Allegedly.. Meghan Markle Is 'Preparing To Sue' Prince William.. Meghan Markle's legal battle: Prince William title cuts threaten Sussex business empire

This extraordinary move, according to well-placed royal sources, stems from a palpable and growing fear that Prince William, once he ascends to the throne as King, may move to strip the former actress of her title, Duchess of Sussex.

This possibility has become terrifyingly real for the Californian-based royal following the recent, highly publicised, and definitive actions taken by King Charles III against his own brother, Prince Andrew. The King formally and unambiguously stripped Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor of all his remaining royal titles, styles, and honours in October 2025, an unprecedented move designed to 'slim down' the monarchy.
This decisive act, reportedly urged on by William and Catherine, the Princess of Wales, has served as a stark and worrying pre-cursor for Meghan.

She is not prepared to wait for a fate similar to her disgraced uncle-in-law.
'Meghan's not taking any chances and she's willing to fight to keep her title,

Omg…

Prince Harry with Megan Markle

She can just continue to use it anyway, the same way we all still called Princess Diana, well, Princess Diana. What are they going to do?

Even though Diana was never Princess Diana.

I doubt a lot that William will do that or that Meghan would sue. It would be dumb on both sides.

Also, if someone was to sue would be Harry no? It's him with the birthright not his wife. So it's Harry the interested one and who knows the inside politics better.

Edited

Agree, this is the stupidest story I have seen for a long time.

Yawn

twinklystar23 · 21/11/2025 21:07

It would make sense that only working royals retain a title. However I can't see that William would remove Harry's prince title, at which point Meghan would be Princess Henry. Unless he was intending to go full scorched earth removing titles of Princess beatrixe and eugenie and other non-working royals. The difficulty in removing her duchess title she may just refer to herself as Princess meghan as she doesn't follow the agreement with the HRH anyhow.

Shirleyynot · 21/11/2025 21:20

Well it could make sense that she’s future proofing her brand (for if when William tries to remove it). She’s always used the title even when it’s been ridiculous (see tatler interview comment, signing books as the Duchess of Sussex etc), it’s her brand and she’s not going to let go. And lawyers would def help her out. Whether they thought she had a case or not..

FuzzyWolf · 21/11/2025 21:22

Sarah Ferguson’s brand was Sarah, Duchess of York and she couldn’t keep that when Andrew lost his dukedom so Meghan (or anyone else) would have to expect the same.

Markle is not american per the 1790 naturalization act. "White only citizenship"

Markle being mixed race (or "mulatto" as the pedo, racist tyrant thomas jefferson labelled one of his 600 runaway slaves in that advert to recover her), she would have been an illegal entity in Caifornia until as recent as 1947 as interracial marraige was illegal there (another 20 years until it became legal all ove that white settler entity)

White only citizenship, and no race mixing, those are just two of america's race laws, and as the global leader of race law they inspired the Nuremberg laws of Nazi Germany who emulated those with the citizenship law and blood law.

ChessorBuckaroo · 21/11/2025 21:39

Next year the explicity white settler entity will "celebrate" 250 years of this.

Bad enough anyone celebrating this, but the like of of ignoramuses like Markle, an individual who, via her race, is not american per its 1790 naturalization act ("whites only"), and post WWII was an illegal entity being mixed race per its anti-miscegenation law (no race mixing), cheering on, waving a white settler flag and listening to the pro slavery national anthem (3rd verse, which excoriated the slaves, her ancestors, for fleeing the plantations of washington et al, no longer sung) written by yet another slave owning tyrant, its bloody hilarious.

Facebook labels declaration of independence as 'hate speech'

The website told a local newspaper they violated its community guidelines by posting the original document

Wonder does this get taught during their "patriotic education" in history class?

Two sculptures stood outside the Capitol building (built by African slaves) for over a century (1837 to 1950), both representing the "triumph of the whites over the savage tribes" (the "savages" being PEOPLE, Native PEOPLE).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Discovery_of_America_(sculpture)

President James Buchanan described the statue as representing "the great discoverer when he first bounded with ecstasy upon the shore, ail his toils past, presenting a hemisphere to the astonished world, with the name America inscribed upon it. Whilst he is thus standing upon the shore, a female savage, with awe and wonder depicted in her countenance, is gazing upon him"

Another day, another article from so called sources of what she is allegedly doing....and ching ching ching more.clickbait articles to keep the money rolling in for these papers.

🙄

Bumblebee72 · 21/11/2025 21:58

How do you sue someone for something you may think that they may do in the future?

Spectre8 · 21/11/2025 21:59

And your title is misleading OP, it should say is allegedly preparing...because yout title presents this as a fact and not just yet another runour

I'm confused. According to the US Naturalization Oath, Harry will have to give up his title:

https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship/learn-about-citizenship/the-naturalization-interview-and-test/naturalization-oath-of-allegiance-to-the-united-states-of-america

Are you trying to say that Meghan is not a US citizen? If so, is her US passport invalid? Is she a citizen of what country?

RosaMundi27 · 21/11/2025 22:12

Utter nonsense - there is nothing in UK law which prevents an English monarch from withdrawing titles. They are within the monarch's gift and can be withdrawn at their wish. In any case, as other posters have pointed out, Meghan only has a title because of her husband.

NewAgeNewMe · 21/11/2025 23:01

Imo if not a working royal or heir apparent then no title. No titles for Charlotte, Louis, Beatrice, Eugenie, Archie or lilibet unless they become heir apparent or (ex) working royals. Make it retrospective. No dukes of York or Sussex. Strip it. They don’t deserve them. Louis not to get a dukedom on marriage. Streamline.

Edward is Louis’s equivalent and he only received a dukedom shortly after the death of his mother and even then, it’s not a hereditary one.

Working royals have titles and those who retire late in life (such as Philip) can retain them but all others lose them when the quit the job.

They (she) wanted out of the RF, made spiteful allegations when his grandfather was dying and his grandmother was increasingly frail.
Harry is trying to worm his way back in with Charles now he has run out of money making schemes. I think Charles would be open to reconciliation but William is having none of it. As soon as he claims the crown i reckon H&M will be toast 😆

Those poor, frail, old, (and extremely powerful) people were busy covering for, and propping up, their second son - a disgraceful, and now disgraced, man.

The fish stinks from the head.

I thought Edward was the Duke of Essex? Before being given title of DoE. And that his son would inherit the Duke of Essex title?

No one in the US gives a damn about titles. if Harry becomes a US citizen, he will have to give up the title.

Earl of Wessex.

Edward is still the Earl of Wessex as well as being now Duke of Edinburgh but now his son is entitled to use his secondary title.

So James is now styled as Earl of Wessex.

The Edinburgh title is not hereditary so when Edward dies the Earl of Wessex title will be James’ in his own right, and his first born son will then be titled Viscount Severn.

Before the Queen died Harry’s son was entitled to use Harry’s secondary from birth title too: Earl of Dumbarton.

This is drivel. For a start, Andrew wasn’t stripped of his title in an effort to “slim down” the monarchy; he was stripped of his title because he turned out to be a rapist of trafficked women. They can’t possibly be seen to put Harry in the same category by stripping him of his titles.

Yes. Either they have made it all up and have their facts wrong ( almost certainly the case) or they have a 'well placed Royal source' who is already trying to rehabilitate Andrew by pretending that the stripping of his title was nothing to do with his horrendous behaviour and was just an administrative task.

I guess the “Duke of Basildon” has a ring to it.
