Prince Harry Urged to Suspend Royal Title by Royal Expert
A royal expert has suggested that Prince Harry should request that the Queen suspend his royal titles, claiming that he has outgrown them.
Lady Colin Campbell, who authored the book Meghan and Harry—the real story, has launched a petition calling on the Duke of Sussex to ask the Queen to put his titles into abeyance, meaning they would be temporarily suspended from use.
More than 21,000 people have signed the petition so far.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced on January 8, 2020, that they would step back from senior positions within the royal family after talks with Prince Charles, Prince William, and the Queen at Sandringham.
Since then, they have given a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, signed multimillion-dollar deals with Spotify and Netflix, and Harry has released a documentary series on Apple TV Plus about mental health.
Lady C believes that suspending Harry's titles would be the right thing to do and would free him from the diplomatic, political, and constitutional constraints that come with royal rank.
