speculation continues to dominate headlines, the public remains divided. Some support the idea of a cleaner, more focused monarchy, while others believe stripping titles would only deepen familial wounds. Until William becomes king and confirms any such move, the rumors remain exactly that—rumors.

When will Prince William be King

Prince William will become king only when his father, King Charles III, either abdicates the throne, passes away, or becomes unable to carry out his royal duties due to health or other reasons.

As of now, King Charles III is actively reigning, having taken the throne after Queen Elizabeth II passed away in September 2022. While there has been speculation about the future of the monarchy—especially amid recent reports about King Charles’ health—there’s no official timeline for when William will become king.

So in short: there’s no set date. It all depends on future events that are unpredictable.
