King Charles III. - That's why he's so gracious to Harry and Meghan
Prince Harry (39) and Duchess Meghan (42) will probably not have to fear any official punishment from the royal family. King Charles III (75) will never strip his youngest son and his wife of their titles, according to alleged insiders in the Daily Mail. A two-year-old accusation by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex is currently causing renewed turmoil in the palace.
Nevertheless, the monarch is said to "not even want to think" about stripping Harry and Meghan of their royal titles, as the newspaper reports, citing "well-informed sources". In early 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex resigned their position as working members of the royal family, moved to the USA and have since repeatedly made accusations against the royal family in interviews, a Netflix documentary and Harry's memoir "Reserve".
All the while, there have been public calls for the royals to officially cut ties with the couple and strip them of the titles they were given when Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022) married them in 2018. The couple have reportedly not visited the county of Sussex since 2018.
Charles does not want to "humiliate" Harry and Meghan
The reason why King Charles is not responding to the demands: he does not believe in punishments and "never wants to humiliate" his son and daughter-in-law, according to insiders. Although Buckingham Palace is "considering all options" due to the recent furore, the sources told the Daily Mail that title stripping is "simply out of the question": "It's just not something that's being considered," they emphasized.
So while Harry and Meghan are still the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, they have not been allowed to call themselves "His Royal Highness" or "Her Royal Highness" for some time. The late Queen had decreed this after her grandson and his wife had left for California.
"Endgame" shakes up the palace
The new book by royal expert Omid Scobie (42), who allegedly has access to Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan's entourage, is currently causing a stir. The sale of "Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy's Fight for Survival" was recently halted in the Netherlands after it was revealed that the translated version contained alleged "comments" made by members of the royal family about the skin color of Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan's son Archie (4) before he was born.
Meghan and Harry had made such allegations public in a TV interview with Oprah Winfrey (69) in 2021, without naming a name. Scobie has now claimed in several TV interviews that he never wrote down the names and does not know how they got into the Dutch version of his book. Meghan and Harry are also said to have nothing to do with the new book.
Sources close to the Duchess of Sussex, who allegedly once mentioned the two names in a letter to Charles, insisted to the Telegraph that Meghan "never intended them to be publicly identified" and that the names "were not passed on to Mr. Scobie by anyone close to her".
