Prince William is prepping to level up and become king, and apparently he’s planning some major changes. Including but not limited to stripping the majority of his immediate family of their royal titles.
According to The Daily Beast William will “remove princely titles from all non-working royals,” and they’ll also be stripped of their “HRH” (aka His/Her Royal Highness) honorifics. These prince/princess titles are technically protected by law, but Prince William is planning to issue an executive royal order via a “letters patent” which will allow him to switch things up. So…which members of the royal family are getting stripped of their titles once Prince William becomes King William V? How long do you have?!
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were asked to stop using their HRH titles when they chose to step down as Senior Working Royals. However, there was some drama back in April, when Meghan signed a gift basket note “with the Compliments of HRH The Duchess of Sussex.”
