Future Changes to Royal Titles Predicted
Nine members of the royal family may lose their prince or princess titles. King Charles recently removed the "prince" title from his brother, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, marking a historic precedent that could lead to more title removals.
Potential Impact on Prince Harry
A palace insider told Page Six that it would not be surprising if, once Prince William becomes king, he strips Prince Harry of his title. The source explained:
"If they pass these bills, I would not be surprised if Harry is the next one to go. I would not be surprised if William does that… he’s not a vindictive person, but he feels very let down and it’s always much more difficult when you are let down by somebody close to you."
Broader Title Removals Expected
Another source informed The Daily Beast that King William plans to remove princely titles from all non-working royals. They would also lose their "HRH" (His/Her Royal Highness) honorifics.
Individuals Potentially Affected
- Prince Harry
- Meghan Markle
- Prince Archie
- Princess Lilibet
- Princess Eugenie
- Princess Beatrice
- Prince George (potentially)
- Princess Charlotte (potentially)
- Prince Louis (potentially)
This move signals a significant shift in the royal family's approach to titles and official roles.
"William will remove princely titles from all non-working royals."
Author’s summary: The royal family is expected to undergo a major title restructuring, with King William likely to revoke princely titles and HRH honors from many non-working members, including Prince Harry.
