Meghan Markle And Prince Harry Have Lost Their Royal Titles

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will reportedly no longer get to use their HRH (or His/Her Royal Highness) titles and will not receive public funds for their royal duties.

Buckingham Palace has announced that the couple will no longer formally represent The Queen and will come into effect in the spring.
