In 2020, it became known that Prince Harry (38 years old) and Duchess Meghan (41 years old) chose to retire from their royal duties and move to the United States. Since then, the couple has made a number of headlines.
Longing for the royal family
It’s also no secret that there has also been a bad atmosphere between the Duke couple and the royal family, who were accused of racism just two years ago.
The royal family denied these allegations.
Last week at the latest, it became known that the Dutch edition of the book “Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight for Survival” had been withdrawn and suspended. This happened after King Charles (76) and Princess Kate (41) were named as those who should have discussed the skin color of grandson Prince Archie (4) in the Dutch translation.
– Disagreement with the royal family
Now conservative politician Bob Seeley (57 years old) believes it is time for a change. He argues that Harry and Meghan should be stripped of their titles and the privileges that come with them.
Harsh accusations: he refuses to answer
The Isle of Wight Member of Parliament moved a motion for removal Harry and Meghan’s nicknames.
Seeley states the following in The Mail on Sunday:
– I’m not a republican and support the monarchy, but after the latest part of the couple’s feud with the rest of the royal family, I think Parliament and the Privy Council should consider another option.
About the scandal: – More damage
The 57-year-old believes the duke couple would be better referred to as Mr and Mrs Sussex.
My goal is simple: if someone doesn’t want to become royal, that’s a decision we respect. But they may not retain their titles and privileges if they speak negatively about an institution that plays an important role in the life of the nation.
– It is impossible to prove
The Conservative politician is also convinced that Harry and Meghan are behind the claims in Omid Scobie’s (42) book, although sources close to the couple have denied this.
– Of all of Scobie’s claims, the claims of racism to discredit the Royal Family are the most toxic. It would certainly leave a lasting impression of stigma, and it would be difficult to refute the claim if it were false.
Regarding the royal book scandal: – Disappointing
Seeley points out that the late Queen Elizabeth and King Charles did exceptional work over decades to reach out to everyone in the country, including ethnic minorities.
In the wake of the book scandal, Scobie found himself forced to speak out. He had previously confirmed that he did not mention the names of the people involved due to British laws.
“I’ve never submitted a script with their names on it,” the writer said on ITV’s This Morning on Thursday last week, adding that he was disappointed but not sorry.
