So, who&#8217;s losing their title? It could well be Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, Prince Harry, Prince Archie, and Princess Lilibet.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone&#8217;s clicking on&#8230;<img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"royal family\" title=\"Royal family\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1517305968-gettyimages-898513992.jpg\" class=\"css-0 e1g79fud0\"\/><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-theme-key=\"base-link\" href=\"https:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https:\/\/www.cosmopolitan.com\/uk\/reports\/a69104154\/prince-william-strip-harry-beatrice-eugenie-royal-titles\/&amp;description=- CosmopolitanUK&amp;media=https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/elleuk.cdnds.net\/18\/05\/1517305968-gettyimages-898513992.jpg?resize=1600:*\" class=\"pinterest css-on9hn5 e1c1bym14\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-dynamic-svg=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cosmopolitan.com\/_assets\/design-tokens\/fre\/static\/icons\/social\/pinterest.e8cf655.svg?primary=%2523ffffff\" loading=\"lazy\" data-testid=\"dynamic-svg-base\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\" alt=\"pinterest\" class=\"css-4lml0h e1mlxuuw1\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Getty Images<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"14\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">A source said that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cosmopolitan.com\/uk\/reports\/a65931238\/why-prince-harry-isnt-in-meghan-markle-netflix-series\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.cosmopolitan.com\/uk\/reports\/a65931238\/why-prince-harry-isnt-in-meghan-markle-netflix-series\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Meghan and Harry\" data-node-id=\"14.1\" class=\"body-link css-103hk4r emevuu60\" rel=\"noopener\">Meghan and Harry<\/a> will also see their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles removed.

On Friday, it\u2019s suddenly the other way round, and persuading him to drop the Duke title, without even taking it away, is being held up as a triumph of the king\u2019s steely will. His operation is a mess.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"18\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Another friend of William&#8217;s says, &#8220;It should have been done by Charles this week, but William knows he doesn\u2019t have the strength because of his illness. William is understanding of his father\u2019s situation. William won\u2019t be afraid to take the next step.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Related Stories<img src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/281ca4da-3e06-4994-8c0d-6abe79956de7_1539814210.file\" alt=\"Headshot of Mehera  Bonner\" title=\"Headshot of Mehera  Bonner\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"css-o0wq4v ev8dhu53\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Mehera Bonner is a celebrity and entertainment news writer who enjoys Bravo and Antiques Roadshow with equal enthusiasm, She was previously entertainment editor at Marie Claire and has covered pop culture for over a decade.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince William allegedly plans to strip his own family of royal titles when he becomes King William V&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":516653,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[1380,168538,1331,1330,5105,7710,519,448,168537],"class_list":{"0":"post-516652","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-content-type-news","9":"tag-contentid-8ab8bc2f-4cf3-45d6-b41a-cbff3a8f6c61","10":"tag-displaytype-standard-article","11":"tag-locale-gb","12":"tag-royal","13":"tag-royal-families","14":"tag-royal-family","15":"tag-royals","16":"tag-shorttitle-prince-william-set-to-strip-others-of-royal-titles"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115411484216671876","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/516652","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=516652"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/516652\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/516653"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=516652"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=516652"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=516652"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
