King Charles is under increasing pressure to take drastic action against Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, as public opinion turns overwhelmingly against the couple.
Following Prince Harry’s latest bombshell BBC interview in America — where he claimed that his father “won’t speak” to him — readers of the Express have voted in large numbers for the King to strip his son of his royal title. A staggering 97% of respondents to a poll (4,494 votes) said King Charles should officially remove Harry’s royal titles.
The backlash follows Harry’s defeat in his bid to regain taxpayer-funded UK security, adding fuel to the fire for critics who believe the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have gone too far in publicly attacking the Royal Family since stepping down as senior royals in 2020.
One commenter wrote: “This is what they wanted — to be private citizens. Let them be exactly that.” Another added: “He’s insulted the King. Get on with it, Charles!” A third said: “He’s King first, father second. This shouldn’t be left to Prince William.”
Some readers felt the move should have come years earlier. “The titles should’ve been removed the minute they asked for a ‘half in, half out’ deal.”
Despite having agreed with the late Queen Elizabeth in 2020 to stop using their HRH titles, the couple still retain their Duke and Duchess of Sussex ranks — a fact that remains controversial among many Britons.
The Express poll’s message is loud and clear: fans believe enough is enough. And with the King already said to be “frustrated and upset” behind closed doors, his next move may determine the future of royal unity — or deepen the rift even further.
