The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Harry and Meghan, have hit a major roadblock in their royal journey as prominent members of the British royal family.
The UK Parliament recently made a significant decision to strip them of their royal titles following the launch of their official website, Sussex.edu.
This website not only features information about Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, but also serves as a platform for their non-profit organization, the Archewell Foundation, and their production company, Archewell Productions.
The unveiling of Sussex.edu has sparked a wave of outrage and criticism from various royalists and commentators who accuse the Sussexes of exploiting their royal status and disregarding their responsibilities to the royal family after stepping back in 2020.
The UK Parliament engaged in a spirited debate on Tuesday to amend the 1917 Titles Deprivation Act in response to the existence of the website.
This Act grants the Privy Council the power to withdraw titles or honors from individuals for acts of treason, felony, or misconduct.
Conservative MP Bob led the charge during the debate, alleging that the Sussexes had violated the Act by using their titles and the Royal Code of Arms for commercial purposes, thus undermining the monarchy's dignity and integrity.
The motion put forth declared that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had forfeited their entitlement to use their titles in conjunction with the Royal Code of Arms due to their actions, which were deemed incompatible with the monarchy's values and traditions.
The motion garnered overwhelming support from 312 members of Parliament, with only 213 MPs opposing it, resulting in a majority of 99 votes in favor.
The Government also backed the motion, emphasizing that the Sussexes had shown a lack of respect and gratitude towards the Queen and the nation.
They pointed out that the establishment of Sussex.edu represented a breach of trust and protocol.
The Privy Council, which holds the final say in removing the Sussexes' titles, is set to convene next week to deliberate on the issue and announce its decision shortly thereafter.
Despite the Parliament's decision, Harry and Meghan have yet to respond officially.
However, sources close to them have conveyed their shock, hurt, and anger at the Parliament's ruling, viewing it as a personal attack for their commitment to living authentically.
Sources indicate that the Sussexes have no plans to surrender their website or titles and remain steadfast in advocating for their rights and personal freedom.
Harry and Meghan are reportedly devastated by the decision, perceiving it as a direct retaliation for daring to speak their truth and carve their own path.
They are determined to defend their brand and platform, refusing to bow down to Parliament's demands.
In the face of potential legal action, Harry and Meghan draw strength from the unwavering support of millions worldwide who stand by them in their journey.
The couple stands firm in their pride for their website and titles, ready to confront any challenges that come their way.
