Critics Want Meghan Markle's Royal Title Removed. Here's Why
Meghan Markle has called on women to vote at this year's U.S. national elections in November, with a rally cry of "We all know what is at stake."
Markle currently holds the title the Duchess of Sussex. She has headquartered Donald Trump previously and joined a panel of star speakers.

She said that all they hope to honor people who arrived before them to safeguard the ones that come after them.
"All of us know what is at stake this year. I understand it, I feel all of you know it in case you're here in this enjoyable event."
However, Markle's participation in the said virtual voting registration event created a stir on social media, with mixed reactions.
Royal Title Removed
Some are calling for her to lose her royal tile Duchess of Sussex for allegedly violation a royal protocol.
The said violation was her participation in a virtual event Michelle Obama's non-partisan organization When We All Vote.
Members of British royal family are expected not to discuss politics. However, this might not be applicable to her and her husband Prince Harry.
The two had already stepped back from their royal duties in January and no longer formally represent Queen Elizabeth.
Broadcaster Piers Morgan is among people calling for Markle's royal title removal.
Piers said through a tweet that the Queen must strip the Sussexes off their titles.
"They can't remain as royals & spout off about foreign elections in such a brazenly partisan way," Piers was quoted in a tweet.
Commentator Julia Hartley-Brewer also said that losing their title is not cancelling culture as it is a breach of their employment contract.
Brewer said you can not be a royal and meddle in politics, adding that the point of royals is they are above political fray.
"It's not cancel culture, it's a breach of their employment contract as HRHs. PS. I'm a republican," Brewer tweeted.
