Tory MP plans legislation to strip Harry and Meghan of royal titles

Bob Seely says he was considering proposing private member's bill even before recent controversy over Netflix documentary

A Conservative MP has said he is planning to bring forward legislation in an attempt to strip the Duke and Duchess of Sussex of their royal titles. Bob Seely told the PA news agency he could propose the short private member's bill early next year in an attempt to amend the 1917 Titles Deprivation Act.

If passed, it would see MPs vote on a resolution that could give the privy council the power to downgrade Harry and Meghan's royal status.
