Online petition for Prince Harry to quit his titles garners more than 40,000 signatures

More than 43,000 people have signed a petition demanding Prince Harry gives up his titles.

Lady Colin Campbell started the online protest.

The royal watcher argued that the Prince should voluntarily request his grandmother – The Queen – to put his “royal style titles and rank in abeyance”.

It reads:

“As a purely private citizen, with no royal rank, style or title, he (Harry) will be able to indulge his personal beliefs, as is the right of all private citizens, without the consequential possibility of damaging the institution of the Monarchy or relations between Friendly Powers, and will be free to articulate beliefs, no matter how objectionable, without the fallout that is otherwise inevitable as long as he possesses royal status.”

Lady Campbell, 71, said:

“I started it (the petition) because I think it’s the right thing to do.

“I have spoken to people, many people, who think it’s the right thing to do and it is the solution.

“It is the best solution because it frees Harry to be able to indulge himself without consequence and without doing damage to the institution of the monarchy of the British nation, the British people and himself.”

Prince Harry, 36, and his wife Meghan Markle, 39, have distanced themselves from the UK over the last year.

The couple recently gave a bombshell “tell-all” interview to Oprah Winfrey.
