Yes, Harry remains a prince.
Despite stepping back from his role as a senior working royal, Prince Harry retains his birthright title of prince.
Here's a breakdown of his current status:
| Status | Details |
|---|---|
| Prince | Harry remains a prince by birthright and is currently fifth in line to the throne. |
| Duke of Sussex | He retains the title of Duke of Sussex along with his wife, Meghan, who is the Duchess of Sussex. |
| HRH Status | Harry is no longer referred to as His Royal Highness (HRH). |
| Military Titles | He relinquished his military titles when he stepped back from royal duties. |
| Royal Duties | Harry and his wife have transitioned to a more independent life, focusing on charitable work and other private endeavors. |
Key points to understand:
- Titles are complex: The rules and protocols regarding royal titles can be intricate. Just because someone relinquishes some aspects of their role does not mean they lose titles entirely.
- Birthright titles: Prince and princess titles are typically birthrights and are not easily removed.
- HRH vs. Titles: The style of "His/Her Royal Highness" is a manner of address that denotes a working royal. It is different from the title of prince or princess itself.
In conclusion, while Harry has stepped down from being a senior working royal and lost the HRH style, he still holds the title of prince and is in line for the throne.
