Prince William Plans Remove HRH Titles From Harry’s Children Upon Kingship

Prince William is reportedly preparing to strip Prince Harry's children, Archie and Lilibet, of their HRH (His/Her Royal Highness) titles once he becomes king. While Prince Harry reportedly wants his children to retain the option of becoming working royals in the future, William and royal insiders strongly oppose this, viewing it as inconsistent with Harry and Meghan's decision to step back from royal duties. The HRH style, a royal courtesy granted by the monarch, can be revoked by the reigning king, and experts have confirmed William's authority to remove the titles through a formal decree. The move is seen as both a response to Meghan's alleged misuse of the HRH style and a broader effort by William to overhaul the royal family and distance it from ongoing feuds and controversies. Royal sources describe William's actions as a mix of personal grievance and a desire to protect the monarchy's public image, emphasizing that Archie and Lilibet will not be considered working royals. The feud between the brothers has further intensified following Harry's memoir and the Sussexes' continued public use of royal titles despite prior agreements.
