Prince William and Prince Harry's relationship has never been so bad as it is now - and it leaves you wondering just how much further it can sour.
According to insiders, William, 42, has completely cut off contact with Harry and after what he sees as repeated public attacks on the . From the Oprah interview to the explosive docuseries and the tell-all book Spare, Harry hasn't exactly been holding back. In fact, he told the himself that "some members of my family will never forgive me" for what he wrote.
But how deep does the rift really lie? Is it bad enough for the day when William becomes King that he would strip Harry and Meghan of their titles? The couple are still known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex even though they stepped back as senior working royals in 2020 and relocated to sunny California.

And while they’ve carved out a glamorous new life in Montecito, the rift with the royals has only deepened. One source told HELLO! "there is zero trust." Apparently, the family believes "private conversations with Harry are not possible." That’s not exactly the foundation for a warm and fuzzy future now is it?

So where does that leave his royal status? While stripping titles isn’t as simple as pressing a big red button marked “revoke,” it is possible. As King, William could technically push for a change - although it would likely involve government input and a lot of political wrangling. Still, given how personal the feud seems, you have to wonder: would he do it out of principle?
It’s almost hard to believe how far Harry and William have drifted apart, considering how close they once were. For years, the brothers were each other’s rocks — famously bonded by the tragedy of losing their mother, in 1997, when they were just 15 and 12.
They went through thick and thin together: royal engagements, military service, and of course, the pressures of growing up in the public eye. But things change.
For now, we can only speculate. But with Harry still battling over security in the UK and the family reportedly unwilling to budge, the gap only seems to be widening. And if that’s the case … well, let’s just say the Sussex titles might not be so safe under King William’s reign.
