King Charles has reportedly stripped Megan Duchess of Sussex of her royal titles, effectively relegating her to communist status.
This unprecedented move has left Megan trembling and devastated as she faces the stock reality of a diminished position within the Royal hierarchy. The decision comes after years of strange relations between the sussexes and the royal family, beginning with Harry and Megan’s dramatic exit from Royal duties in 2020.
The final stroll came after Megan allegedly made disparaging comments about senior Royals during private conversations that were leaked to media outlets.
The legal mechanism for such a dramatic action required the king to issue a Royal Proclamation through the privy council, effectively reversing the titles granted by the late Queen Elizabeth II. Megan has been informed that she must cease using her Duchess of Sussex title immediately in all professional and personal capacities.
The timing of this dramatic move also coincides with what would have been a significant professional opportunity for Megan, who had been in preliminary discussions with major streaming platforms about a documentary series exploring her royal journey.
The Duchess title carried significant weight in American markets being forced back to Megan Markle represent a severe commercial setback.
The psychological impact may be even more significant. Friends of Megan describe her as devastated by what she perceives as the ultimate rejection from an institution she once heard hope to modernize despite her public statements about finding freedom outside the Royal structure.
Prince Harry faces his own dilemma, while he remains a prince by birth, with his wife stripped of her royal designation. The King has shown remarkable restraint by not addressing Harry’s titles at this time, but this action regarding Megan could be the first step in a longer process of distancing the monarchy from the sussexes.
