Since Harry and Meghan announced their departure from the monarchy, many have questioned whether or not they should be stripped of their royal titles.
The couple first made the shock announcement that they would be stepping down from their royal duties on January 8, 2020.

The statement continued: “This geographic balance will allow us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also giving our family the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charity.” . entity.’
Since then, the issue of their titles has become more and more pressing, as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have continuously attacked the royal family, starting with the Oprah interview, then following up with a Netflix documentary, and finally with the release of Harry’s memoir, which he has been promoting in a series of interviews.
The couple first made the announcement that they would be retiring from their royal duties in 2020.
The duke, 38, addressed the matter himself during his revealing interview with 60 Minutes, suggesting the couple have no intention of giving up status as it wouldn’t “make a difference”.
Anderson Cooper asked: ‘Why not give up your titles as Duke and Duchess?’
Prince Harry replied: ‘And what difference would that make?’
This statement contradicts Harry’s previous claims in his Netflix docuseries, saying that he and Meghan told King Charles that they would relinquish their royal titles if their match failed.
The 38-year-old prince addressed the burning question surrounding his and his wife’s royal titles during a revealing new interview with 60 Minutes, which aired on Sunday.
During the series, he said that when he spoke to his father Charles from Canada at Christmas 2019, the family knew they wanted to leave.
Speaking of the initial conversations, he added: “My father said: ‘Can you put it in writing?’
Harry said he’d rather not, but relented, adding, “He said he couldn’t do anything unless it was put in writing.” I put it in the emails.
Over footage of Meghan sighing, Harry said he sent messages on January 1, 2 and 3.
The Duke adds: “In one of those, I said that if it didn’t work out, we would be willing to relinquish our Sussex titles if necessary.” That was the plan.
