Could Prince Harry Really Become Just A 'Mister'?
Prince Harry made the shocking decision in 2020 to leave his position in the royal family for a quiet life in the United States with his wife Meghan Markle. He told James Corden on "The Late Late Show" that the decision was made because he was struggling with his mental health at the hands of the British press. "We all know what the British press can be like, and it was destroying my mental health," he told the British talk show host. "I was like, this is toxic. So I did what any husband and what any father would do."
While Harry does not seem to regret his decision, some fans of the royal family have been unhappy with his decisions. Piers Morgan, a staunch critic of Harry and Meghan, told Fox News that the British public can "see through the couple." He also called them out for what he deemed to be "hypocrisy."
Now that Harry has been away from the royal family for a few years and has lost some public support, there is also some pressure to completely strip him of his titles.
Could Harry lose his prince title?
Following Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's exit from the royal family and their shocking interview with Oprah, some members of the British public were not pleased with the couple (per The New Yorker). Those who were unhappy with the interview found trouble in the accusations made against the royal family they admire so much.
As a result of the fallout from his exit, pressure is being put on Harry's father Prince Charles to strip him of his titles (via The Overtimer). Though he has already forfeited some of his military titles and his patronage to English rugby, many of Harry's critics wants to see the future king take it a step further.
When Queen Elizabeth II passes away, Prince Charles will take over the throne and have the ability to revoke Harry's title as a prince if he chooses to. Some supporters of the royal family would like to see that happen. However, it's worth pointing out that others likely understand the stress placed on Harry in the moments leading up to his exit and have shown support for him while he's been in the U.K. (per Reuters).
Time will tell if Charles chooses to take away Harry's title, but there might be a chance Harry could go from prince to sir.
