Prince Harry and Meghan Markle being stripped of their royal titles would be “meaningless and mean-spirited”, a commentator has claimed.
In a debate on Sky Australia, Sky News host James Macpherson claimed everyone in the Royal Family would be happier if the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were to officially renounce their titles.
He said: “They’ve done nothing but complain from the moment they were born into or married into the Royal Family.
“So make them happy. Get them out of there.”
“Now you take away his title. Who does he become? He will only be Harry Wales.”
A panel in the studio was asked to vote, and the vote returned as 9-3, in favour of the Sussexes keeping their titles.
One of the panel members voted that they should be kicked out, said: “At the end of the day, life is about choices. And I think they’ve made theirs quite clear.”
Meanwhile, a woman who voted that they should keep their titles said it should be considered that if the couple were to divorce, Prince Harry should be allowed to return to the royal family.
“I don’t see any harm in keeping their royal titles but I don’t think they’re worth much,” she added.
