Prince Harry Duke of Sussex title 'discussed at the highest level'

Royal writer Robert Jobson’s book, 'The Prince Charles: The Man Who Will Be King', claims that some officials even suggested Harry be demoted to Mr Mountbatten-Windsor of Montecito, California. 

The book also claims that senior aides within the Royal Family have been joking about Harry being a “hostage” of his wife Meghan, with some palace insiders blaming her for the fallout with the Royal Family. 

However, others think that Harry himself is the “driving force in everything that happened”. 

King Charles III reportedly has an “enduring love for his son” and is not in favour of axing Harry’s royal title, but the relationship between him and the Sussexes is becoming further from repair with each interview Harry participates in. 

However, the royal family was shocked by Harry’s behaviour when he insisted that Meghan joined him in Scotland after he was disallowed from visiting after the Queen died. 

The book also outlines the struggles of Charles’s reign and his relationship with Harry and Meghan, with sources claiming that Charles wishes he could see more of his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet. 

Each interview Harry participates in, the book claims, makes the rift between him and the family less likely to be healed and the stripping of Harry’s title would be indicative of the growing tension between him and the monarchy. 

However, sources indicate that King Charles is not in support of the decision, reflecting the "enduring love" that he has for his son. 

This comes amid claims that Harry was not invited to the Coronation of King Charles III at Westminster Abbey "in the way he wanted". 

According to a friend, instead of getting it directly from his father, Harry was reportedly sent an email from the royal office. 

Despite his wish for a more personal invitation, a friend of Harry's has said he wanted to attend the Coronation as a show of support for his father, "not an institution".
