After a year-long review from the British Royal Family, Buckingham Palace reported that Prince Harry, and wife Meghan Markle, will be stripped from their remaining royal roles due to a rumoured interview with Oprah Winfrey in a 90-minute prime-time special scheduled to air on
CBS on March 7.

Contrary to the popular view that being royalty isn’t all that—it is.

It simply means there are roles and responsibilities that should be adhered to, that has been long-standing for over 1,000 years.

It also means, keeping the mystery and fantasy of royalty intact, despite family dramas.

So, when a person (i.e. Markle), infiltrates such a royal bubble and causes chaos and disruptions, one would think the Queen has no other choice but to strip the couple of their roles to ensure the safety of the remaining royal family.

The stripping of title actually was of no surprise.

Finally, the tumultuous series for the house of Windsor has come to an end, after their decision to quit the royal tradition, last year.

The couple will lose several honours.

They will lose their role as patrons of a variety of national military, sporting and cultural organisations.

Prince Harry will lose several honourary military titles, including Captain-General of the Royal Marines and Commodore-in-Chief, Small Ships and Diving in the Royal Navy.

“The honourary military appointments and royal patronages held by the Duke and Duchess will therefore be returned to Her Majesty,” reported by NBC News.

The statement continued by adding that the roles will be redistributed to other members of the family

This one hits home.

In a 2020 Town & Country report, a friend of the couple stated “That’s been a tough pill to swallow, and one that has been most painful to Meghan to witness him go through, it’s the one that made Harry emotional.”

As a wife, how does one put the person they love the most through such drama?

How do you infiltrate a family and then take the prince away from his responsibilities?

It wasn’t the queen who stripped Prince Harry, it was his wife.

“While all are saddened by their decision, The Duke and Duchess remain much-loved members of the family,” Buckingham Palace continued in its statemment.

A spokesman for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said they remained committed to their duty and service to the UK.

“We can all live a life of service,” he said. “Service is universal.”

Okay fine, service is universal, but the heart resides with the family.

Since their departure, the couple tried to start over in the United States and is now expecting their second child. However, their kids will never truly understand their family tradition if this segregation continues.

Their new lives include a deal to produce content for American digital entertainment platform Netflix, Spotify and an interview by Oprah Winfrey.

Hmm, airing dirty laundry on live TV Prince Harry?

Or maybe the couple will talk more about why royalty wasn’t attractive to them, also shedding light on future plans.

Whatever their reasons are, I believe the Queen simply wants to protect what is left of the monarchy, especially since she prefers not to speak publicly about personal or familial
affairs.

So, by all means, strip away.

RIP Prince Harry.
