The rift between Prince Harry and brother Prince William has but to be mended, and now, Harry reportedly fears it might affect his kids. In his new e-book, Betrayal: Power, Deceit And The Fight For The Future Of The Royal Family, royal reporter Tom Bower claims that Harry worries that when his brother turns into king, he might select to take away Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet’s “HRH” titles, as Harry and Duchess Meghan are now not working royals.
Per the writer, Harry is afraid that William will present “no mercy” towards his household when he has all the ability.
The Duke of Sussex’s alleged concern comes after King Charles III stripped brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor of his royal titles and honors as a consequence of his ties to the late convicted intercourse trafficker Jeffrey Epstein (and Andrew was later arrested). Bower claims that the historic move made Harry notice that his personal royal standing is “no longer invincible,” and subsequently his youngsters’ titles could possibly be in danger.
In 2022, after Princess Lilibet was born, Charles and Harry agreed that each of Harry’s youngsters, Archie, 6, and Lili, 4, would use “prince” and “princess” titles. But as we all know, a reigning monarch can strip different royals of their titles if she or he decides to.
“Clearly, William was taking no prisoners. Once he was crowned as king, his brother might well show no mercy to him and Meghan,” Bower writes. “Insulted by all the criticism targeted from Montecito, Harry could anticipate that the Prince and Princess of Wales’s anger about Meghan’s misuse of her royal title for profit would tip the balance. William would undoubtedly rail against her disloyalty. He might even strip Archie and Lilibet of their titles.”
A spokesperson for the Sussexes has denied the claims made in Bower’s e-book.
