- Three years after he and Meghan Markle stood down as senior working royals in April 2020, Prince Harry has been formally removed off the royal website and has been referred to as “The Duke” instead of his HRH title since August 4. After Harry and Meghan Markle left the royal family in April 2020, the shift occurred. His Royal Highness Henry Charles Albert David Duke of Sussex was Harry’s full name before then.
- King Charles III and the Duke of Sussex had a complicated history together; according to Harry, once the King stepped down from his official responsibilities in 2020, his father stopped returning his calls. Although Harry attended Charles’ coronation on Saturday, their friendship seems to be strengthening lately.
- King Charles III, who ascended to the throne on September 8th, emphasized his “love for Harry and Meghan” in his first speech as king. Harry stated that he wanted his brother and father to return to his life. Harry attended the king’s coronation on Saturday, May 6, without interacting with Charles or Prince William. It is unclear how their relationship is doing right now, but it is important to note that.
- When Insider asked for comment on the state of the couple’s relationship, neither Buckingham Palace nor the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s aides responded right away.
- The Duke and Duchess of Sussex decided not to use their HRH titles in an official capacity when they stopped performing royal responsibilities, even though they still hold them. According to Buckingham Palace, changes are being made to some of the outdated material posted on the official royal website, including references to Harry’s titles.
- The title change also follows a six-month delay by Buckingham Palace in referring to Archie and Lilibet, the children of Harry and Meghan, as prince and princess, despite the fact that they legally gained the titles when King Charles III ascended the throne. Despite their agreement to cease using their HRH titles in 2020, Harry and Meghan did not make any similar commitments to quit using their other titles.
- The late Queen Elizabeth II conferred the couple with the titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex at the time of their marriage in May 2018.
- Harry retains the right to be referred to as a royal of the United Kingdom since he is a royal by birth and the present monarch’s son. As a result of her marriage to Prince Harry, Meghan also acquired the title of Princess of the United Kingdom.
