The Duke and Duchess of Sussex appear unmoved by the Prince of Wales’s push for “change” amid talk of title removal.
Prince William has made it clear that transformation is coming to the monarchy, but Harry and Meghan Markle seem to be tuning him out.
During an appearance on The Reluctant Traveler with Eugene Levy, William hinted that the royal family’s future may look very different under his reign, saying, “Change is on my agenda, change for good.” His words have sparked speculation that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex could lose their royal titles once he becomes king.
Sources close to the palace suggest that William’s comments were a subtle warning to his estranged brother and sister-in-law, who are reportedly seeking to reconcile with King Charles III behind the scenes. “There is no way King William will stand for this. The titles will simply be removed when he is king. A way will be found,” one royal insider told the Daily Beast.
However, some experts say it’s unlikely that William could legally revoke the titles without Parliament’s involvement, as the dukedom was granted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2018.
Despite the looming tension, Harry and Meghan appear unbothered. The couple continues to focus on their life in California, working on creative projects and philanthropic efforts that keep them in the public eye.
With King Charles’s health reportedly in decline, many believe William could assume the throne sooner than expected—an event that could reshape the royal landscape for good.
