Gary Goldsmith says Harry and Meghan should lose royal titles

King Charles will reportedly never strip Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of their royal titles despite the hurt they've caused to the Firm, a royal insider has claimed.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex quit their royal duties in 2020 and the late Queen Elizabeth removed their HRH titles.

But the couple were faced with calls to be further stripped of their honorary titles, too, after they unleashed a series of attacks against the Firm.

However, an insider, who is reported to know the King well, told the Mail that the monarch is not a "punitive" man and would "never want to humiliate" his son and daughter-in-law.

They added that Buckingham Palace was considering "all options on the table" but downgrading them as Duke and Duchess of Sussex is something that "would not be considered".

Meghan Markle pays poignant tribute to Princess Diana with key move at Invictus Games

The Duchess of Sussex, who is now back in California, wore a plethora of new outfits as she joined her husband, Prince Harry, to the seventh edition of the Games, but there was one particular one which bore a striking resemblance to one Diana favoured many years ago.

On Sunday, Harry and Meghan attended various matches, including a wheelchair basketball match between the USA and Nigeria.

For the occasion, the duchess kept warm by wearing a navy blue knitted jumper from La Ligne (£262), Veronica Beard flared jeans in Indigo (£211), and black Stuart Weitzman boots (£455).

But it was her stunning jacket which was a sweet nod to the late Princess of Wales.

Prince Harry's bizarre comment about Prince Archie leaves royal fans baffled

At the Invictus Games, Prince Harry shared his eldest son's curiosity about landmines, which has sparked a baffled response from royal fans.

During a candid conversation, the father-of-two spoke about a "very interesting conversation" between himself and his five-year-old son, Prince Archie, who has remained at their home in California during the Invictus Games. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are currently in Vancouver for the first-ever edition of the Winter Invictus Games.

Harry explained: "Archie was asking about landmines, so I was talking about how some of these guys [Invictus Games participants] were blown up.

"I think IEDs [improvised explosive devices] are probably a bit too much at this point, but I found myself talking to him about mines when he was 5 years old."
