In the uproarious aftermath of Omid Scobie’s jaw-dropping blockbuster, “Endgame,” people are practically shouting from the rooftops to snatch away Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s royal titles. But hold your corgis—those titles aren’t going anywhere, not without a royal rumpus.
Our comedic correspondent, Richard Palmer, the aficionado of all things regal, insists that short of King Charles moonwalking into Parliament with a decree, and the UK government hosting a tea party for a brand-new legislation, Archie and Lilibet’s parental units are title-bound for life.
Palmer, taking a break from decoding royal hieroglyphics on X (formerly known as Twitter), dropped a digital bomb, tweeting, “Even if the Queen’s corgis learn to type or a rogue MP tap-dances in Parliament demanding it, Harry and Meghan’s titles are as safe as a squirrel in a nut factory—unless King and government tag team with fresh laws.”
And guess what? Charles III and Rishi Sunak aren’t exactly leading the charge for a title-stripping extravaganza. In fact, they seem about as interested as a royal corgi in a game of chess.
This royal hullabaloo comes on the heels of Conservative MP Bob Seely threatening to whip up a law quicker than you can say “God save the Queen” to relieve Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of their titles. He’s calling it the “nuclear option.” But let’s face it, it’s more like trying to light a sparkler at a fireworks show—attention-grabbing, but not likely to steal the spotlight from the main event.
So, grab your tiaras and buckle up, because it looks like the royal titles are sticking around, and the only nuclear explosions on the horizon involve the Queen’s corgis getting their paws on the TV remote.
No matter how many times it’s written or a backbench MP calls for it, Harry and Meghan are never going to be stripped of their titles without the King and the UK government supporting new legislation allowing it. For the moment, neither Charles III nor Rishi Sunak support it.
