Prince William is reportedly planning to strip the royal titles of his brother Prince Harry and sister-in-law Meghan Markle using Prince Andrew’s plan, as he recently gave up his royal privileges due to an alleged association with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
According to a report from Online radarDuring the royal family’s summer stay at Balmoralthe, the future king reportedly discussed the move with King Charles following Andrew’s declaration that he would renounce his titles and honors.
A royal insider said: “From the outside, Balmoral looked like a usual royal getaway – walks, barbecues and cozy family meals. But privately, major discussions were underway. William is convinced the monarchy cannot evolve while Harry and Meghan still hold titles.”
“What happened with Andrew showed him it was time to take a permanent break. The king’s decision essentially handed him the playbook.”
It is pertinent to mention that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped back from their royal duties in 2020, but both men retained their royal titles and continued to use them.
For Guillaume, it is now a question of “safeguarding the future of the monarchy”.
A second source said: William “really respects the way his father treated Andrew – it was difficult but it was the right decision, and it showed that no one, regardless of their status, is above the Crown. He believes the same principle should apply to Harry and Meghan. It’s not about revenge, it’s about self-preservation.”
