The speculation follows reports of a potential documentary concerning the late Princess Diana, which Harrold believes could exacerbate the existing tensions between the two brothers.

Speaking on behalf of OLBG, Harrold noted that under the reign of King William, the monarch might utilize his authority to distance himself from his sibling. He stated that it will be on William’s mind to remove the title, if things continue the way they are.
