Prince William to choose monarchy over ‘vindictive' motive

Prince William will not play a vindictive role in Meghan Markle’s life, says an expert.

The Prince of Wales, who has his differences with Meghan and husband Prince Harry, will not strip off their Royal titles when he makes King.

Royal expert Jennie Bond told the Mirror: "Granted, there seems to be a public appetite for stripping them of their titles, but I think it’s unlikely that William would choose to do this. It would seem, and in fact would be, quite vindictive. There is also the question of whether a monarch can indeed do this.”

"Some titles could be removed on the will of the Sovereign, but the universal view is that to strip someone of their Peerage demands an act of Parliament. Harry became Duke of Sussex, Earl of Dumbarton and Baron of Kilkeel when he married in 2018,” she added.

The expert continued: "And it would be a brave government to venture into that field when there are, in all honesty, so many more pressing issues. King Edward VIII remained a Duke for the rest of his life, even though he lived in exile.

"William may remain estranged from his brother forever, even though this would be a very sad state of affairs. But, if he does, I think he will continue to regard Harry simply as irrelevant to his life and to this country. And I don’t think he would trouble himself with taking away either of their titles,” notes the expert.
