When Prince Andrew was officially stripped of his royal title and ordered to vacate his Windsor home, the move sent shockwaves through Britain’s monarchy.
Now, speculation is mounting over whether Prince Harry and Meghan Markle might one day face the same fate.
Six years after stepping back from royal duties and launching a series of public criticisms of the family, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are once again at the center of a storm of rumors, this time about their titles.
Andrew’s downfall
On October 30, Buckingham Palace announced that Prince Andrew would no longer use his royal title and must leave his long-time residence,
Royal Lodge, by the end of the year. The decision followed years of scandal surrounding his links to financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Andrew, once considered one of the Queen’s favored sons, had already been removed from public duties, but until recently retained his title and taxpayer-funded home.
Now, palace sources confirm he will leave both behind, along with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.
The sharp turn has raised questions about whether similar actions could be taken against other controversial royals.
Sussexes in the spotlight
According to The Daily Mail, rumors are circulating that Prince William, upon eventually ascending the throne, may choose to revoke his brother’s and sister-in-law’s royal titles.
American broadcaster Megyn Kelly added fuel to the discussion, telling the outlet: “I think King William will strip them of their titles within a few years of taking the throne, and it should happen as soon as possible.”
She continued: “These two are focused only on themselves. I think it’s only a matter of time before they lose their titles, and they’ve certainly lost support in the United States. Nobody cares about them, and nobody’s rooting for them.”
Her remarks followed reports that Harry and Meghan were booed during a World Series baseball game when they appeared on the stadium’s big screen.
Palace sources and political hints
Citing Page Six, reports also suggest that British lawmakers have discussed legal reforms that could allow the monarch to revoke hereditary titles.
One source close to the Palace reportedly said, “If they pass these laws, I wouldn’t be surprised if Harry was next. I wouldn’t be surprised if William did it. He’s not vindictive, but he feels very let down, and it’s always much harder when someone close to you lets you down.”
No official comment has come from Buckingham Palace or the Sussexes regarding the speculation.
Still, the discussion underscores the growing tension between the royal establishment and the couple who stepped away from it.
