Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Drop ALL Royal Titles In New Letter!

Is this the first sign of an all new, totes casual direction Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are taking??

We knew they were stepping away from their royal duties, but based on how they address themselves in a new letter, it seems like they no longer want to be considered a Prince or a Duchess either!

In a letter dated on June 19 addressed to Jane Ashworth, CEO of the UK-based charity StreetGames, the former senior members of the royal family wrote:

“The impact of Covid-19 has been a scary and testing time for so many people from all walks of life, all over the world. However, it is in difficult times like these that goodwill to others and community spirit prevails. We have been touched to witness from afar the coming together of the organizations we champion and so deeply care about. The compassion and leadership of young people across the StreetGames network is vital, and it is their kindness and selflessness that inspires others to do better.”

They concluded:

“This letter comes with our sincere thanks and best wishes to everyone at StreetGames.”

And here’s the real kicker, it was simply signed:

“Harry & Meghan”

Not “Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex” — just Harry and Meghan. Keep in mind, this was an official letter to a charity they were supporting, not a barbecue invitation.

Ch-ch-check out the letter for yourself (below):

This is VERY inneresting! We’ve heard from Harry on a few occasions that he wants to be addressed as Harry, but this is the first we’re hearing it from Meg. In the few times we’ve seen and/or heard from her since Megxit, the former Suits star has been called the Duchess of Sussex.

As you’ll recall, it was agreed the pair would each lose their HRH prefix post-Megxit when they left their duties. However, after negotiations with the Queen, it was determined that the couple would be allowed to hold onto their duchy titles. And of course Harry is still technically a prince by blood. But maybe not by choice anymore?

So do they no longer wish to be thought of as the Duke and Duchess? Just your new next-door neighbors (if you live in LA), Harry and Meghan??

Any thoughts on this, Perezcious readers?? Let us know (below) in the comments!!
