Prince William is reportedly planning to strip brother Prince Harry and sister-in-law Meghan Markle of their royal titles using Prince Andrew’s blue print as he recently dropped his royal privileges due to alleged links to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
According to a report by Radar Onlineduring the royal family’s summer stay at Balmoralthe, the future king is said to have discussed the move with King Charles following Andrew’s statement to renounce his titles and honours.
A royal insider said: “From the outside, Balmoral seemed like the usual royal retreat – walks, barbecues and cozy family meals. But privately there were big talks going on. William is convinced the monarchy cannot progress while Harry and Meghan still hold titles.”
“What happened to Andrew showed him it’s time for a final break. The king’s decision basically gave him the playbook.”
It is pertinent to mention that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down from royal duties back in 2020, but the couple retained their royal titles and continued to use them.
For William, it is now “to secure the future of the monarchy.”
Another source said William “really respects how his father handled Andrew – it was tough but the right call and it showed that no one, regardless of status, is above the crown. He feels the same principle should apply to Harry and Meghan. This is not about revenge – it is about preservation.”
