I READ the article in the Argus on December 16 reporting that "Argus readers have their say on Duke and Duchess" implying a negative outcome, when, in fact, 51 per cent voted no to stripping the title off Harry and Megan!

Such absolute nonsense to have started such a rude petition in the first place.

Your caption on Monday should have screamed "Brighton loves you, Your Royal Highnesses Duke and Duchess of Sussex from a majority vote!"

You mentioned 3,696 people have signed the petition to remove the title.

Are they a pack of cards? What grievance has each of the 3,696 people got against the couple?

How has each of these voters been personally wounded by the royal couple?

I think the negative voters are a pack of cards with no personal grievance, but just monkeying around following master!

You state 51 per cent said they did not want the titles to be taken away.

Therefore the majority wins! So Argus shut up over this nonsensical idea and stop

giving the losers more ammunition and publicity. What a shame it was even

brought up!

It is a privilege and honour to have two members of the Royal Family linked with our city and county, and giving Brighton one more appeal to come and visit this city. I am delighted Harry and Megan are linked with Brighton with their title, to raise Brighton's image when the city is so often associated with vulgarity and gaudiness.

I apologise to Prince Harry and Megan with the offensive petition which does not reflect the view of the majority of dwellers here.

And I hope the full council will dismiss any further deliberation over the title or be shown up

as anti-monarchists.

Argus, please stop perpetuating this ridiculous idea.

It is now dead because it lost the vote!
