The Queen has “no choice” but to strip Meghan Markle and husband Prince Harry of their royal titles, a royal expert has suggested.
They said Her Majesty’s actions are “inevitable” and that she will finally say “enough is enough” amid their arrival back in the UK.
It comes after Meghan’s 6,000-word interview with The Cut in which she claims that “just by existing” she and Harry were “upsetting the dynamic of the hierarchy” - all before they officially stepped down as senior working royals.
Meghan also detailed how it takes “a lot of effort” to forgive and revealed she could “say anything” after not signing any Royal Family confidentiality agreements.
Royal expert Duncan Larcombe, speaking to Mark Dolan on GB News on Friday evening, spoke about his thoughts on the matter.
He said: “In many ways, stripping them with the title isn’t blindly going to make any difference.
“In Meghan’s magazine interview, there was a point in where she was referred to a ‘Princess’ and that was not even corrected. The Queen is a head of an organisation. She is the boss.
“She had to sack Prince Andrew although she didn’t take away his title of ‘Prince’ or Duke of York, and she had to intervene historically with Harry and Meghan, wishing them well, but taking away HRH."
He added: “It is now, I think, almost inevitable that the Queen has no more choice but to say ‘enough is enough Harry and Meghan’.
"‘Good luck in your new life but we have to take this away’.”
His comments came before Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were spotted in high spirits as they left Windsor this morning en-route to Manchester for a public appearance later today.
Pictures show the couple beaming at each other and laughing as they left the grounds of Frogmore Cottage on the Windsor estate where they have been staying to head north.
They left in a convoy of Range Rovers and comes amid reports that the couple will be protected by a "ring of steel" while they are in the UK.
They were later spotted at Euston Station in central London, where they are thought to have caught a train to Manchester.
Meghan could be seen in a a pair of tanned brown wide-legged trousers and matching heels with her hair pulled back into a ponytail, while Harry wore navy chinos and a matching jacket.
