Now that the former Prince Andrew has been stripped of all of his titles following his links to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, it sounds like another member of the royal family may end up on the chopping block himself. According to royal sources, now that the way has been paved for Prince Harry to lose his titles, it seems like he might be next — especially if his big brother has anything to say about it.
A new bill introduced by a British politician could change the monarchy.
As Page Six reported, British politician Rachael Maskell has introduced a proposal for a new bill called “Removal of Titles Bill.” If the bill became law, it would give King Charles (and all future monarchs) the power to remove hereditary titles, meaning that being born into the royal family wouldn’t be enough to earn and keep a title going forward.
A royal insider wouldn’t be surprised if William took advantage of the bill if it passes.
Talking to the outlet, one palace insider said if this bill passes, Harry could be “the next one to go.”
“I would not be surprised if William does that,” the source said. “He’s not a vindictive person, but he feels very let down and it’s always much more difficult when you are let down by somebody close to you.”
“Harry must be quite scared,” another insider added.
Experts have mixed opinions on what the future holds for Harry and his titles.
In October, royal expert Christopher Andersen shared a completely different opinion while speaking with Us Weekly.
“I can’t quite wrap my head around the idea of William taking such action against his own brother, no matter how upset he is with Harry,” he said at the time.
Buckingham Palace announced Andrew would be stripped of his titles on October 30.
Last week, Buckingham Palace issued a statement confirming that Andrew would be formally stripped of his titles and that he has been evicted from Royal Lodge, where he and ex-wife Sarah Ferguson have been living.
“His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence,” said the palace. “Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation. These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him.”
Going forward, Andrew will simply be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.
