Prince Harry and Meghan lost their ability to use their HRH titles in 2020 when the couple decided to take a step back from royal duties.
Harry remained a Prince, and the couple kept their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles, but are no longer addressed as His/Her Royal Highness (HRH).
He also gave up his military titles and no longer wears army uniform in public. However, it now seems that King Charles is paying a high price for the removal of the California-based couple's titles.
Since stepping back as senior royals, it appears the removal of their HRH titles has further fuelled their desire to speak out.
As the Sunday Times’ royal editor Roya Nikkhah said: “If the past three years have shown anything since the Sussexes stepped down from royal duties, it is that banning them from using their HRH titles has only emboldened them to take on all the battles that royal life once prevented them from entering”.
Throughout the past few months, Prince Harry has been on a 'truth-telling' spree, reports news.com.
Since 2020, the prince has attempted to hold both 'The Firm' and the press to account for a variety of issues - ranging from bullying claims to undermining his bombshell memoir 'Spare'.
Prince Harry released a neverending wave of allegations and revelations about the royal family when he debuted his tell-all book in January.
The allegations rocked the world, with many shocked at the claims which included a bitter feud between Prince William and Harry.
In the memoir, Harry wrote: “(William) called me another name, then came at me. It all happened so fast. So very fast. He grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor.
“I landed on the dog’s bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me. I lay there for a moment, dazed, then got to my feet and told him to get out.”
Prince Harry has also spoken of the “red mist” that came over his brother during this altercation.
Harry told ITV’s Tom Bradby: “What was different here was the level of frustration, and I talk about the red mist that I had for so many years, and I saw this red mist in him.”
The Duke claimed William urged him to hit back, citing fights they had as children, but Harry refused and his brother left before returning, looking regretful and apologising.
Furthering the spat between the brothers, he also revealed that an alleged altercation took place at Harry’s then home in Nottingham Cottage, on the grounds of Kensington Palace, when William is said to have called Meghan “difficult”, “rude” and “abrasive”.
Harry told him he was parroting the press narrative about his wife.
The duke claimed William told him he did not need to tell Meghan about the confrontation.
Harry wrote that he told his therapist first and his wife later after she noticed the scrapes and bruises on his back. “She was terribly sad,” he said.
Later in the memoir, the Duke also claimed King Charles pleaded with his sons to stop fighting at Windsor after the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral.
In a tense meeting, a grieving Charles told his sons: “Please, boys. Don’t make my final years a misery,” Harry claims.
The 38-year-old further slammed his brother - whom he previously had a close relationship with - alleging that in 2005 William and Kate Middleton urged him to wear a Nazi uniform complete with a swastika armband to a fancy dress party.
There was also the shocking confession that Prince Harry - who earned himself a reputation as a party prince in his younger years - has taken cocaine.
He wrote that “at someone’s house, during a hunting weekend, I was offered a line, and since then I had consumed some more.
“It wasn’t very fun, and it didn’t make me feel especially happy as seemed to happen to others, but it did make me feel different, and that was my main objective. To feel. To be different.”
He also said he smoked weed and took magic mushrooms.
The bombshell revelations came following the couple's Netflix documentary titled 'Harry & Meghan' which saw a string of revelations and allegations about Harry's mother Princess Diana, how the couple met, their first dates, 'unconscious bias' in the Royal Family and why the Sussexes 'had to quit' royal duties in March 2020, plunging the House of Windsor into crisis.
