The queen reportedly considered stripping Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of their royal titles, downgrading her to a countess and him to the “Earl of Dumbarton”

A source told the U.K.’s Evening Standard that Queen Elizabeth did indeed consider barring Harry and Meghan from using their “Duke and Duchess of Sussex” monikers. Not just that, but Harry’s grandmother was also considering downgrading the couple to the titles of Earl and Countess of something called “Dumbarton,” one of Harry’s subsidiary titles given to him by the queen on the occasion of his wedding.
But the queen ultimately did what many of us are simply too weak to do: She allegedly decided such a move would be seen as “too petty,” and restrained herself. She apparently reasoned that barring Harry and Meghan from using “HRH” in public would suffice. So instead of having to go by the Earl of Dunkin Donuts and the Countess of Dumbledore, they can keep their “Sussex” styling. But just knowing that the queen may have thought about this is fun.
