PRINCE Harry’s book and Netflix series could see the Duke and Duchess of Sussex losing their HRH titles, according to a leading royal commentator.

Michael Cole told GB News: “Three months into the new reign, we can hardly say it’s been trouble-free. They’ve had to endure ten parts from Netflix, series five of The Crown and now we’re going to get a six-part bombardment from grievance incorporated, the Sussex branch that is in California, a sniping from their hilltop fortress, inside this gated community.

“We don’t know yet whether it’s all going to be all sizzle or no sausage, we’ll have to see what they’re going to say. But Netflix have invested millions in brand Sussex, Meghan and Harry, and there’ll be wanting to have a return on that huge investment. And if people tune in, and it’s just another lot of we’re right and they’re wrong, and I think people might get weary of this.

“In this world, two timezones away from where we’re sitting at the moment, there’s a terrible war going on and people don’t know wether they’re going to live or die tomorrow, and people are being murdered and raped.

“In this country, people are scared to turn on the heating, they’re sitting there in the cold because they don’t think they can pay the gas bill. People are wondering how they’re going to get through this winter and if they have got a job, can they get to work because of the strikes and the eco-anarchists stopping the traffic?

“These are real world problems and to have this going on, quite frankly, if people cannot respect themselves within their own royal family, I think the question will arise why should we respect them? And I think that’s something that ought to be worrying people and I’m quite sure the Queen consort and King Charles are concerned about this because it isn’t a very good look, is it?”

In an interview with Ann Diamond and Stephen Dixon, he said: “Diana only had to get divorced from Prince Charles as he then was, and she immediately lost her HRH honorific title.

“The Duchess of Windsor was never given one, she was pointedly refused one which rankled with the Duke of Windsor all his life. I think a lot will depend upon Prince Harry’s book which is due to be published in January.

“By the way, my wife noticed a couple of days ago that it was on sale or pre ordered at WH Smith at half price already.”

“So, it depends how many skeletons in the royal cupboard are shaken up by this book. But I think it’s entirely possible that the King will say enough is enough and remove the titles HRH from them, which he’s perfectly entitled to do.

“Now, this may seem also trivial but that is big medicine in royal circles where things like this matter very deeply and it would be a sign of disapproval.

“And my goodness, one can’t say that the Royal Family has not been provoked.”

His comments come as a GB News poll revealed how Brits believe Kate and William are a far better bet to fly the flag overseas for the UK than anyone else in the Royal Family.

More than half of the public (56%) see William and Catherine as better adverts for the monarchy abroad.

This compares to 8% who opted for King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla, and 7% who selected Prince Harry and Meghan. The remaining 29% said they “didn’t know” or “preferred not to say”.

The survey of 1,208 adults was carried out by PeoplePolling, a member of the British Polling Council (BPC) and it will come as a welcome boost for William and Kate who have been met by boos during their tour of the US.

Commenting on the findings of the poll, Prof. Matt Goodwin said: “These numbers once again show that, as far as the British are concerned, Harry and Meghan are nowhere near as popular as Will and Kate.

“More than half the country see the Prince and Princess of Wales as the better advert for the monarchy while not even one in ten see Harry and Meghan the same way. King Charles III, who has opted for a slimmed-down monarchy, was clearly right to push forward Will and Kate”.
