Jeremy Vine calls out Harry and Meghan’s use of royal titles

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle should renounce their titles on their initiative, according to one political commentator. Lin Mei, a guest panellist on the Jeremy Vine Show this morning, said the surprise move from the Sussexes would “speak volumes”. This comes as the host Jeremy Vine called out the couple for refusing to ditch the titles after leaving behind the Royal Family.The tense discussion saw royal commentator Emily Andrews claim that Harry had “always wanted out, even before Meghan”.She said: “Meghan just offered him up that opportunity. She said, we can go to America, we can have a new life, we can become content creators.”You don’t have to rely on that awful British press. You can cut them off. We will do it.”Jeremy Vine interrupted Ms Andrews and pointed out the flaw in her thinking.JUST IN: Omid Scobie calls Prince Harry a ‘royal scapegoat’ Prince Harry and Meghan Markle should renounce their titles on their initiative (Image: JEREMY VINE) Lin Mei, a guest panellist on the Jeremy Vine Show this morning, urged Harry to ditch his titles (Image: JEREMY VINE)He said: “The trouble is, and I’ve seen this, he walks on a stage and behind him is a massive projection saying ‘the Duke of Sussex’.”So that is when someone in the Royal Family can say, ‘Wait, you didn’t go. You kept all the badges.'”That’s the problem, isn’t it?”He joked that a title like the ‘ex-Duke of Sussex’ would actually be “cooler” than his current royal title.

We don’t need the titles.'”Instead they are trying to have the best of both worlds.”She said that Harry and Meghan should “leave properly” and stop using their royal titles.DON’T MISS:Harry warned relationship with King hard to salvage [VIDEO]Harry and Meghan’s title removal ‘not something King can do’ [INSIGHT]’Matt Hancock could be the next national treasure’ [COMMENT] Host Jeremy Vine called out the couple for refusing to ditch the titles (Image: JEREMY VINE)This comes as Prince Harry’s forthcoming memoir, Spare, will feature “raw, unflinching honesty,” according to the publishers Penguin Random House.Earlier in the programme, Ms Andrews said that the book will devastate Harry’s father, King Charles.She warned that the book, set for a 10th January release, could “really backfire” on Harry and put the father-son relationship beyond repair.The book, which will also be narrated by Harry in its audio version, will be released simultaneously in 16 languages, as booksellers hope for big sales.READ NEXT: Harry warned relationship with King hard to salvageHarry warned of risk of ‘mean swipe’ to long term success of SparePrince Harry setting up ‘individual identity’ alongside ‘brand Meghan’Prince Harry and Meghan ‘should give up their titles’ to gain freedomMeghan and Harry praised for ‘relatability’ with children’s upbringing
