Tory MP plans to propose legislation to take away royal titles from Prince Harry and Meghan

Tory MP Bob Seely said he is planning to bring forth legislation to take away the royal titles from Prince Harry and Meghan.

Agencies
Tory MP Bob Seely disclosed to a news agency that he might propose the bill early next year as an attempt to amend the 1917 Titles Deprivation Act. If the bill is passed, the MPs will vote on a resolution that will give the privy council power to demote Prince Harry and Meghan's Royal Status.

The legislation came into consideration in light of recent events. It has become a political issue as the Royal Couple is not only trashing the royal family but also monetizing their misery for public consumption.

Other than that, they have repeatedly attacked some important institutions of their country. Seely is planning to amend the Title Deprivations Act early next year, which stripped titles from royalty who supported Germany in WWI.
