New Law Could Result in Duke and Duchess of Sussex Losing Their Titles
A new legislation proposed in Parliament could lead to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle being referred to only as Mr and Mrs. The proposed law has sparked a debate about the couple's royal titles and whether they should be stripped of them.
MP Calls for Stripping of Titles
Conservative MP Bob Seely has called for the stripping of Harry and Meghan's royal titles. He argues that action needs to be taken following the publication of Omid Scobie's controversial book, which alleged that certain members of the royal family made comments about Archie's skin color.
Accusations of Racism
The publication of Scobie's book, which was criticized as a hatchet-job by many, has raised accusations of racism within the royal family. The book claims that King Charles and Princess Kate were involved in raising concerns about Archie's skin color. The allegations have caused significant controversy and led to calls for Harry and Meghan to speak out and defend their relatives.
The Fallout
The fallout from the book has deepened the rift between Princes William and Harry. The Dutch translation of the book contains highly inflammatory language, including branding the heir to the throne as "heartless." However, these terms do not appear in the UK edition of the book. The controversy has intensified calls for Harry to distance himself from the book and clarify the truth.
The Need for a Response
There is growing pressure on Harry and Meghan to break their silence and address the allegations made in the book. Lord Andrew Roberts has stated that it is Prince Harry's responsibility to deny the claims and defend his family. The couple's silence on the matter has drawn criticism and raised questions about their response.
The Translation Controversy
A translation controversy has added fuel to the fire. In the Dutch version of Scobie's book, the names of the royals allegedly involved are explicitly mentioned. Scobie has blamed this on translation errors, but the translator claims that she received the names from Scobie himself. This has led to doubts about the veracity of Scobie's denial.
Overall, the publication of Scobie's book has reignited the debate surrounding Harry and Meghan's royal titles. The proposed legislation could result in the couple being stripped of their titles, adding further tension to their already strained relationship with the royal family.
