King Charles Reportedly Ready To Strip Harry & Meghan Of One Thing They Want Most Of All

King Charles III and Queen consort Camilla are hosting a royal family gathering at Balmoral Castle in Scotland throughout August, with members like William, Prince of Wales, Catherine, Princess of Wales, and Princess Anne reportedly in attendance. While the summer trip allows the households to reconnect after the several tragedies that have plagued the royal family in 2024, it's also an opportunity to discuss the future of the monarchy, which will most likely not include Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

The Balmoral retreat marks another instance that Harry and Meghan were snubbed by the royal family, but a source reports that King Charles III is ready to plan a future that doesn't include a spotlight on the estranged couple. "The strategy now is to move away from focusing on what the Sussexes are doing and place an emphasis on the next generation of royals," the insider told The Express. "There is very much a feeling of not dwelling on the past but moving forward with the assets they've got which are the younger members of the Royal Family."

What King Charles' plans could mean for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

While signs suggest that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle might be planning a major comeback, King Charles III is reportedly preparing to leave the Sussexes in the past altogether. According to Express, the monarch wants to shift focus to the direct line of succession, which includes Prince William and his children, but is also considering royal family roles for figures like Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, and Lady Louise Windsor.

"The future of the Royal Family doesn't just hinge on the Wales family," a source told the outlet. "But also on other members of the Royal Family that hold a visible profile in this country and around the world." As for Harry and Meghan, leaving them out of the limelight might include taking away their titles, with an insider telling Express that their royal appellations were up for discussion during the Balmoral retreat.

Harry and Meghan's HRH designations were already revoked in 2020, with Buckingham Palace releasing a public statement following the duo's step back from royal duties. While the HRH titles were gifted to them by the late Queen Elizabeth II on their wedding day, their peerage titles are much more substantial. "Harry's Dukedom, Earldom and Barony will have to be removed by an Act of Parliament," the source said. "Which could throw up a lot of unnecessary problems and unwanted media attention."
