Outrage and Calls for Action:
Harry’s accusations sparked outrage, particularly among the public, who began to call for King Charles to strip Harry and Meghan of their royal titles.

A poll conducted by Mail on Sunday revealed that the British public largely sided with King Charles, with many supporting the idea of removing Harry and Meghan’s royal titles. Prominent figures, including journalist Piers Morgan, voiced their opinions on the matter. Morgan wrote on X, “The King must strip Harry and Meghan of their titles asap. They are never going to stop attacking him, the Monarchy, and the Royal Family—all while simultaneously enriching themselves from their royal status. It’s despicable.”
