Royal Title Turmoil: Prince Harry And Meghan’s Status Under Threat Amid ‘Endgame’ Controversy
-
- December 8, 2023
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, are reportedly facing the possibility of being stripped of their royal titles following claims of racism within the royal family, as presented in Omid Scobie’s new book, “Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight for Survival.” The contentious issue stems from a translation error in the Dutch version of the book, which incorrectly identified King Charles and the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, as the members of the royal family who had allegedly raised concerns over the skin color of Harry and Meghan’s son, Archie, before his birth in 2019.
Prince Harry and Meghan’s Status Under Threat Amid Endgame Controversy
UK Parliament member Bob Seely is pushing for a bill that might result in the removal of Harry and Meghan’s Duke and Duchess titles, spurred by the inflammatory allegations of racism that have marred the royal family’s image. Seely’s proposed legislation would revise laws dating back to the First World War, potentially relegating the Sussexes to “Mr. and Mrs. Sussex.”
The scandal has escalated since the recall of over 5,000 copies of “Endgame” in the Netherlands after the erroneous identification of King Charles and Kate. Xander Uitgevers, the publisher responsible for the Dutch edition, halted further distribution due to the sensitive nature of the error.
Despite vehement denials from Meghan and Scobie regarding their involvement in the leak, the gravity of the situation is palpable. Scobie has since launched an investigation, expressing frustration over the unauthorized disclosure of names that were never intended to be public.

As tension mounts within the royal family, Prince William is said to be seeking decisive action, with plans to convene with King Charles to strategize on addressing the fallout from these controversial claims.
This unfolding drama not only casts a shadow over the Sussexes’ future within the monarchy but also raises questions about the longstanding implications for the royal family’s public perception and unity.
