From the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to the Duke and Duchess of Mountbatten-Windsor" Apparently, according to Robert Jobson's new book, Our King, Prince Harry's stripping of his title is "being discussed at the highest levels. Presumably after not only stepping down as an active member of the royal family, but also criticizing the royal family on screen (his and Meghan Markle's Netflix documentary "Harry & Meghan") and on the page (his confessional book "Spare").

According to the Mirror, the royal family has repeatedly discussed stripping Harry of his title. While Harry's title of Prince is his birthright and cannot be taken away, the title of Duke of Sussex was given to him by His late Majesty upon his marriage to Meghan in 2018. Mountbatten-Windsor is a royal family surname.

"It has long been said that the title should be stripped from the couple as they resigned their duties and put down roots for a new life in California," the magazine reported.

The late Queen never took any action to strip Harry of his title (and that of Queen Meghan), and "King Charles is understood to be 'not in favor' of stripping Harry of his title, and when the family gathered after the Queen's death, Queen Meghan let Harry accompany her to Balmoral. Despite her decision that she should not, she has an 'undying love for her son,'" Jobson wrote in his book, which was released on April 13. The idea of stripping Harry of the title of Duke of Sussex is being debated at the highest levels. The King is reportedly not in favor of the idea, but other senior royals are not so forgiving. After all, Prince Charles will be under increasing pressure if Harry continues to attack the monarchy despite Prince Charles' abiding affection for his son."[7

Although Harry and Meghan retain their titles as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, they were stripped of their honorary military appointments and royal patronage in 2021 by their late Majesty, and those appointments and patronage were later distributed to other active members of the royal family. In addition to retaining the title of Sussex, Harry and Meghan have also been given the title of His Highness, although it is rarely used.

The couple's children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, previously held the titles Archie Mountbatten-Windsor and Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor, but when Harry and Meghan announced their prince and princess titles last month, they announced on the royal website that their parents Their names were changed to reflect their Sussex titles. They are now known as Prince Archie, Duke of Sussex and Princess Lilibet, Duke of Sussex in the official royal line of succession.
