A petition against Meghan Markle and Harry
Meghan Markle and Harry may have gone too far, though. Since the Megxit, Archie's parents have been in the news and have not been shy about attacking the royal family.

'At the moment she's inundated with offers, and that's partly to do with being a duchess,' the same source said. Meghan Markle still calls herself the Duchess of Sussex, signs most of said offers with that prestigeous title, and has been able to release a book as well as work with Spotify and Netflix.
If the Queen decides to withdraw her royal titles, it could put a serious crimp in her plans and she would lose a lot of the exposure she's gained from her association with the Firm...
