On Thursday, millions of people were stunned by the news that Prince Andrew had been stripped of his lands and titles by order of his brother, King Charles.
The decision was a result of the ongoing controversy surrounding Andrew’s friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and his alleged sexual misconduct.
After years of hesitancy from the royals, it initially appeared that Andrew would suffer no consequences.
Now, many are speculating that Charles will continue to clean house by removing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s titles.
Will this be the end of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s royal lineage?
In fact, daily mail Columnist Maureen Callahan claims that with Andrew out of the way, Harry and Meghan’s days “are surely numbered.”
“Now it’s a question of when. Not if. The sun begins to set over Montecito, permanently,” writes one passionate journalist, adding:
“If the late Queen’s favorite son can be coldly ousted and stripped of his birthright, if William could have convinced the infamous and conflict-averse Charles to give up his own brother, well, Harry’s days as Prince and Duke of Sussex are surely numbered.
“As for Meghan? Like Fergie, she would be just collateral damage. An afterthought.”
It’s strange that the article is written with such a tone of moral righteousness, considering that the author is essentially saying that child sex trafficking is as bad as moving to another country.
Yes, for years now, the British tabloids have been comparing Andrew to Harry and Meghan, even though he (supposedly) committed real, heinous crimes and they just moved to California.
Callahan seems genuinely giddy at the thought of Harry and Meghan losing their royal titles and privileges.
So we have to take her with a grain of salt when she claims that a source assured her that this time it will really happen.
Royal source says Andrew is just the beginning of a ‘bigger unraveling’
The source tells Callahan that the royals have begun the process of “eliminating the edges.” [of the family]” and that “a greater collapse is coming.”
“That biggest breakdown is, in my opinion, Harry and Meghan’s royal titles, status and honors,” Callahan helpfully explains.
“William’s role – trying to forge something sustainable – is now a clear relief. And no, Charles is not up to the job,” the source continued.
“Once Andrew stops being a convenient cover, where will people look next?”
Look, it’s certainly possible that Harry and Meghan could lose their titles one day, maybe even one day soon.
That doesn’t make it any less disgusting that Maureen Callahan is comparing her situation to that of an accused sexual predator.
