Prince Harry’s sit-down lunch with Queen described by royal aide as one ‘with no titles’PRINCE HARRY and Meghan Markle's royal titles have been under scrutiny ever since they left the royal fold - and a Palace aide revealed the Duke did have a sit-down lunch with the Queen where there were 'no titles', according to a biography. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are married and they should both become independent, but not at the expense of attacks on the Royal Family. Prince Harry showed a complete lack of class, and from Markle, no one expected her for obvious reasons. It's nice he still likes HIS grandmother. If you want out then DON'T hang on to titles to use as a profit maker🤑 I wouldn't have thought the royals asked them to leave, perhaps 1 person told him to quit.
