Buckingham Palace should go beyond stripping Prince Harry’s HRH title and remove him from the line of succession altogether, an expert told Palace Confidential.
The Daily Mail’s diary editor Richard Eden told this week’s program that Buckingham Palace’s decision to quietly remove the title of Prince Harry’s HRH from its profile page on its website last week was a “minor” and “trivial” move. used to be.
“They should go much further,” he told the program. What really matters is that he’s still in the line of succession. God forbid that if anything happened to the royal family, he would become our king.
“That should come to an end, he should be removed from the line of succession, and he’s still one of those counselors of state who can replace the king…why not remove him?”
He added: “It’s ridiculous to do small things to the website – deal with the big things and make the big changes that matter.”

Assistant editor of the Mail on Sunday, Kate Mansey, said the changes made to the Palace’s website are a sign that “slowly but surely[Harry and Meghan]will not be allowed in again.”
While discussing the possible reaction from the Sussexes across the pond in Montecito, Kate said the pair “definitely” couldn’t be surprised by the changes, and in any case, they’re not supposed to be the HRH- use titles.
She added: “Harry has made quite a few references to the fact that he’s still in line to the throne, so… some of that might upset him, because he’s being knocked to the ground.”
News also broke this week that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would be producing a screen version of Carley Fortune’s novel The Meet Me At The Lake as part of their £80 million deal with Netflix. The streaming giant bought the rights to the book for £3 million.
Kate Mansey issued a warning that the Sussexes may not have many more chances to become the Hollywood players they hope to be.
“It really feels like a last chance for that Netflix deal,” she said.
“They lost the Spotify deal and there are question marks over their future as media operators in Hollywood.

During the episode, Richard Eden and Mail on Sunday assistant editor Kate Mansey (pictured, right) also discussed the news that the Sussexes are about to produce a film version of Carley’s novel Meet Me by the Lake Fortune’.
“I think everyone will be watching this and there will be a lot at stake on this project.”
Eden added that while initial reports had suggested the couple had bought the rights to the novel themselves, it has since emerged that Netflix was involved in the deal and gave the project to the Sussexes.
He added: “So if it doesn’t work out with Archewell, they could very well take it back and give it to someone else, it’s not skin off Netflix.”
Richard continued to speak about the Sussexes deal with the streaming giant, saying: “We’ve already had one project that was announced to much fanfare – Meghan’s animated series Pearl… but it never happened. It was quietly dumped.
“And I think Netflix had this hard game with Harry and Megan where they want to be the personal stuff… where they wreck the royal family… That’s what Netflix really wants.”
