An unnamed source told the Daily Express on Monday that William had persuaded King Charles to issue a letter describing Harry and Meghan as “private citizens.”
The source claimed William saw this as a success and would keep asking his father to remove their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles.
Commentator Mark Dolan said he believes William would try to remove the titles as King if Charles does not act. He warned that this could make the relationship between the brothers even worse.
Dolan also argued that Harry and Meghan could use any attempt to remove their titles to support claims that the royal family has treated them unfairly.
In his view, keeping the titles allows the couple to present themselves as royal, which he sees as a problem for the monarchy.
Dolan said he does not expect Charles to remove the titles, but believes William would pursue it. These comments reflect the views of the source and commentator, rather than a confirmed plan.
