In a week already brimming with K-Pop princes, secret rollerblade bunkers, and shocking DNA revelations, the latest Royal Family development might just be the most impactful, and certainly the most divisive.

Sources close to Buckingham Palace are now confirming what many have long suspected: Prince Harry is actively being ‘pushed out’ of the inner circle, with moves being made to formally sever his remaining ties to the monarchy.

This isn’t just about titles or patronages anymore; it’s about a complete and unequivocal separation. But here’s the most unsettling part of this evolving drama: rather than widespread sympathy, a significant portion of the public appears to be… celebrating.

The Gradual Erosion: From ‘Megxit’ to ‘Harryxit’

The process, which began subtly with the ‘Megxit’ decision in 2020, has reportedly accelerated behind the scenes. Following the recent slew of tell-all memoirs, documentaries, and the increasingly public nature of their grievances, the Palace is said to have reached its breaking point.

“It’s no longer a matter of reconciliation; it’s about drawing a definitive line,” stated a veteran royal correspondent, who asked to remain anonymous due to the sensitivity of the topic. “The King, and certainly Prince William, are said to believe that the continued public airing of grievances and perceived betrayals is simply too damaging for the institution. Harry and Meghan’s current position is seen as untenable.“

Recent reports suggest that discussions are underway to strip Harry of his remaining military titles and potentially even to remove his place in the line of succession for ceremonial, rather than practical, purposes – effectively making his royal connection purely titular, without any active role or recognition.

The Unsettling Celebration: “Good Riddance!”

While some traditional royalists are lamenting the perceived loss of a popular figure, a startling number of people, particularly online, are openly expressing relief and even joy at the news. Social media is awash with comments ranging from “Good riddance!” to “It’s about time!“

Why this seemingly harsh reaction?

• “Drama Fatigue”: Many feel exhausted by the constant stream of accusations and counter-accusations. “I’m just tired of the drama,” one user posted. “It feels like they’re airing dirty laundry constantly, and it reflects poorly on everyone.“
• “Perceived Hypocrisy”: Critics argue that Harry and Meghan seek the benefits of royal life (status, recognition, security) without the corresponding duties or respect for the institution. “You can’t have your cake and eat it too,” is a common sentiment. “They want out, but still want the spotlight and the titles.“
• “Undermining the Monarchy”: For loyalists, the Sussexes’ actions are seen as directly undermining the very institution they were born into. “The monarchy survives on dignity and tradition,” wrote another commenter. “Their actions have done immense damage to public perception.“
• “Support for William and Kate”: A significant portion of the public has rallied behind Prince William and Princess Catherine, viewing them as diligently upholding their duties despite personal attacks. Any move that solidifies their position and removes perceived obstacles is, for these supporters, a positive step.

A Divisive Future for the Spares

This drastic step marks a definitive end to any hopes of Harry and Meghan returning to active royal roles. It also solidifies a deeply divided future for the Royal Family. While the Palace remains officially silent, the mood among some circles is one of grim determination.

The celebratory tone from a segment of the public, however, paints a stark picture of how far the Duke of Sussex’s popularity has fallen in certain quarters. As the dust settles on this unprecedented separation, the question remains: Can the Royal Family truly move forward without one of its most charismatic, if controversial, members? And at what cost to the enduring image of the monarchy?
