Speculation is rife that King Charles is considering stripping Meghan Markle of her last remaining royal title ahead of next month’s Trooping The Color ceremony. While Buckingham Palace has remained silent on the matter publicly, sources close to the palace suggest that Charles finds Meghan’s ongoing criticisms of the institution intolerable and deeply disrespectful.
Meghan and her husband Prince Harry stepped back from their roles as senior working Royals in early 2020, eventually relocating to California. Since then, they’ve ventured into various commercial endeavors and haven’t shied away from taking swipes at the royal family in interviews.
Despite not fulfilling official duties anymore, Meghan has retained her title of Duchess of Sussex since marrying Harry in 2018.
However, it appears that King Charles is determined to remove even that last vestige of royal recognition from Meghan. This decision seems to stem from Meghan’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey last year, during which she made accusations of racism against an unnamed member of the Royal Family.
Sources suggest that Charles firmly believes Meghan has crossed a line and is merely exploiting her title for commercial gain through lucrative deals with Netflix and Spotify.
Reports from the palace indicate that Charles is prepared to take action before the Trooping ceremony, which will mark his first official birthday parade as Sovereign on June 2nd. Allegedly, he doesn’t want Meghan anywhere near the proceedings while still holding a royal title.
Stripping her of the Duchess title, it’s believed, will send a clear message that attacks against the monarchy will not be tolerated and sever her last symbolic tie to the institution.
To avoid sparking a constitutional crisis, Charles is reportedly exploring the use of ancient Royal letters patent powers to remove the title without involving Parliament. Some may argue that such a move could escalate tensions further with Harry and Meghan, but sources suggest that the King has run out of patience with what he perceives as constant criticism and commercial exploitation from his son and daughter-in-law across the Atlantic.
Reactions from California have been intense. Reports suggest Meghan was brought to tears upon hearing the rumors of the King’s intentions, with insiders claiming she expressed feeling unwelcome and disrespected by the royal family.
Understandably, Harry is said to be furious with his father over the potential removal of Meghan’s title, viewing it as punishment for her speaking out about racism within the Royal household.
