Despite stepping away from their royal duties a few years back, the couple has managed to hold onto their prestigious titles. However, proposed legislation in the UK is now looking to remove these titles, officially reducing them to common folk.
From Daily Mail UK:
Parliament could consider the 'nuclear option' of stripping Harry and Meghan of their royal titles under bombshell legislation to be proposed this week.
Conservative MP Bob Seely is putting forward a Bill that could deny the couple their Duke and Duchess standing as the Royal Family becomes increasingly engulfed in the 'racism' row fuelled by the pair's unofficial 'mouthpiece'.
The Isle of Wight MP wants to adapt laws originally passed in the First World War to deny enemy German nobles their British titles. His Bill would force the Commons to consider turning Harry and Meghan into plain Mr and Mrs Sussex at a time when the couple are under mounting pressure to break their silence over incendiary claims made by author Omid Scobie.
I'm curious if this will significantly affect Meghan and Harry's Hollywood ventures now that they're no longer part of the royal scene.
Frankly, a mere title wouldn't be enough to salvage the situation they've found themselves in.
