Harry to be removed from the line of succession?

[Thinkingabouttherapy]

Apparently this has been discussed at the Balmoral summit: an act of parliament to remove Harry and his heirs from the line of succession as they are no longer U.K. residents or working royals. Makes sense to me - I doubt many people would object. Don’t the Swedish royals have a similar rule? They only keep their titles & place in succession if they live in Sweden? Handy precedent there.

H and M have a hugely expensive lifestyle . Security , mortgage , a large number of staff plus travel, clothes etc . That’s fine if you have an ongoing income stream but unless H and M secure other income sources , that money won’t last forever .

I agree. There's no point in taking him out of the LoS.
Harry and Meghan are interesting now because they're controversial. They're prepared to dish dirt for money, and folks will pay them. However, the longer they're away from the RF, the less dirt they'll have to sell, so there will surely be a point where Netflix or whoever will say - you're no longer relevant.
So it'll sort itself out, imo.

I stuck to your post. You said Andrew hasn't been convicted of a crime as a reason not to strop him of his titles. Nor has Harry. Only one of them has been accused of a crime and has been the subject of an FBI investigation.

I think Netflix etc will ( and probably are) losing interest because H and M have no on- going Royal gossip to share . Most of us love a bit of gossip but if there’s nothing new , interest wanes.

The important difference is that Andrew fully supports the institution that is the Royal Family. He is fully on board with it, has never said a word against it. He is a bad 'un, but not a hypocryte in this respect. Oh, and he is not 'fine'.

Harry has spent four years attacking the institution that is the Royal Family and individuals within it, including the HoS. A rational.8ndividual would conclude that he'd want his and his childrens' titles removed.

The chances of them ever getting there are close to zero anyway almost probably not worth the hassle. The current faze out is achieving the same.

@Rhaidimiddim but what are Harry and Meghan without the titles? Nothing.
They love being royal with all the bowing and wealth and the tours and privilege. What they didn't want was to fit in with official royalty. I think it was too much like hard work. Easier to tell all in a book or whatever and rake it in.
Ker- ching!

Why won’t you lot let it go?

There are plenty of other threads to read 🤷‍♀️

Why won't you lot let folks discuss what they want?

Andrew hasn't been found guilty of any crimes.

Meghan was on Ms Guiffre's witness list, and the visa application case thas thrown up the suggestion that Harry may have been 'got off' criminal charges at some point.

I doubt whether it’s under serious consideration. However a case could be made for it, given his active hostility towards the institution of the British monarchy.

The more serious issue is them styling themselves as royal for personal gain, such as the recent jollies to Nigeria and Columbia. Charles could stop this by removing their HRH and Prince/Princess titles by Letters Patent. It’s really feeble of him not to tackle this.

Well only if it got through Parliament, which it wouldn’t. The King hasn’t been able to make laws for some centuries, not that he’d want to do this.

Eh? Too much like hard work???

Hard work doesn't exactly seem to be a requirement😂😂😂

What's it to you?

I don't think there's any point in dropping Harry from the line of succession. It would just give them more grist for their mill.

He's been a festering sore on his family's backs for years but it's not a crime. Neither has Andrew been found guilty of a crime. I still don't want to see either man on the throne!

Completely agree.

But I was responding to someone who was asking, why strip Harry and not Andrew.

Do you have some intimate knowledge the rest of us aren't privy to, pray tell?

True 😅, but it was always too much for Hazza, according to what he wrote in Spare!
He was "too tired" to go on one tour, poor lad.

As the article says, it might / could happen by an act of parliament. The likelihood of that happening is near zero. There are several preceding Harry in line to the throne. They'd all have to die first.

Ooo Meghan won't like this

@Thinkingabouttherapy what a sad life you must live if these are the thoughts that occupy your mind. 💐

Let what go, exactly?

Are we being unreasonanle in being concerned that someone totally unsuitable is uncomfortably in the running to be our HoS? And wanting to discuss how we feel the situation should be handled?

Morally, I think they should have their titles taken away but the RF are probably doing the right thing by just ignoring them. Silence ,as they say, can be very powerful and definitely more irritating to those who are trying to gain attention.

Too much for poor Meghan in SA.

I think every bit of Royal status they take away diminishes his earning potential and ability to sell himself. Ultimately he can keep selling the same old droning stuff- his mother, the bereavement, the rows with William etc but it's all old news. They should never give him new stuff, or allow him to retain any status in the Royal family.
I favour all Royal Dukedoms/titles only being for working royals and outside of the monarch, heir and his/her heir(s) the titles should be for life only and not passed on. I would change that now so that the Dukes of Kent and Gloucester can not pass on titles to their children, and I would remove titles their children currently have. I'd remove the titles of Andrew and his daughters, Prince and Princess Michael of Kent and their children, Princess Alexandra and her children, Harry and his children, the children of Edward and Sophie-(unless these two are to be full-time working members of the Royal family.)
