On 10 July 2026, after King Charles III and Queen Camilla hosted Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet at Highgrove House in Gloucestershire, royal commentator Sarah Hewson said William could one day choose to strip the Sussexes of their titles when he becomes king.
The news came after a tightly guarded family reunion that, for a few hours at least, suggested some sort of thaw was still possible. Buckingham Palace confirmed the private meeting and said no photographs or further details would be released because it was a family occasion, while reports said the Prince and Princess of Wales were not present.
