Meghan Markle to be called ‘Princess Henry’ if King Charles revokes her royal title
After years of drama because of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s separation from the Royal family, there have been discussions regarding stripping the couple of their royal titles. Although the two have officially left their duties and dropped ‘His Royal Highness’, they are still known as ‘Duke and Duchess of Sussex’.
Several experts have suggested that these titles should be officially revoked as the two have officially left their duties and responsibilities. Would it mean completely disassociating the two from all Royal family titles if this happens? Know here….
How can the ‘Duke and Duchess of Sussex’ title be removed?
According to a Hindustan Times report, the official removal of the titles ‘Duke and Duchess of Sussex’ would require an act of parliament. Harry and Meghan can also lose their titles after successfully obtaining US citizenship. According to Daily Express, Harry could lose his titles if he successfully obtains US citizenship, which would require him to “renounce all allegiance to any foreign prince, state or sovereign.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged a group of top defence officials at Asia’s premier security conference on Sunday to attend an upcoming peace summit, saying Ukraine was ready to hear “various proposals and thoughts” on ending the war with Russia.
Zelenskyy told the group of more than 500 delegates from about 40 countries that he was “disappointed” some world leaders had not yet confirmed attendance at the conference in Switzerland in about two weeks.
He did not specify any country by name, but the possible participation of China, Russia’s most important ally, has been seen as a key issue.
Chinese Defence Minister Dong Jun spoke earlier in the day at the Shangri-La conference but he did not appear to be in the room when Zelenskyy made his appeal.

Zelenskyy said that Ukraine had proposals to make at the summit as a basis for peace, addressing nuclear security, food security, the release of prisoners of war and the return of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia.
“Time is running out, and the children are growing up in the Putin-land where they are taught to hate their homeland,” he said.
At the same time, Zelenskyy said Ukraine is “ready to hear various proposals and thoughts that lead us … to an end of the war and a sustainable and just peace.”
The greater the participation, the more likely it will be that Russia will have to listen, he said.
“The global majority can ensure with their involvement that what is agreed upon is truly implemented,” he said.
Zelenskyy said he was later to meet one-on-one with Singapore’s prime minister and would urge him to participate in person in the Switzerland talks.
