** READ BEFORE COMMENTING ~ Let's make something very clear, this is NOT up for debate. It is simply LEGAL FACTS.
While many have alleged that Prince Harry’s HRH Style was taken from him, this is completely incorrect. His Style and Princely Title are a birthright granted to him in 1917 by Letters Patent from his 2x great grandfather, King George V. To "remove" it from him would take the Sovereign issuing either a Royal Warrant or Letters Patent. A process the late Queen Elizabeth II did NOT start, a process his father, HM King Charles III, has NOT started.
While in late October 2025 Buckingham Palace announced King Charles III initiated the formal process to formally remove The Style, Princely Title, subsidiary Titles and honours from Harry’s paternal uncle, Andrew, at this time this in NO WAY AFFECTS PRINCE HARRY as these actions have NOT been taken against him.
As of this time Prince Harry has SIMPLY, with his grandmother's, and now one would think his father's approval, agreed to not USE his birthright style of His Royal Highness IN HIS PRIVATE LIFE. Thus, in his private or business life it is correct to NOT use HRH. BUT anytime he is partaking in PUBLIC, NATIONAL, ROYAL events, PROTOCOL dictates that he be addressed with his LEGALLY ENTITLED Style and Title of HRH Prince Henry, The Duke of Sussex and be given all the Royal privileges and graces he is legally and by birthright entitled to.
