THE Queen should permanently strip Prince Harry of his military titles because he cannot be an “absentee armchair general”, Piers Morgan says.
When Harry and wife Meghan Markle dramatically quit their royal duties last January, the Duke was forced to give up his various roles in Her Majesty’s armed forces for one year.
The decision to strip him of the titles will be reviewed next month – and according to the prince’s “friends”, he is “determined” to win them back.
Yet, the Queen reportedly does not want to restore the honours believing her grandson cannot be a “half-in, half-out” royal.
Writing in the Daily Mail, Piers said: “What is being questioned is his ability to physically commit, in the UK, to the three military organisations he wants to represent.”
He adds: “He was a good soldier himself, rising to the rank of Captain and serving two tours of Afghanistan during a 10-year military career.
“But none of this justifies him being allowed to retain honorary military titles he was given through his royal status when he still performed royal duties.”
