PRINCE Harry is “too big” for his royal titles and should ask the Queen to “suspend them”, Lady Colin Campbell has said.
Royal expert Lady C, who wrote a book about Harry, 36, and his wife Meghan Markle, 39, started a petition calling for the duke’s titles to be put into abeyance.

This means they would be temporarily suspended.
Last year, the Sussexes announced they were stepping back from their positions in the Royal Family and moving with son Archie to America.
Lady C said it would be “the right thing to do” for Harry to ask for his titles to be suspended.
She told the Daily Star: “”I have spoken to people, many people, who think it’s the right thing to do and it is the solution.
“It is a dignified solution for all concerned. To humiliate no-one and protect everyone. I think it’s a humane way of solving a very regrettable situation.”
She said Harry and Meghan would still be able to “sell their brand” without their titles.
Lady C said: “It is the best solution because it frees Harry to be able to indulge himself without consequence and without doing damage to the institution of the monarchy of the British nation, the British people and himself.
“So from that point of view it frees him and he is big enough that he doesn’t need the royal title, he’s gone beyond that, he doesn’t need them, they are shackles that he could well do without.
“He doesn’t need them – he is too big for them now.”
TITLE CLAIMS
Piers Morgan also said that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle should be stripped of their royal titles for “trashing the institution and causing a lot of damage”.
Discussing the royal couple, the TV favourite blasted Harry and Meghan for “weaponizing” mental health and racism – adding that it was “hypocritical to do that whilst making hundreds of millions out of their royal titles.”
He explained: “I think they should be stripped of their titles because they’re trashing the institution and causing a lot of damage in the Commonwealth where a lot of the countries are believing this racism crap.
“They’ve become the world’s biggest victims in the middle of a pandemic. It’s pathetic. Harry needs to grow up.
Royal aides reportedly want Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to give up their titles after a “disgraceful” swipe at Charles’ and Philip’s parenting skills.
It came after the Duke of Sussex suggested he had been failed by his dad after he claimed he moved Archie and Meghan to the USA to “break the cycle” of “genetic pain” from his own childhood.
Senior courtiers told the Mail on Sunday that the Duke’s attack had prompted a sense of “bewilderment and betrayal” in the palace.
Prince Harry’s documentary series with Oprah Winfrey was released earlier this month on Apple TV.
Harry had previously claimed that he had to make deals with Netflix and Spotify after revealing to Oprah he had been cut off by the Royal Family following Megxit.
Meghan and Harry have signed two massive deals – one with Netflix rumoured to be worth £100m and another with Spotify believed to be worth about £30m.
Speaking to Oprah about the streaming deal, Harry said: “We didn’t have a plan.
“That was suggested by somebody else by the point of where my family literally cut me off financially, and I had to afford security for us.”
Prince Harry said his own father Prince Charles had stopped taking his calls for a time and that he had been cut off at the start of 2020.
He said: “I’ve got what my mum left me, and without that, we would not have been able to do this.”
