In a discreet yet decisive move, the British royal family has undertaken a comprehensive website revamp after a series of "humiliating" errors were brought to public attention, particularly in relation to Prince Harry's title.
This sequence of events was triggered when The Express published an exposé titled "Harry name blunder just one of many humiliating mistakes on official Royal Family website." Among the blunders highlighted were the repeated references to the late Queen Elizabeth as the "monarch," the incorrect designation of King Charles as the Prince of Wales, and the continued usage of the title "His Royal Highness" for Prince Harry. This latter detail raised eyebrows considering that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, according to Buckingham Palace, had relinquished the usage of such titles upon stepping back from their roles as active members of the royal family.
Evidently taking note of the article's meticulous critique, the royal website has undergone swift alterations, particularly on Prince Harry's profile page, which now no longer makes reference to the HRH title.
In the midst of these updates, royal expert Robert Jobson weighed in, affirming that despite conjecture about stripping titles from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, their Duke and Duchess of Sussex designations remain intact. Jobson's insight emerged from a conversation with a well-placed source within the royal fold, during a chance encounter at the prestigious Royal Ascot event.
Jobson recounted the conversation: “Well, what about all this stuff about stripping titles? If you’re going to have a President Meghan, then surely, they’re not going to want to have their royal titles and they will be kicked out of the line succession?’ I asked. And he absolutely categorically said, that’s just not going to happen.”
As the royal family navigates these strategic website revisions and addresses the subtle nuances of titles and designations, the narrative surrounding Prince Harry's connection to the monarchy continues to evolve, prompting renewed curiosity and speculation.
