Sad News: King Charles Calls Balmoral Summit to Strip Harry, Archie, and Lilibet of Titles
In a dramatic turn of events, King Charles III has reportedly summoned a Balmoral summit to address the future roles and titles of Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, and his children, Archie and Lilibet. According to sources close to the palace, the King is considering removing their royal titles, signaling a decisive break with tradition.This development stems from the ongoing tension between the Sussexes and the royal family, which has intensified since Harry and Meghan stepped back from their royal duties in 2020. By relocating to California and pursuing independent ventures, the couple distanced themselves from the monarchy. However, their public criticisms of the royal institution in interviews and media projects have only widened the rift.Reports indicate that King Charles believes the titles no longer reflect Harry and his family’s current roles or lifestyle. During the summit, senior royals are expected to deliberate on what it means to “serve the Crown” and whether holding royal titles aligns with such expectations. A source revealed, “The King feels that Harry, Archie, and Lilibet have effectively become commoners due to their departure from royal life. It is time to act in the monarchy’s best interest.”
If the decision is finalized, Harry’s Duke of Sussex title, as well as Archie and Lilibet’s prince and princess titles (granted under King Charles’s reign), could be officially revoked. This move would mark a historic shift, as royal titles have rarely been stripped in modern times.
The potential fallout from this decision is significant. Critics argue that it could deepen familial tensions and alienate Harry and Meghan further. Supporters of the move, however, believe it aligns with Charles’s vision of a “streamlined monarchy” that focuses on working royals who actively contribute to the Crown.
