Prince Harry could eventually lose his title like Andrew — ‘would not be surprised’: royal source

Palace sources have told Page Six that they “would not be surprised” if Prince Harry eventually lost his title, similar to his uncle Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew. This warning for Harry, 41, comes as British politician Rachael Maskell has relaunched her proposal for a “Removal of Titles Bill.” The bill would grant King Charles—and crucially, heir-to-the-throne Prince William—the power to remove hereditary titles.

“If they pass these bills, I would not be surprised if Harry is the next one to go,” a well-placed royal source told Page Six. “I would not be surprised if William does that. He’s not a vindictive person, but he feels very let down and it’s always much more difficult when you are let down by somebody close to you.”

Representatives for both William and Harry have been contacted for comment. The brothers have not spoken in over two years, and sources close to William, 43, have made it clear that he was left furious by Harry’s 2023 memoir, *Spare*. The book contains accusations that the future king physically attacked his younger brother and claims that Kate Middleton was among the senior royals who allegedly made “racist” remarks about Harry and Meghan Markle’s children, among other allegations.

Royal writer Hugo Vickers has noted that the estrangement between the brothers is so severe that William may not even invite Harry to his upcoming coronation. “Harry must be quite scared,” a palace insider added in reference to MP Maskell’s proposed bill. The legislation was initially shot down after its introduction in 2022 but has resurfaced in light of the recent news involving Andrew.

Harry, the son of King Charles and the late Princess Diana, was born a prince. On his wedding day in May 2018, his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, granted him and Meghan Markle the titles Duke and Duchess of Sussex. However, when they stepped back from royal duties in 2020, Harry and Meghan agreed not to use their HRH titles for commercial purposes.

In a stunning recent development, King Charles stripped his younger brother Andrew of his prince title last week. Palace officials spent days quietly working on the plan alongside lawyers and government officials. The process involved the monarch issuing Royal warrants to the Lord Chancellor, David Lammy, officially removing Andrew’s titles from the Peerage Roll.

Andrew, 65, remains embroiled in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal after being accused of having sexual encounters with accuser Virginia Giuffre when she was 17. Although Andrew settled out of court with Giuffre in 2022, he has never been charged or convicted of any crime.

Page Six has been told that the decision to remove Andrew’s titles was made by King Charles, with full support from Prince William.
