So, back in 2020, Megxit happened. Harry and Meghan decided to step back from royal duties, citing privacy concerns and a desire for independence. They landed in Los Angeles and signed a hefty deal with Netflix, aiming to produce content that resonates with people and avoids airing their family’s dirty laundry.

Their first swing at it was the Harry and Meghan docuseries, a six-hour marathon of them playing the victims. Then came Harry’s docuseries about the Invictus Games, which felt more like him using wounded veterans’ stories as a backdrop for his own pity party. Meghan’s contributions included a kid’s show and a podcast where she interviewed celebs about female stereotypes.

But despite the hype, their projects didn’t exactly set the world on fire. Netflix and Spotify both passed on renewing their deals, and here’s why: according to royal insider Richard Fitzwilliams, it’s partly because Netflix’s interest waned after “The Crown” ended. Translation? Netflix only liked Harry because he was providing juicy material for their hit show.

As for Meghan’s projects, well, let’s just say they weren’t exactly A-list. Fitzwilliams suggests they need more high-profile endorsements to stay relevant. And then there’s the cash. That $100 million Netflix deal was their golden ticket, but without it, their financial independence plan looks shaky.

The Sussexes’ brand is toxic, even in Hollywood. They trash the monarchy with one hand while cashing in on its prestige with the other. It’s no wonder Netflix said, “thanks, but no thanks.”

The Palace has be warned that a potential move could spark backlash from the public if it’s given the go ahead.

A royal expert has claimed that it’s unlikely that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will be stripped of their titles.

Ingrid Seward, editor in chief of Majesty Magazine, told The Royal Beat that it’s unlikely Meghan, 42, and Prince Harry, 39, will be stripped of their royal titles by King Charles III, even though they quit their royal duties in 2020.

“I don’t think anything will happen to the titles because, if they lose their titles, Harry is still a prince of the blood and Meghan, instead of being the Duchess of Sussex, [would] be Princess Henry,” Seward said, according to The Mirror.

She went on to suggest that were the Palace to strip the pair of the titles it could be seen as “unkind” move by the public.

“That really would [confuse the Americans],” she added. “I think [it’s] probably best just to leave it because it looks unkind, it looks unnecessary.”

Prince Harry was born Prince Henry Charles Albert David, but goes by Harry. If Meghan lost her title as Duchess of Sussex, she would technically be called Princess Henry, since it’s royal tradition that a princess takes an official title with her husband’s name.

The same rule applies for Kate Middleton, who is technically Princess William — but is referred to as the Princess of Wales.

Seward said Harry and Meghan will likely be known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex forever.

“The Queen gave them the titles, let them keep them – they’re going to be ‘H and M’ anyway,” she said.

“I think the best thing is to leave them, ignore them, and let them get on with it – which is really what the Palace and the Royal Family are doing.”

Meghan and Harry stepped down as senior working members of the Royal Family in 2020, and they now live in California with their two children Archie, four, and Lilibet two.

Royal author Tom Quinn recently claimed that Charles, 75, and William, 41, “have had lengthy discussions about stripping” the couple of their royal titles.

However, he doesn’t believe the king and his heir will make the move.

“They are terrified this would backfire and make the situation worse,” Quinn told The Mirror last month. “The last thing they want is to give the renegade royals something else to complain about.”
