Meghan Markle May Be Referred To As 'Princess Henry' If She Loses Her Royal Title, Expert Says
Sources suggest that if King Charles and Prince William were to revoke the titles of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, it could be perceived as "petty and vindictive."
Should Meghan be divested of her royal title, she might adopt the moniker, "Princess Henry," although such an event is deemed improbable by a royal commentator speaking to Fox News Digital.
The presenter of the 'To Di for Daily' podcast, Kinsey Schofield, mentioned that the removal of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's titles would require actions beyond just a resolution by the royal family.
"A lot of us feel like Harry and Meghan take advantage of their titles and would like to see them stripped of them, but that's not a conversation that has happened between King Charles and Prince William in years," Schofield claimed. "Technically, and Charles and William know this, if you strip Harry and Meghan of the Duke and Duchess title... they would revert to being Prince and Princess Henry. The prince title cannot be removed. That is Harry's birthright. It would take an act of Parliament and that is simply not a priority for them at this time."
"You will still see Harry and Meghan utilizing the prince and princess titles, which are almost more marketable in the United States," Schofield continued.
At 42, the ex-American actress assumed the title of Duchess of Sussex upon her marriage to the British royal in 2018.
Harry entered the world as Prince Henry Charles Albert David.
In the event that Meghan were to relinquish her title, she would assume the title of Princess Henry. This was clarified by Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine in an interview for the Royal Beat. This aligns with the longstanding royal custom that a princess adopts her spouse's first name as part of her formal title.
