Majority of Readers Believe Losing Royal Titles Would Damage Duke and Duchess of Sussex
A recent poll conducted on Sussex.co.uk has revealed that a significant 83% of respondents believe that losing their royal titles would be damaging for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
This comes after questions have been raised about the couple's titles in the wake of their controversial Oprah Winfrey interview.
Many readers who participated in the poll expressed their views on the matter.
One reader insisted that if the couple is not working in royal roles, they should not be using their titles.
Another reader stated that while losing their titles may affect their income and access to celebrity circles, they should be held accountable and lose their titles and line of succession.
A third reader agreed that losing their titles would indeed affect them and called for it to be done immediately.

Another reader expressed anger towards the couple, stating that losing their titles would be good as it would damage them further, especially since they have set out to damage the royal family from the start.
While some readers believe that losing their titles would damage Meghan more than Harry, others are of the opinion that if they play their cards right and become savvy, they could ultimately survive on single name status like Adele, Beyonce, Jay-Z, etc.
Royal commentator Daniela Elsa has stated that Buckingham Palace finds itself stuck in a bind when it comes to Meghan and Prince Harry's titles.
Writing for news.com.au, Ms Elsa said, “for one thing, it would make the 95-year-old monarch look quite petty and vindictive.”
She also believes that for those squarely in the pro-Harry and Meghan camp, this sort of move would confirm their view that the Queen is a mean-spirited nonagenarian out to punish the only bi-racial member of her extended family.
Lady Colin Campbell, who has launched a petition asking Harry to give up his titles, insists that he doesn't need them.
She told the Daily Star that it is the best solution because it frees Harry to be able to indulge himself without consequence and without doing damage to the institution of the monarchy of the British nation, the British people, and himself.
As part of Megxit, the couple agreed to stop using their HRH styles but they are still referred to as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
The couple has since hit out at the royal family in their Tell All TV interview, which aired in March.
Harry went on to lash out at the royals in a podcast interview last month and during his Apple TV documentary series, The Me You Can't See.
The issue of the couple's royal titles has been a subject of debate for some time now.
While some believe that losing their titles would be damaging, others argue that it would free them from the constraints of royal life and allow them to live a more independent life.
In conclusion, while the debate on the couple's titles continues, it is clear that many readers believe that losing their titles would be detrimental to their public image.
