Royal Expert Drops Bombshell on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Titles As Prince William’s Unexpected Stance Shocks Everyone
In a stunning twist that’s shaking up royal watchers, a royal expert and longtime friend of the monarchy has made surprising claims about the future of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal titles — and Prince William’s unexpected position is leaving everyone stunned.
With speculation mounting that Prince William might strip the Duke and Duchess of Sussex of their HRH titles once he becomes king, royal commentator Hugo Vickers has stepped in with an explosive prediction that paints a very different picture.
Speaking exclusively to Page Six, Vickers revealed that despite William’s well-known rift with his younger brother, he is not expected to remove their titles when he takes the throne. The reason? Doing so would come off as “vindictive.”
“We know that William is unforgiving anyway,” Vickers said bluntly. “But… he won’t strip Harry and Meghan of their titles, it appears vindictive.”
That statement has sent royal observers into a frenzy, as many believed William would take swift action against the Sussexes — especially after years of public criticism, bombshell interviews, and a continued distancing from royal duties.
Another insider echoed Vickers’ take, telling the outlet: “William won’t strip them of their titles because they are irrelevant and meaningless at this point. No one thinks [Harry and Meghan] are royal anyway!”
The claim is as controversial as it is revealing. With Prince Harry and Meghan Markle increasingly seen as outsiders in the royal fold, insiders are questioning whether keeping their titles has any true significance — or whether it’s simply a symbolic connection to a royal life they no longer live.
Meanwhile, the personal divide between Prince William and Prince Harry shows no signs of healing. The Page Six report highlights that the brothers’ feud has grown so deep that many insiders fear Harry won’t attend William’s future coronation.
Such an absence would be a historical and emotional blow, casting a shadow over one of the most significant royal events of the century.
But in a dramatic counterpoint, sources close to Harry and Meghan insist the Duke of Sussex still holds out hope for a reunion. According to them, Harry is “keen to make amends” with his family, especially for the sake of his children, Archie and Lilibet.

His recent comments to the BBC are now being seen as an emotional olive branch. “There have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family,” Harry confessed. “I would love reconciliation with my family. There’s no point continuing to fight any more, life is precious.”
These words seem to suggest a softening in Harry’s stance, perhaps even a desire to return to some form of family unity — a sharp contrast to earlier tensions that saw him and Meghan step away from royal duties and relocate to California.
Still, questions remain: Will William respond to Harry’s plea for peace? Or is the damage too deep to mend?
Some royal commentators believe William may be taking the high road not out of forgiveness, but because the Sussexes are already seen as irrelevant in royal circles. By not removing their titles, he avoids further drama while allowing the public perception to do the job for him.
For now, Harry and Meghan continue to hold the titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and technically still have the “HRH” honorific — though they agreed not to use it after stepping back from royal duties in 2020.
As the royal family prepares for inevitable changes in the future, this latest development adds another layer to the saga that has captivated audiences around the world.
Whether reconciliation is truly on the horizon, or whether this is just another calm before the next royal storm, one thing is clear: the royal feud isn’t over yet — and the titles are just the tip of the iceberg.
