Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan to ditch their royal titles
Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan are making their TV debut soon, and they won’t be using their royal titles when we do see them.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will go by just Harry and Meghan when they make their TV debut to celebrate Time magazine’s annual list of the world’s most influential people.
In a new promo shared by E! News, the pair were introduced by their first names.
Notably, in the credits they were listed as “the Duke and Duchess of Sussex Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.”
This follows as the Sussexes were said to be unhappy with the final conditions of quitting from their royal duties.
The main one includes the Queen banning the couple from using the word “royal” in any of their branding.
The TIME event will be held on September 22 in the US.
It is the first time ever TIME 100 Most Influential People will be broadcast on television, rather than exclusively in its magazine.
Other guests on the show will be Trevor Noah, Sandra Oh, Kumail Nanjiani and John Legend. There will also be performances by Halsey, Jennifer Hudson and The Weeknd.
It seems Taylor Swift is among those who will be on the coveted list.
“In a year in which we are unfortunately unable to convene the TIME100 community together in person, we are excited to celebrate the extraordinary achievements of the members of this year’s list with a brand-new experience on ABC that will allow more people to participate than ever before,” TIME studios president Ian Orefice wrote in a statement.
