**Parliament Moves to Strip Titles from Harry and Meghan**

A lot of people dream of being royalty, but Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are not among them.

In 2020, the couple voluntarily gave up their HRH titles when they decided to step back from royal duties.

While Harry retained his prince status, they retained the titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex but were no longer referred to as His or Her Royal Highness.

However, due to numerous requests from the people of Sussex, Parliament is now considering stripping Meghan and Harry of their titles and awarding them to the descendants of Prince Augustus Frederick to prevent the couple from exploiting the royal family for financial gain.

King Charles III has also confirmed plans to remove titles from other royals, such as forcing Prince Oz to divorce his money-hungry wife who was using her title for personal profit.

This move echoes historical precedents, such as when Prince Albert changed the titles and styles of British royal offspring not born to the reigning monarch Victoria.

Prior to this change, children of the Prince and Princess of the United Kingdom preferred German titles until marriage, as seen with Prince Andrew becoming the Duke of York.

Consequently, Archie's future children may be titled as Lord or Lady rather than prince or princess, signaling a shift away from princely titles in their lineage.

The once-welcomed titles bestowed upon Harry and Meghan by the Queen in 2018 have now become a point of contention.

Residents of Sussex initially celebrated their new roles, expecting them to continue serving as working royals.

However, after the couple distanced themselves from royal duties and relocated to Montecito, public sentiment soured, leading to petitions calling for the removal of their titles.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex not only hold honorary titles but also benefit financially from various sources, including real estate, agriculture, and cultural endeavors within the county.

In response to the changing circumstances, a petition was filed in Parliament following the couple's move to the United States.

The petition argues that since Harry and Meghan are no longer fulfilling their royal duties, their titles should be revoked to prevent personal financial gain.

The bill seeking to remove their titles is set for a second reading in the House of Commons on Friday, March 24.

During this reading, Members of Parliament will debate the key principles of the bill, which aims to grant the monarch the authority to remove titles.

This proposed legislation could have significant implications for the couple, known colloquially as the Harkles.

If passed, the bill would empower the monarch to strip titles either independently or based on recommendations from a joint parliamentary committee.

It marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing saga surrounding Harry and Meghan's royal status, highlighting the complexities and consequences of their decision to step back from traditional royal roles.

As the bill progresses through Parliament, the fate of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's titles hangs in the balance, reflecting a broader shift in the monarchy's approach to titles and responsibilities.
