Charles should remove Harry and Meghan’s Sussex titles over book, says leading UK paper

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:17:32 GMT

The editorial board for the U.K.’s “newspaper of record,” The Times, said this week that King Charles III should consider stripping his son and daughter-in-law, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, of their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles, following the publication of “Endgame,” a highly critical book about the monarchy, written by an author known as their “unofficial mouthpiece.”While Harry and Meghan deny any “affiliation” with the book by Omid Scobie — through anonymous leaks to the media — the Times editorial board said it is “still reasonable to presume that the Sussexes at the very least may have given their blessing to Scobie’s new collection of largely unsubstantiated Windsor-bashing allegations.”“Far from seeking the quiet life and reconciliation they claim to ­desire, it looks instead as if Harry and Meghan are inflicting maximum public ­reputational damage on their relatives and the ­institut...

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Wednesday unveiled his new HIV/AIDS strategy to end the more than 40-year-old epidemic, calling for a renewed focus on vulnerable Americans — including gay and bisexual Black and Latino men, who his administration says are too often stigmatized even as they are disproportionately affected.The new strategy, which declares racism a “public health threat,” was released on the annual commemoration of World AIDS Day. It is meant to serve as a framework for how the administration shapes its policies, research, programs and planning over the next three years.But Biden acknowledged that the country still needs to work to destigmatize HIV/AIDS and noted that LGBT and racial minority groups have “endured the brunt” of the epidemic that’s killed more than 36 million worldwide, including 700,000 Americans.“I want to make sure that everyone in the United States knows their HIV status, and everyone with HIV receives high-quality care and treatment tha...
