Prince William, the Prince of Wales sees no ‘strategic threat’ from his estranged brother Harry and sister-in-law Meghan Markle anymore.
According to royal expert Rob Shuter, sources have informed him “Prince William is highly unlikely to remove the HRH or the Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles when he becomes King.”
The royal expert, writing for his substack, has also disclosed the real reason why Prince William will not strip Meghan and Harry of their titles.
He said, citing a well-placed insider, “Not because he’s soft. Not because he’s sentimental. But because — and this is the real tea — he doesn’t want to look petty.
“By the time William takes the throne, the Sussex brand will be so diminished it won’t even matter. Why take away something that’s already worthless?”
Rob went on saying, “William sees no strategic threat from Harry and Meghan anymore. The power they once had? The global fascination? The shiny-new-royal-rebels energy? Gone.
“Stripping titles would only make William look vindictive. And if there’s one thing he refuses to be as King, it’s the petty older brother settling old scores.”
William wants to present himself as the ‘bigger man’, Rob said and added “a modern monarch focused on building people up, not tearing them down.”
However, the royal expert said but here’s the most brutal part — and more than one source used the same phrase with me:
“Ignoring them will hurt more.”
Rob Shuter said, “King William, I’m told, is prepared to do something far more chilling than punishment: He will simply… not engage. No title stripping. No public feuds. No symbolic smackdowns. Just silence.”
“Because in royal circles? Being erased is often more cutting than being disciplined,” the royal expert claims and adds “It’s not vengeful. It’s not loud. It’s just… final.”
