According to Mail talk show The Reaction, Prince Harry and Meghan should be stripped of their titles to prevent them from shamelessly profiting from the royal family.
In the latest episode, out today, Mail columnists Sarah Vine and Andrew Pierce take aim at Harry and Meghan's new website Sussex.com to question whether the couple are swapping their royal titles in exchange for their agreement with the late queen.
Without the royal family, Ms. Vine said, Harry would simply be a “slightly fat, bald ex-soldier” while Meghan would be a “moderately attractive, not very successful ex-actress.”
After sources close to the former active royals tried to quell any uproar over the naming of the website, Ms Vine added: “What really irritated me was that 'their people' responded to criticism… by saying Sussex be her last name.”
Mr. Pierce interjected: “In my opinion, reminding the world that they are royal is a shameless way to monetize them.”

Ms Vine concluded that the Sussexes “should be stripped of their titles to finally put an end to this nonsense” as their “currency is their association with the royal family”.
Agreeing, Mr. Pierce said that he believed that to save the royal family from further embarrassment, “the firm should not stop at stripping them of their titles” and that their children should also be prevented from doing so. Prince and Princess can also be used.
Joined by the Sussexes, the pair discuss why it's considered “cool” to be anti-Israel and their hatred of Valentine's Day, sharing their insights and views on the day's most important issues – no matter how controversial.
They are united in their condemnation of the ugly scenes as a “roaring” pro-Palestinian mob gathered outside the home of Tory MP Tobias Ellwood this week.
“I think there is a very fine line between legitimate protest and intimidation, and I think these people have crossed it,” Ms Vine said.
Mr. Pierce asked: “What is it about Palestine that incites the mob and causes them to turn against Israel and anyone who supports the State of Israel with such violence and viciousness?”
His co-host on the YouTube talk show responded: “That’s anti-Semitism, in just one word.”
She added: “There is a certain level of fashion in supporting Palestine.” It reminds me a little of when I was younger and everyone thought Che Guevara was a really cool guy.
“It's the path of least resistance. If you say, 'I support Palestine,' people say, 'Yay,' because it makes them feel cool and like they're on the right side.”

They also discussed their dislike of the consumerist, Americanized, and completely unromantic event that Valentine's Day has become.
Ms Vine revealed she “hates Valentine's Day” and believes a better way to show someone you love them is to take out the bins, unload the dishwasher or not mention when your partner has gained some weight.
She added: “Such a horrible thing where you go to Marks & Spencer or Tesco and give yourself a Valentine's dinner deal with a bunch of overpriced, over-processed roses is just tacky and horrible.”
