Prince William ‘could strip Harry of HRH title’ when he becomes King, claims former royal butler

Prince William is likely to further distance himself from his brother, Prince Harry, when he becomes King, and could even strip him of his HRH title, according to a former royal butler.

Grant Harrold, who worked for King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, Princess Kate and Prince Harry until 2011, believes rumours of a documentary about Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana, could further deepen the rift between the brothers.

Mr Harrold, speaking on behalf of OLBG, said: “Under the reign of King William, if that’s the name he goes with, you could see him doing everything in his power to distance his brother.”

He added: “I think that it will be on William’s mind to remove the title, if things continue the way they are.”
