And so the fallout begins. A Tory MP is planning to bring forward proposed legislation that could eventually strip Harry and Meghan of their royal titles. Isle of Wight MP Bob Seely accused the Duke of Sussex of “attacking” the monarchy, calling it a “political issue.” Here’s what you need to know.
Seely suggested he could bring forward a short private members’ bill in the new year that, if passed, would see the MPs vote on a resolution that could give the Privy Council the power to downgrade the couple’s royal status. It comes after a new Netflix documentary on the couple began streaming on Thursday, in which Harry accused the royals of having a “huge level of unconscious bias” and Meghan saying the media wanted to “destroy” her. Much focus in Harry and Meghan is also placed on media intrusion, with Prince Harry once again saying that his greatest fear was “history repeating itself” as he talks about the death of his mother, Princess Diana.
Tory MP Says Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Should Be Stripped From Their Titles Immediately
Seely said that he had been considering his private members’ bill even before the latest controversy over the Netflix documentary. It would amend the royal 1917 Titles Deprivation Act, which stripped royal titles from those who supported Germany in the First World War.
Meanwhile, a controversy has broken out over whether the royal family and the palaces were given the right to reply to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex‘s Netflix show. A senior palace source insisted Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace and members of the family were not approached for comment on content in the series.
However, a Netflix source insisted the communications offices for the King and the Prince of Wales were contacted in advance and given the chance to react to Harry and Meghan’s claims. So far both Harry and Meghan have not commented on any of the criticism.
