Isn’t it time we stripped Harry and Meghan of their titles?

Is it time that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex became plain Mr and Mrs Windsor?

They seem so full of anger for the institution that gives them their status, why not do the decent thing and renounce their titles? If not, shouldn’t parliament give them a helping hand?

First, a declaration. I am not interested in attacking Harry or Meghan per se.  Personally, I feel increasing sorry for them. I worry what happens when even Californians get bored of their tales of victimhood. I worry for Harry especially.

Both Harry’s book and the Netflix narcissism of the Duke and Duchess’s recent series tell the story of two privileged people desperate to be victims. They are not. When I served in the army, I met victims: of violence, or rape, of murder, people who have been forced from their homes at gunpoint. These people are victims. Multi-millionaires like Harry and Meghan are not.
