Prince William Plans to Remove Meghan Markle’s Royal Title Upon Taking the Throne
In 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped back as working members of the royal family. Although Queen Elizabeth II did not remove their HRH titles, they agreed not to use them publicly.
Five years later, controversy emerged after Meghan reportedly signed a private gift using “HRH,” short for Her Royal Highness. The present — jam from her As Ever brand — was said to be shared between friends, suggesting no formal rules were broken.
The issue escalated when the gift became public. According to Page Six, recipient Jamie Kern Lima displayed the card on her podcast, drawing wider attention.
Royal insiders claim Prince William is angered by the incident and may seek to formally remove Meghan’s HRH title when he becomes king. One source suggested King Charles has tolerated the situation, but William would not.
Another insider alleged that William feels deeply betrayed and views any use of royal status as inappropriate. Tensions between the brothers were again highlighted in the reports.
A friend of William further claimed that King Charles III has lost control of the situation, arguing that Meghan’s actions demonstrate his reluctance to intervene. The source suggested a future monarch would act decisively.
The debate has extended into media discussions, including commentary on The View, where panelists questioned whether Meghan should continue using the HRH style, even privately.
