I've been playing a lot of chess lately. A real thinking of what if, then this or what about that? Always thinking about where to be in future moves. And, what will the other side do in response.
One of the problems with taking away all the titles is that now she is reduced to being (merely) Princess Harold from what little I understand about title protocol. (and how long do you think before Princess Meghan, like Princess Diana, would take to emerge and no guesses as to who would drive it?)
But ... what if ...
only the Sussex and Kilkeel titles were taken away? Allow them to keep Dumbarton. That one never seems to make any headlines - meaning a rare mention to almost never in terms of existence.
She would now be Countess or Lady Dumbarton, right? If Sussex is what is commonly mentioned instead of Princess, then why not leave them with just Dumbarton?
I remember reading they opted not to give that title to Archie at his birth fearing he would be teased by kids later on.
I was pondering this as we hear (periodically depending on if she wants to be titled so just plain MM) as the Duchess or Duke and not so much Prince H and her as Prince H.
So ... could this happen like this according to protocol?
