Read our privacy policy Buckingham Palace has strenuously denied Prince Harry was at risk of losing his dukedom during talks over his future in the royal family. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were granted the historic titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex when they married in 2018. However, the palace has now been forced to deny reports that the Queen considered stripping the pair of the titles following their decision to withdraw from the front lines of royal life – with Prince Harry reportedly flying out to Canada on Monday evening where the couple plan to raise their son Archie away from the public eye. According to reports, the couple would have been expected to continue into the future under one of Harry’s more junior titles – potentially as the earl and countess of Dumbarton – but there the Queen and Prince Charles feared such a move could be considered petty.
