Over 20,000 people have signed a petition calling for Prince Harry to give up his Royal titles after he and wife Meghan Markle stepped down as senior members of the Royal family.

The soon-to-be dad-of-two, who reunited with Oprah Winfrey for a new Apple TV mental health special last week, has been blasted by many people who have questioned why Harry still has his titles.

Amongst them is Lady Colin Campbell, 71, who has said he should approach the Queen himself to ask her to "suspend them".

The royal expert started the petition calling for Harry's titles to be put into abeyance – which means they would be temporarily suspended.


Speaking to the Daily Star, the outspoken critic expressed: "I have spoken to people, many people, who think it's the right thing to do and it is the solution.

"It is a dignified solution for all concerned. To humiliate no-one and protect everyone. I think it's a humane way of solving a very regrettable situation."

The I'm A Celebrity star added that she believes Harry, 36, and his wife Meghan Markle, 29, will still be able to "sell their brand" without the use of their titles.

"So from that point of view it frees him and he is big enough that he doesn't need the royal title, he's gone beyond that, he doesn't need them, they are shackles that he could well do without.

"He doesn't need them – he is too big for them now," she admitted.

This comes after Harry took a fresh swipe at the Royal family after saying he learned families can "feel shame" when they hear of mental health struggles.

Speaking to Glenn Close on a bonus episode for the Apple TV+ series, he said: "As parents, as siblings, certainly from what I've learned – there's an element of shame we feel, because we're like, 'How could we not have seen it?'

"How did we not know? How did you not feel comfortable enough to come to me and share that with me?

"But we all know when people are suffering and people are struggling, that we're all incredibly good at covering it up for those that know that we're covering it up."
