It is time to strip the Sussexes of their titles

-

SIR – Surely the time has come to demote the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and remove their titles (“How will the Royal family react to Harry and Meghan’s latest tell-all TV show ‘attacks’?”, report, December 7). They hold these courtesy of the British Royal family, which they clearly despise. Ergo the trappings that go with that associatio­n should be removed.

It would be a huge relief to many to have some means of demonstrat­ing our disgust with how they are portraying our monarchy and by associatio­n our country. Enough is enough.

SIR – The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have given a new perspectiv­e to the term “self service”.

The irony of being able to trade solely upon the Duke’s royal heritage, while denouncing the very institutio­n on which they rely, seems to be lost on them, but not to the rest of us.

SIR – I do not intend to watch the Harry and Meghan Netflix series. Nothing in the recently released trailers (“Prince Harry accuses Palace of playing ‘dirty game’ in second Netflix trailer”, report, December 7) attracts me to it.

I have, however, found something to say to Meghan’s credit: she is a much better actress than I realised.

SIR – Surely there is no couple more admired and beloved than the Prince and Princess of Wales, nor one more disliked than Mr and Mrs Harry Markle. Ged W Calveley

SIR – If Prince Harry had been first in line for the throne, would he be making such a fuss about the treatment he and Meghan are supposed to have received from the Royal family and the press?

SIR – Presumably, in time, staff leaving the household(s) of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will tell their truths, gag or no gag.
