Megyn Kelly Predicts Stripping of Harry and Meghan’s Royal Titles
In a recent commentary, media personality Megyn Kelly voiced her strong conviction that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are on borrowed time regarding their royal titles. Kelly suggests that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will eventually follow a similar path to Prince Andrew, who was recently stripped of his Duke of York title amid public scrutiny.
Kelly, known for her critical stance on the couple, stated, “King William, in whatever years it takes after he ascends, I think he’s going to take away their royal titles, and that should happen ASAP.” Speaking to the Daily Mail, she emphasized that the couple operates more as a brand than as members of the royal bloodline.
“These two are all about themselves. I think it’s a matter of time before they lose their titles, and they definitely have lost support here in the United States,” she added.
She cited the couple’s recent booing at the World Series as evidence of their dwindling public favor, asserting, “You saw them get booed at the game the other day. That’s real.” This sentiment aligns with ongoing speculation that Harry and Meghan’s move away from royal duties could ultimately lead to the full revocation of their titles.
While the couple agreed to forgo the use of “HRH” (His or Her Royal Highness) upon stepping back from royal duties in 2020, they have retained their titles as Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Their children, Archie and Lilibet, were formally recognized as Prince and Princess after King Charles’s coronation.
The conversation around title revocation has gained renewed traction, particularly in the wake of Prince Andrew’s recent relinquishment of his Duke of York title. This change came after intense scrutiny over his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, with insiders suggesting Prince William exerted “gentle but firm pressure” for the decision.
Kelly further criticized Meghan for leveraging her royal status, remarking, “She is dining out over here on the British royal titles, the family she called racist, the people she called racist.”
Adding to the unfolding narrative, British MP Rachael Maskell is reportedly reviving a proposal that would empower the reigning monarch to remove hereditary titles. An insider shared with Page Six, “If they pass these bills, I would not be surprised if Harry is the next one to go… I would not be surprised if William does that… he’s not a vindictive person, but he feels very let down, and it’s always much more difficult when you are let down by somebody close to you.”
