UK MP Proposes Bill to Strip Harry and Meghan of Royal Titles Amid Racism Row

The proposed legislation follows allegations made in the book 'Endgame', which named King Charles III and Princess Kate as the two royals who had raised concerns about the skin color of Harry and Meghan's son, Archie.

Overview

  • Conservative MP Bob Seely has proposed a bill to strip Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, of their royal titles, referring to it as the 'nuclear option'.
  • The proposed legislation comes amid a royal racism row sparked by allegations made in the Dutch translation of the book 'Endgame' by Omid Scobie.
  • The book allegedly named King Charles III and Princess Kate as the two royals who had raised concerns about the skin color of Harry and Meghan's then-unborn son, Archie.
  • Seely's proposed legislation, the Titles Deprivation 1917 Act Amendment Bill, would adapt a law originally passed during World War I to strip enemy German nobles of their British titles.
  • Harry and Meghan have not publicly addressed the allegations made in 'Endgame', and Scobie has blamed translation errors for the inadvertent outing of the two names.
