Sorry. Can’t get the link to work. BBC news.

"will not use" , not will lose.

[Bobbisox1]

And I agree they should

[chrissa1]

Same difference???

[Prudie]

He'll still be called Prince Harry though yes? - so no big deal.

[JimF]

Good for them! And paying back some of the taxpayers' money too. An example for the rest of the pointless, anachronistic, feudal family to follow.

[Mamyalynne]

Rewrite it then - why ask for the link?

[237SJ]

Fair enough - they can't have it all ways

[elliemay1]

//"will not use" , not will lose.//
Of course there's a difference!

[Mamyalynne]

Obvious to me.

[Jackdaw33]

That makes more sense.There is no way Harry could lose the title and Meghan only on divorce.

[chrissa1]

Ok ok, guys. Sorry.

[Prudie]

Don't worry Chrissa - will not use is only the polite way of suggesting it was their decision which we don't actually know at all rather than will lose suggesting they've been stripped of it.

I'm with chrissa1 in that I cannot see a distinct difference between the two wordings. Surely if they have been told that they cannot use the designation HRH they have lost the right to do so.

[retrocop]

As a blood Royal he does not lose his title but will choose not to use it.
They 'wish' to pay back the £240,000,000 refurbishment for Frogmore. Will we ever know if they do?
Harry is no longer patron of the Armed Forces whatever service and nothing concrete about his future protection and who pays for it.
Hope thats the end of this Saga but I reckon we will be hearing a lot more about Megan soon.

// Surely if they have been told that they cannot use the designation HRH they have lost the right to do so. //

Because they have stepped back from 'Royal duties' they will no longer use that address but he's still got it.

[ichkeria]

Well done them.
Indeed well done all.
Looks like a good arrangement

[sanmac]

OK, retro, you're saying that he, or they, said that they will no longer use it. I initially had the impression that the Queen had said they will no longer use it as sort of a command not to do so...Hope I worded that correctly.
