Palace sources told Page Six they “would not be surprised” if Prince Harry eventually lost his title just like his uncle Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor — aka the man formerly known as Prince Andrew.
Their warning for Harry, 41, comes as British politician Rachael Maskell has relaunched her proposal for a “Removal of Titles Bill” which would give King Charles and, eventually and crucially, heir-to-the-throne Prince William power to remove hereditary titles.
“If they pass these bills, I would not be surprised if Harry is the next one to go,” one well-placed royal source told Page Six. “I would not be surprised if William does that … he’s not a vindictive person, but he feels very let down and it’s always much more difficult when you are let down by somebody close to you.”
We have reached out to reps for both William and Harry.
The brothers have not spoken in more than two years and sources close to William, 43, have made it clear that he was left furious by Harry’s 2023 memoir, “Spare.”
The book included accusations of the future king physically attacking his younger brother and of Kate Middleton being one of the senior royals who made alleged “racist” remarks about Harry and Meghan Markle’s children, among other claims.
Royal writer Hugo Vickers has said the brothers’ estrangement is so great that William may not even invite Harry to his coronation.
“Harry must be quite scared,” a palace insider added of MP Maskell’s proposed bill.
It was shot down after she first introduced it in 2022 — and has now re-emerged with the Andrew news.
Harry, the son of King Charles and Princess Diana, was born a prince and his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, made him and Markle Duke and Duchess of Sussex on their wedding day in May 2018.
But Harry and Markle agreed not to use their HRH titles for commercial use when they left the royal family in 2020.
In a stunning move, Charles stripped his younger brother Andrew of his prince title last week after palace officials had spent days quietly working on the plan alongside lawyers and government officials.
The process involved the monarch issuing Royal warrants to the Lord Chancellor, David Lammy, to remove Andrew’s titles from the official Peerage Roll.
The former prince, 65, continues to be mired in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal after being accused of sleeping with accuser Virginia Giuffre when she was just 17.
Although Andrew settled out of court with Giuffre in 2022, he has never been charged or convicted of any crime.
Page Six was told the decision was made by the king, but that William fully supports his father’s decision.
