Prince Harry’s royal title will be removed from an exhibition about his mother. The Duke of Sussex will no longer be referred to as HRH, or His Royal Highness, in the credits on a panel accompanying the display of Princess Diana’s wedding dress at Kensington Palace.
At present, the panel reads: “Lent by HRH the Duke of Cambridge and HRH the Duke of Sussex.” This will be changed to remove the HRH before “Duke of Cambridge.”
According to a spokesperson for the Royal Collection Trust, the letters HRH were never meant to be added to the front of Harry's title on the panel. The prefix was only included as "an administrative error."
But as it turns out, Harry might still be entitled to keep the HRH prefix to his name, if he chooses to do so.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle both decided on their own to stop using the prefix in April 2020, following their joint decision to cease royal duties. The couple retains their titles as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
There has been some question lately as to whether or not Harry and Meghan will retain any titles at all as they no longer maintain any royal duties and currently live in North America.
Tensions have been high between the couple and the royal family, particularly since Harry and Meghan have begun speaking publicly about the issues they experienced while in the royal family.
Palace aides have even started pushing for the Queen to strip Harry of all royal titles, after the prince revealed he had been wanting to leave the family for over a decade.
No changes are set to be made to Prince Harry's royal title at this time. However, the Kensington Palace exhibition will drop the HRH on the panel with his credit.
The exhibition, called "Royal Style in the Making" is displaying Princess Diana's wedding gown from now through January 2022. This is the first time the gown has been on display in 25 years.
