So, Stripping the Sussexes of Their Titles Has Been Discussed at the “Highest Level”

Royal author Robert Jobson has a brand-new biography coming out called Our King: Charles III, and it appears to be overflowing with royal tea…including about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s titles.

The Daily Mail went ahead and published an excerpt from the book that claims that discussions about stripping the Sussexes of their titles happened at the “highest level” when Charles became King. Ahem:

“The idea of stripping Harry of his Duke of Sussex title has been discussed at the highest level,” Jobson writes. “The King is said not to be in favor, but other senior royals are less indulgent. Ultimately, despite Charles’s enduring love for his son, he will come under increasing pressure if Harry continues to attack the monarchy. At that point, the King would have two options: put up with the spreading stain on his reign, or take action to limit its scope. In short, Harry and Meghan could yet find themselves demoted to Mr. and Mrs. Mountbatten-Windsor of Montecito, California.”

Jobson also notes that “Charles is deeply saddened by the widening gulf between him and his youngest son and wishes he could see more of the Sussexes’ two children.”

Meanwhile, a senior aide says that “some” Palace officials still blame Meghan for the “fallout” between Harry and his family, “ignoring the fact that Harry seems to be the driving force in everything that happened.” That said, at this point, “most just feel Harry has turned his back on everything he has known.”

Harry and Meghan are currently living their best lives in California, and it remains to be seen if they’ll join the royals for King Charles’s upcoming coronation—where there could (maybe? hopefully?) be a chance for reconciliation.
