Prince Harry quietly set aside his royal title last week, competing under the name “Harry Wales” at the St. Regis World Snow Polo Championship in Aspen, Colorado. Page Six reported that the 41-year-old royal kept a notably low profile at the event, where he axed all mentions of his title. The choice stood out, given that Harry and his wife, Meghan, have repeatedly insisted on retaining their Sussex titles since stepping back from royal duties and relocating to the United States in 2020. Prince Harry was granted the title Duke of Sussex by the late Queen Elizabeth II following his marriage in 2018, with Meghan Markle becoming the Duchess of Sussex. Meghan has been vocal about the significance of the Sussex name. In her Netflix series With Love, Meghan, she corrected Mindy Kaling for calling her “Markle,” explaining that Sussex is the shared family name she has with her children and that it “means so much” to her. According to the outlet, Harry dropped the title for the polo match because he wanted a day of “no titles, just fun,” spending time with close friend Nacho Figueras.
