King Charles Faces Public Backlash Over Succession Line Changes

In a surprising turn of events, a recent poll has revealed that a significant portion of the British public supports King Charles's decision to potentially remove Prince Harry and his children from the line of succession.

According to Express UK's latest survey, 66% of respondents believe that both the Duke of Sussex and his kids, Archie and Lilibet, should be excluded from this royal privilege.

This sentiment seems to resonate across party lines, with both Conservative and Labour voters largely agreeing on the matter.

Prince Harry, who has been living a relatively quiet life in California alongside Meghan Markle since stepping down as a senior royal in 2020, currently holds the fifth position in the royal succession.

His son Archie is sixth, while one-year-old Lilibet follows at seventh.

Despite Harry's high-profile memoir, “Spare,” which broke records as the fastest-selling non-fiction book, public opinion regarding his place in the monarchy appears unchanged.

Interestingly, the poll findings show unity among various political factions.

Approximately 65% of Conservative voters and 66% of Labour voters expressed their desire for Harry to be removed from the succession line.

Even those on opposite sides of the Brexit debate—Brexiteers and Remainers—seem to share a common stance on this issue.

As speculation mounts about King Charles's intentions, it seems unlikely he will strip Harry and Meghan of their royal titles anytime soon.

The King is currently focused on making his upcoming coronation a monumental occasion, leaving little room for further royal controversies.

Adding to the drama, a long-standing conspiracy theory surrounding Meghan Markle has resurfaced, particularly following the release of the Netflix documentary series featuring Harry and Meghan.

This conspiracy claims that Markle used a surrogate for her children, suggesting that they are not biologically hers.

Some extreme theorists even go as far as to claim that her children do not exist.

On Sunday, one of the women behind this conspiracy, Sadie Quinlan, regained access to her Twitter account, thanking Elon Musk for the opportunity.

Quinlan, along with Markle's half-sister Samantha Markle, was part of a small group that spread these damaging rumors through doctored images and private chats.

Just days later, Quinlan launched a new YouTube channel after her previous one was banned for violating platform rules.

Remarkably, she quickly gained nearly 3,000 subscribers, and her first video, which targeted Markle's mental health, garnered close to 1,000 comments within hours of posting.

The online hate campaign against Markle has intensified since the documentary's release, revealing troubling patterns of racist and misogynistic attacks.

The quick resurgence of Quinlan, a key figure in this hate movement, underscores the challenges social media platforms face in combating misinformation and hate speech.

This campaign against Markle began back in 2018 when Quinlan established a private group on the fringe social network MeWe.

Among its most vocal members were individuals like Laird Connolly and Natasha Kano, who became prominent figures in the anti-Meghan narrative alongside Quinlan.

The group's central conspiracy revolved around the false claim that Markle never carried her children and instead had them through a surrogate.

This disinformation repository on MeWe served as the breeding ground for numerous memes and falsehoods that eventually spread to Twitter and other platforms.

Despite the release of the Netflix documentary, which includes photos and ultrasound images of Markle during her pregnancy, the conspiracy theories persist.

Supporters of these unfounded claims have taken screenshots from the documentary to bolster their arguments, demonstrating the difficulty of dispelling such deeply entrenched misinformation.

As public sentiment shifts and conspiracies continue to circulate, the royal family finds itself navigating a complex landscape of opinion and speculation.

The future of Prince Harry and his children within the monarchy remains uncertain, as does the ongoing battle against the pervasive tide of misinformation online.
