Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will not be stripped of royal titles due to 'Queen's gift'

Grant Harrold, a former royal butler, has predicted the couple will be allowed to keep their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles due to the fact they were granted by the late Queen.

Harrold said: "I know a lot of people think that King Charles should strip Harry of his royal title.

"Kings and Queens would historically strip royal titles for treason to the crown.

"I think Charles is damned if he does, and damned if he doesn’t when it comes to Harry.

"At the moment, I think there is not a real justified reason for him to strip Harry’s Duke of Sussex title."

"Another reason he probably will not is that the Queen gave it to Harry as a gift.

"For Charles to take the title off Harry, he’s taking a gift from his mother away from her grandchild. I really don’t think he will."

He added during an interview with Slingo: "I think the titles of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex is something that will definitely remain with Harry and Meghan."

It comes as Prince Harry attended King Charles's Coronation on his own on Saturday.

Meghan Markle chose not to attended the ceremony, instead remaining in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

The Duke of Sussex rushed back from his father's Coronation in order to celebrate Prince Archie's fourth birthday with Meghan in the US.

He flew immediately back to Los Angles following the historic ceremony.

Whilst senior members of the Royal Family headed to Buckingham Palace to watch the flypast, the Duke of Sussex darted to Heathrow Airport to catch his flight home.

The direct flight to Los Angeles landed just before 6.30pm local time on Saturday evening.
