When Prince Harry and Meghan stepped back as working royals, one of the conditions on which they forged their independent lives was that they would retain their HRH titles but not use them. Standing for His or Her Royal Highness, the styling is held by senior royals in lieu of their position within the monarchy.

Part of the buzz is that an angry Prince William could one day strip both Meghan and Prince Harry of their HRH titles, which they retained after their 2020 step back as working royals but don’t use for commercial gain.

Meghan Markle’s use of her former royal styling has reignited a familiar question: can the Sussexes actually be stripped of their titles? Turns out, the answer isn’t so
