Charles can't strip the peerage titles.
That will take an Act of Parliament and the only reason that a peer has ever been stripped of his title was treason.
Sorry their words do no constitute treason under the actual treason act which has specified actions e.g. has Harry slept with Camilla or Catherine (but only since 8th September, 2022 when she became the wife of the heir to the throne)? has he joined an army at war with Britain? has he actually advocated overthrowing Charles or preventing William or George from succeeding to the throne? has he killed specific officers of the crown such as the Lord Chamberlain?
If he hasn't done any of the above then he hasn't committed treason. As treason is the only reason a peer has ever been stripped of their title then he hasn't done anything that warrants having his titles removed.
Even if the proposed bill to return to Charles the power to strip peerage titles (which will have its second reading on the 24th March - was supposed to be 9th December but they run out of time so it was put off until then does become law there is no guarantee that Charles would follow through anyway. As this bill doesn't have the support of the government, or the King, it probably won't pass anyway. Private Member's bills rarely become law. Most don't get past the second reading state, if they even get that far.
