Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may face an unexpected announcment from Buckhingham Palace amid ongoing reforms.
The British royal family is set to undergo a significant overhaul, with plans to strip other family members of their princely titles.
The Prince of Wales, heir to the British throne as the eldest son of King Charles, is allegedly preparing to shake up the monarchy with bold decision during his future reign.
This move is said to be part of a broader effort to modernize the monarchy and distance itself from controversy. The changes would also affect Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, Archie, and Lilibet, as well as Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.
The change will reportedly be effected by an executive royal order known as ‘letters patent’ ratified by Parliament in the early weeks of the reign of King William V.
Harry and Meghan remain the Duke and Duchess of Sussex despite giving up royal duties five years ago and publicly slamming the senioy royals and the Firm.
Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 4, live in a lavish Montecito mansion with their parents and presently have little connection to the royal family or the United Kingdom.
The latest commentscome after Prince Andrew's announcement to give up his titles amid ongoing controversy regarding his and Sarah Ferguson's connection to the convicted Pedophile Jeffery Epstien.
The insider, as reported by theDaily Beast, added: “It will remove princely titles not just from Andrew but also from Beatrice, Eugenie, Harry, Archie, and Lilibet.”
The British royal family's line of succession determines who will be the next king or queen. Here's the current order to date (October 10, 2025).
First in Line
-- Prince William, Prince of Wales (King Charles III's eldest son)
Next in Line
-- Prince George of Wales (Prince William's eldest son)
-- Princess Charlotte of Wales (Prince William's daughter)
-- Prince Louis of Wales (Prince William's youngest son)
Further Down the Line

The line of succession is determined by descent, sex, legitimacy, and religion, with the monarch required to be in communion with the Church of England.
The Succession to the Crown Act 2013 removed the disqualification of individuals who marry Roman Catholics and ensured that males and females are treated equally in the line of succession.
