Prince Philip is reportedly mad at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry due to their decision to step down as senior members of the royal family. Amid the news that they can lose their titles because of their choice to leave their royal duties, there are claims that Prince Philip has something to do about it.
The Duke of Edinburgh's retirement allegedly is the crucial factor behind the latest royal crisis. He was not part of the recent royal summit, although he only lives in the Sandringham. He is said to be now bed-ridden and in ill-health after his hospitalization before Christmas.
A source told The Sun that he could only spend about 10 minutes to be in the company of anyone before he would feel exhausted. However, it didn't stop him from venting his feelings in the best way he could. He is fully aware of what is happening in the monarchy. Sadly, the events mystified him.
After he retired from his royal duties in 2017, royal watchers believed that his retirement ignited the turmoil happening in the royal family. On the podcast Pod Save the Queen in December, Daily Mirror royal editor Russell Myers said, via Express, that there has been a lack of discipline in the palace since he was gone.
Prince Philip is a reasonably divisive character for some people; although it is quite overwhelming for some, everyone has known this attitude in the household. His retirement reportedly resulted in losing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's way a little bit.
If Prince Philip is still on his seat, this may never happen, from Prince Andrew's scandalous friendship with the criminal sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's royal exit. The Sussexes may lose their royal titles because of what happened. However, nothing is confirmed yet as of this writing.
Queen Elizabeth II remains mum about the issue if they can still retain their titles despite their resignation. However, if the Duke and Duchess Sussex have to leave their statuses behind, they can adopt the surname of Prince Philip, Mountbatten-Windsor, like their baby Archie.
The use of Prince Philip's surname will be a big nod for His Royal Highness. There are reports that Queen Elizabeth already gave the green light to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's desire to step down as senior royals after the crisis talks at Sandringham. However, she reportedly gives them a few days to make their final decision about their future, which includes their statuses.
