Let's Play "Make Pretend"

Technically there is no need, as TW never finished her British Citizenship process, and Americans can't hold titles. But I agree, the Sussex title should be stripped before the divorce so she can't try to use it. He should be left with his Earl title.

You really think she won't style herself however she wants, regardless of legitimacy? She'll probably call herself Lady Sovereign Empress of the World - facts do not seem to deter her.

If you’re asking about titles: a divorced woman keeps the title, sort of.

Say the Duke of X married Jane Smith. During her marriage, she’d be known as the Duchess of X.

After the divorce, she’d be known as Jane, Duchess of X. This is to distinguish her from the Duke of X’s current wife, who’s now known as - you guessed it: the Duchess of X. If they were on a guest list, they’d be down as the Duchess of X; and Jane, Duchess of X.

This is why it was (and still is) curious that Smeg’s referred to as if she were a divorced duchess: Smeg, the Duchess of Sussex. My guess is that she started this, because she liked seeing her name up there. The Princess of Wales was always known simply as the Duchess of Cambridge.

It would be hugely amusing if, before the divorce, the King removed all of Harry’s titles except the Kilkeel barony. This means that divorced Smeg would be known as Smeg, Lady Kilkeel, dropping about 4 ranks. However I don’t know whether a royal prince could be given a mere barony on its own - they can be less than dukes, viz the Earl of Wessex.

The BRF will not negotiate with terrorist even if one half of the two is considered domestic! They are not going to bail H out- babysitting days of H are over not because of what he did- but because a new reign is here with new spares that need to be taken care of.

Harry, with or without M, will get the same treatment or even slightly worse just because they were assholes not because of racism than andrew.

They brought out PG & PC as part of the procession to emphasize the new senior royals who would be the main concern moving forward & that does not include overseas no mater how many letters, books, interviews or what not.

oh the irony- she waits 2 and half years to produce something and finally gets a cover (back cover but I guess the princess now takes whatever she gets) and does a speech to a crowd and the fake royal tour had given her hope w/ red carpet - and what does she do when given the mic talk all kinds of shit about RF, compare herself to Nelson, threaten them with releasing more & sticks in the last award by saying H lost his father.

Think Jon Snow from GOT (to avoid spoiling it) remember what the brothers of the knight did to him, only because they thought they’d never see him again- it’s that level of betrayal H and M did to POW and our new King, Charles- Do you think they pay them off? What could the BRF lose- she called them racist it can’t get her worse than that. And her word or recollection have already been soiled by all the other times she lied - and someone came forward to correct it.

Even if he stripped the dukedom, he'd still be Prince Henry and she'd be Princess Henry. The divorce doesn't make a difference. She'd be Princess Henry till she remarried. If Harry remarried first then his current wife would be "the princess Henry" and Meghan would technically be "Princess Henry". She'd try to make Princess Meghan stick, but probably to no avail.

Oh, she will pull a LuAnn and call herself Duchess forever.

The people of Sussex are petitioning now to have their dukedom revoked! Hopefully something comes of this. However I honestly think Charles wouldn't let her keep her title if she and Harry divorced and he returned to the BRF (in some sort of capacity. Obviously he'll never be a working royal again)

I would love to see her be just old has-been D-list actress Meghan who?, a person who wanted to famous but never was. For that to happen is just not only complicated, it seems it can't happen. I can sure understand how Diana kept her title being she gave birth to the heir but Fergie always mucked things up in this title game in my understanding. Does it hinge on her remarrying IF they _do_ divorce? Appears so.

She told Oprah how little a title meant to her then she immediately milked it for all it was worth. Helps to merch I suppose. As an American, I would totally cringe if anyone called me "your royal highness", Sheesh, my name is Sonja and please don't call me "ma'am" or fetch me stuff. She lives for that. It completes her in her delusion she's above everyone. And I mean everyone,

Even if The King revoked the Sussex title. He is still a prince. Who cares about a dukedom that clearly hazbeen doesn’t care about

She could go by princess Henry as I don't think harrys prince title can be taken, he's a prince by birth. Whether she's entitled to continue to use his prince title after a divorce I don't know. Diana was

KC will need The Jaws of Life to extract H from The Claw of Markle

She'll want to keep her duchess title just like Fergie did.

I don't think it's a wanting, I think it just that divorce does not affect your title.

But honestly, even if she keeps her title styled as a divorcee, how valuable is that at that point? She’s not going to rise from the ashes once she’s divorced…the mess they’ve made will still be here. Without the real royalty (Harry) she’s of no real interest to anyone. On her own she’s completely forgettable.

TBC, Harry can only lose the Prince title through an act of Parliament.

It would be helpful to put a sticky together of Royalty 101 covering titles and basics.

TW gave birth to the children of prince

I don't think she did.

Upon divorce she will still be Duchess of Sussex, until the day he remarries. Then she is back to plain Markle.

Harry is a Prince by birth, so even without his Ducal title, he's still a Prince.

He's a man of bad character who denigrated the monarchy at every turn. He & his wife have attempted to extort money and titles from his father—no new ones in this lifetime. Meghan can go by Madame X.
