I don't really keep up with royal intrigues, but afaik Harry sort-of renounced his position and/or was pushed out. I think the inner circle considered his new wife to be insufficiently white.

Although no newspaper will say it, he is commonly believed to be the son of one of Diana's lovers and so not an heir to the throne in the usual sense.

Indeed. But still calls himself a prince and hasn’t abdicated as far as I’m aware, so…

"the Duke of Sussex is still technically considered to be a prince, even though he wishes otherwise"

For me, that is not necessarily a contradiction. Prince is just a title that he inherited.

Standing up for democracy is active engagement. You have to do something for it. And anyone can do that.

If you truly stood for democracy, the first thing you’d do is to abdicate your title in the monarchy. Monarchy is the opposite of democracy.
