The beginning of the week was marked by new details of the scandal surrounding the separation of Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle from the royal family. Today, all the media are discussing how Elizabeth II decided to take revenge on her grandson for publicly insulting the royal court.
Since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex resigned, Harry no longer has his military ranks, deprived of command of the Royal Marines, the Navy, and small ships of the Royal Navy. Nor is he a patron saint of English rugby. Meghan Markle is deprived of her patronage of the National Theater and the Association of Commonwealth Universities.
Meghan and Harry are not allowed to use the word “royal” in their US business. However, the couple still retain the titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and Harry still retains his title of Prince.
After all the high-profile, court-revealing statements in the media, fans of the royal family expect that in response to these antics, Elizabeth II will strip the Sesseks of all their last titles and titles. However, experts do not think so.
The author of The Queen Speaks, Ingrid Seward, is confident that Her Majesty would rather “ignore them” than give Harry and Meghan more “reasons to criticize the monarchy.”
“I think that the divestment will look very petty, but it won’t matter much. I am sure that at this stage of her reign, the Queen does not want to do this. Even removing them from next year’s jubilee guest list would give them a great excuse to criticize the monarchy. It would be much more offensive to just ignore them,” Ingrid said in an interview with British Express.
