Stripping Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles was discussed at "the highest level", a bombshell new book claims.

A palace insider told Robert Jobson that many officials joked that Prince Harry was a victim of "Stockholm syndrome" saying, "There was a point when officials joked Harry was the victim of Stockholm syndrome, and he was Meghan's hostage, but now most just feel Harry has turned his back on everything he has known."

Each TV interview to promote his autobiography has made the chances of healing the rift with his father seem less likely," it continued. "Ultimately, despite Charles' enduring love for his son, he will come under increasing pressure if Harry continues to attack the monarchy.

At that point, the King would have two options: put up with the spreading stain on his reign, or take action to limit its scope," the book said.
