Over 40,000 people sign petition to strip Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of their royal titles

MORE THAN 40,000 people have signed an online petition to have Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal titles temporarily suspended.

The petition, which was created by royal write Lady Colin Campbell, is looking put their titles into abeyance, a state of temporary suspension, which would thereby free them both of their "constitutional conflicts" their recent actions have created.

It aims to grant both Harry and Meghan the freedom of private citizenship so they may "indulge" in whatever personal beliefs they like.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been at odds with the British royal family - both as an institution and a number of individuals within it - ever since they infamously stepped away from their royal duties in January 2020.

The family was rocked following Harry and Meghan's explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey aired back in March, and ever since then Harry has launched a number of stinging, personal jabs at various relatives of his, most notably his father, Prince Charles.

During a recent appearance on a US mental health podcast, Harry said that he inherited a cycle of 'genetic pain' from his father, and indirectly blamed The Queen as well as the late Prince Philip for the problem.

Speaking to the Daily Star, Lady Campbell said she started the petition, which has garnered just over 43,000 signatures at the time of writing, because it was "the right thing to do".

She said she wanted to find a "dignified" solution to the current situation, and one that would "humiliate no one and protect everyone."
