Meghan Markle would be known as “Princess Henry” if she lost her title – but it’s unlikely to happen, one royal expert told Fox News Digital.
Kinsey Schofield, host of the To Di for Daily podcast, said that stripping the Sussexes of their royal titles would take more than a decision from the House of Windsor.
“A lot of us feel like Harry and Meghan take advantage of their titles and would like to see them stripped of them, but that’s not a conversation that has happened between King Charles and Prince William in years,” Schofield claimed.
“Technically, and Charles and William know this, if you strip Harry and Meghan of the Duke and Duchess title… they would revert to being Prince and Princess Henry. The prince title cannot be removed. That is Harry’s birthright. It would take an act of Parliament and that is simply not a priority for them at this time.”
“You will still see Harry and Meghan utilizing the prince and princess titles, which are almost more marketable in the United States,” Schofield added.
Schofield’s comments came shortly after Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine, told The Royal Beat that it’s unlikely the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be stripped of their royal titles.
“I don’t think anything will happen to the titles because, if they lose their titles, Harry is still a prince of the blood, and Meghan instead of being the Duchess of Sussex, [would] be Princess Henry,” said Seward, as quoted by U.K.’s Mirror.
“That really would [confuse the Americans],” said Seward. “I think [it’s] probably best just to leave it because it looks unkind, it looks unnecessary.”
Meghan, 42, a former American actress, became the Duchess of Sussex when she married the British prince in 2018.
Christopher Andersen, author of “The King,” told Fox News Digital that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex won’t be losing their titles anytime soon, despite stepping back in 2020 and moving to California.
“Long ago Queen Elizabeth made it clear that Harry and Meghan would keep their titles but not be addressed using the HRH honorific – the same punishment that was meted out to Princess Diana after her divorce from Charles,” Andersen explained. “There is no earthly reason why the king and Prince William would now consider stripping Harry and Meghan of their titles entirely.”
