Time The Sussex Titles Were Removed

After today's revelations, where the Queen Consort has been reviled by Harry in his book (which has been released in Spain already) I think the King will now remove the Sussex titles from Harry and Meghan.

Not before time.

I mean I cannot see what possible benefit there can be for the titles to remain now.

The King also needs to clarify that the children of H & M will not get titles.

Parliament is needed to remove a peerage. The King can’t remove it.

Just waiting for the whataboutandrew comments ……

Not sure Charles has the power to remove their titles. I certainly think Harry needs to be removed from the line of succession. But that would be difficult I think. Legally speaking.

Oh yes, I expect someone will post about Andrew fairly soon.

Yes, it would require an Act of Parliament but I think the King needs to ask Sunak to get going on the subject.

It would need to be done through parliament. In the olden days a good old Act of Attainder would have done it. Strips them of everything.

I've never heard of that.

Hopefully Parliament is too fucking busy doing stuff that actually affects people's lives. Mind if we shelve this for a while OP, seeing as, you know, it really really doesn't matter in the scheme of things?

Wowsers. Nobody forced you to post on this thread.

That’s the thing about hereditary peerage, isn’t it? “Deserve” ain’t got nothing to do with it.

They won’t be stupid enough to remove them because if you start saying you can’t be a wanker and a Duke where will that leave all the other Dukes?

I am only concerned with H because he has behaved so badly towards his family and I just don't know what is going to stop him.

Exactly.

Where exactly in wankerism do we draw the line, and who gets to decide?

JFC have I walked into the Daily Mail comments section by mistake ?
The whole of mumsnet taken over by royalists frothing at the mouth.
Even trying to manipulate how people respond to your post and what they can and can't say.
Half of you sound like the lift's not going all the way to the top floor.

I've never heard of that.

Its a medieval thing. Essentially allows parliament to bypass the law courts and declare someone guilty of a crime e.g. treason. It was usually used against rebellious noblemen as it meant they then forfeited their titles and lands. Might be a bit extreme here though!

RichardOsmansXraySpecs · 05/01/2023 14:54

Yes strip him of everything fgs, he's actually out of control. Does he not realise it just makes him look stupid?

Wonder where all this will end? Totally burning your bridges with your family and for what?? Wouldn't surprise me if he ends up like his mother. Sad but true.

IMO nothing is too extreme for H & M now.

They've behaved so badly and I am glad the late Queen is no longer around to hear about it.

All Dukes, or all members of the RF?

I really don’t think they’d care. They’ve been treated frankly absolutely appallingly by the family so I’m not surprised they wanted to move away. I would too.

Again …….. they moved away because they didn’t get their own way .

pelargoniums · 05/01/2023 17:01

Why do their titles need to be removed?

YetMoreNewBeginnings · 05/01/2023 17:04

Also if the Sussex title is removed they’ll be Prince Harry and Princess Henry/Harry and that may be more saleable for them…

x2boys · 05/01/2023 17:05

Yes KC,is absolutely going to take advice from a bunch of obsessed posters o mumsnet.
