In a shocking twist, King Charles III has stripped Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, of her royal titles, marking a dramatic escalation in the ongoing feud between the royal family and the Sussexes. The bombshell news broke just as Meghan and Prince Harry announced plans for another explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey—one that promises to deliver even more revelations than their infamous 2021 sit-down.
This latest chapter in the royal saga began shortly after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022. Many hoped that her son, King Charles III, would usher in a new era of peace for the embattled monarchy. However, those hopes were swiftly dashed. Barely weeks into his reign, Charles has made the unprecedented decision to strip Meghan of her royal titles, a move many view as retribution for the couple’s continued public critiques of the royal family.
The Duchess of Sussex’s first interview with Oprah shook the royal institution to its core. In it, Meghan accused the royal family of racism, neglect, and driving her to the brink of suicide during her time as a working royal. The fallout was swift: Harry and Meghan were stripped of their royal patronages, Harry lost his military titles, and they were forbidden from using “royal” in their branding. But now, King Charles has gone even further—officially removing Meghan’s right to use the “Her Royal Highness” title, significantly diminishing her royal status.
Insiders say this drastic step is the King’s direct response to Meghan and Harry’s upcoming interview, which is rumored to be even more explosive than the last. “Enough is enough,” a palace source told the Daily Mail. “Charles isn’t going to sit back and let Meghan and Harry continue to trash the family.”
The loss of the Duchess title could have serious consequences for the couple, who have built a lucrative media empire around their royal connections. The title was a key part of their public persona, bolstering their credibility in the celebrity world. Without it, their brand may take a significant hit, potentially reducing their ability to command high fees for media projects and public appearances.
But Meghan and Harry are not going quietly. Sources say the Duchess is furious, seeing the title removal as a personal attack from the King. “She believes this is Charles’s way of punishing them,” one insider told Page Six. The couple is reportedly gearing up to fight back hard in their new Oprah interview, determined to tell their side of the story and expose what they perceive as ongoing mistreatment from the royal family.
King Charles, however, appears unfazed. He is determined to defend the monarchy’s legacy at any cost. “Charles is done with the drama,” a palace insider revealed. “If Meghan and Harry want to make more accusations, that’s their prerogative, but they won’t be doing it as representatives of the royal family.”
As tensions reach an all-time high, both sides face significant stakes in this escalating battle. For Meghan and Harry, their titles have been key to their global influence and financial success. For Charles, the future of the monarchy could hang in the balance as he seeks to protect the crown’s reputation from further damage.
The world now waits with bated breath for the upcoming Oprah interview, which promises to be yet another wild chapter in the ongoing war between the Sussexes and the House of Windsor. As the drama unfolds, one thing is clear: the battle for control of the royal narrative is far from over, and its outcome could have lasting consequences for all involved.
