Prince Harry and wife Meghan Markle could face the wrath of King Charles new regime, as his "strong-arm" techniques could lose them their official titles.
King Charles has shown that he will be taking a tougher stance on non-working royals, as Prince Andrew reportedly faces 'homelessness', due to his £249,000 grant being cut from April.
This means that the disgraced royal could be forced to leave his Royal Lodge, as he would struggle to afford the upkeep, reports the Express. As reported by the Daily Mail, all Royal Family members have been told to "tighten their belts and to expect less money from the Duchy [of Lancaster] – now owned by Charles – than in the past.

"Aware of public opinion, the King is said to be keen to reduce expenditure and ‘slim down’ the monarchy. Although the Duchy funds are private, he has ordered a major review of how it is spent."
Due to this tight stance, Prince Harry and Meghan could be facing serious consequences, as a royal commentator has said Charles could use this to "strong-arm" them into no longer using their titles.
Writing in the New Zealand Herald, Daniela Esler said that this could have "serious implications for their money-making ability in the years to come".
An act of Parliament would be needed for either Andrew or Harry to lose their titles officially.
Daniela wrote: "Now, we are facing the possibility that Charles is about to go after his brother’s royal perks and really relegate him to second-string status.
"And if His Majesty is willing to come down hard on him, then that leaves Harry and Meghan without their 'what about Andrew' safety net."
The royal expert added that if Harry and Meghan continue to use their titles to profit, while criticising the Firm, the King may feel "forced" to make a move.
She said: "With Charles reportedly poised to trim Andrew’s sails and crack down on his royal perks, this could represent quite the ill wind for Harry and Meghan right at a point in time when their US careers would seem to be at something of a crossroads."
