Meghan Markle’s ‘confusing’ new title if she is stripped of ‘Duchess of Sussex’

Meghan Markle would have a “confusing” new title if she was no longer the Duchess of Sussex, according to experts. It has long been speculated that Meghan and Prince Harry could lose their royal titles after stepping down from their roles and moving to the US. Discussions “at the highest level” have reportedly taken place, but Meghan’s new title could confuse things even more. Royal experts have said Meghan would be referred to as “Princess Henry” if she was stripped of her Duchess title. The Editor in Chief of Majesty Magazine, Ingrid Seward, told The Royal Beat: “I don’t think anything will happen to the titles because, if they lose their titles, Harry is still a prince of the blood and Meghan instead of being the Duchess of Sussex, [would] be Princess Henry… That really would [confuse the Americans]. I think [it’s] probably best just to leave it because it looks unkind, it looks unnecessary.” Meghan Markle’s new title could ‘confuse’ people, according to experts (Image: Getty) She added: “The Queen gave them the titles, let them keep them – they’re going to be ‘H and M’ anyway. I think the best thing is to leave them, ignore them, and let them get on with it – which is really what the Palace and the Royal Family are doing.” If the couple are stripped of their titles, they could simply be referred to as Mr and Mrs Mountbatten-Windsor. But some think it’s unlikely to happen, with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet being given titles earlier this year. Paul Burrell, a former royal butler to the late Queen and Princess Diana, has also cast doubt on the possibility of the King taking titles away. Discussions have been had ‘at the highest level’ over whether they will keep their titles (Image: Getty) Paul, who was also criticised by Harry in Spare, previously said: “It’s the King’s decision, he does not want to light a fire underneath Harry and Meghan. “He doesn’t want to light the blue touch paper and watch the fireworks go off. The King is very careful, he has been very careful by handling Meghan and Harry the way he has. He sent them the invitations, he’s kept the moral high ground and he’s doing the right thing. “I don’t think he will take away their titles, I think other people want him to but other people didn’t want him to invite them to the Coronation. The King will do it his way, he has a very straight way of dealing with things and he knows his own mind. “He’s not being swayed or told by anybody what to do, it’s his way. Charles has always been like that, he’s always had his way and been very focused so no he won’t take the titles. He could have, or the late Queen could’ve changed the rules so that Meghan and Harry’s children weren’t princes and princesses, but they didn’t.”
