Once inseparable, Princes William and Harry have gone from sharing confidences to being at the center of one of the most talked-about family rifts. What began as a crack after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's departure from the institution has turned into a chasm.
A conflict that, far from calming over time, worsens with each new episode. Thus, it could lead to drastic decisions with definitive consequences for the relationship between both brothers when William finally ascends to the throne.
Prince William Could Deliver the Final Blow to His Brother Harry
Far from building bridges, Harry and Meghan Markle's latest actions have fueled William's discontent. According to the Daily Beast, Prince William is reportedly determined to make a decision: strip his brother and sister-in-law of the His Royal Highness titles.
This possibility, which had already been considered in the past, gains strength after the official launch of Meghan's new personal brand, As Ever. The straw that broke the camel's back would have been Meghan's use of the royal treatment in a recent promotional mailing.
In a card attached to a basket of products signed by "Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Sussex," the prince would have seen a clear transgression of the agreement that both dukes sealed. Thus, they committed not to use their royal status for commercial activities.
Is Meghan Markle to Blame?
While Charles III keeps a more conciliatory stance, his eldest son seems to have a stricter view of what it means to represent the crown. The fraternal tension, far from dissipating, is heading toward a definitive confrontation.
An event that could be sealed with a gesture as symbolic as it is forceful: the official loss of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's titles. A decision that would mark a turning point in the relationship between Lady Di's sons.
The story of Princes William and Harry, marked by a shared childhood and a public rift, seems to be moving toward a point of no return. If the removal of the titles is confirmed, it would send a clear message about the limits the institution is willing to tolerate.
