In or Out: What’s The Deal With Prince Harry And The British Throne?

Since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s decision to step back from their royal duties in 2020, people have been wondering about certain things. Right now, Prince Harry resides in the U.S. and is looking to get full citizenship at some point, but it’s important to note that he’s still a member of the royal family and technically has the right to the throne. Of course, the U.K. parliament could have a different opinion.

On the other hand, Harry doesn’t seem to be interested in all that throne drama and never has been, in fact. It’s one thing to be the next in line and a completely different thing to be “Plan B.” His wonderful family often referred to him as a “spare,” which is a completely inappropriate term.

Even after leaving his royal life and potentially becoming the “spare” ruler, there are no talks of stripping Harry of his titles, since that’s not something the royal family can do even if they wanted to.
