King Charles could 'sacrifice' himself to protect monarchy's future

King Charles may “sacrifice” himself and “save” the future king, Prince William, by taking a huge step against Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

The royal titles of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s kids could be quietly removed before the Prince of Wales takes the throne, a royal commentator has suggested.

Writing for Daily Mail Australia, Sharon Hunt said the British Royal Family might follow the example of Denmark’s Queen Margrethe, who removed the titles of four of her grandchildren in 2022 to modernise the monarchy.

While the move caused tension at first, the family eventually moved on, with Prince Joachim later attending his brother’s coronation.

Hunt suggested Charles could do the same by “sacrificing” himself and removing Archie and Lilibet’s HRH status now.

"Adopting the Danish royal family's blueprint for title removal could potentially not only keep William's hands clean, but it may even hold the door ajar (even if by just an inch!) for a future reconciliation between the warring brothers,” she penned.

“But it requires the agreement and participation of King Charles,” added Hunt. "What the British incumbent can do during his time in charge is provide surety and stability for the next generation by making a tough call.”

"Like Queen Margrethe did at the end of her reign, King Charles has the power to cut the HRH cord from Prince Harry's children, once and for all, confirming that their future lies beyond the Royal Family."
