Yes, precisely. The issue was whether the monarch would need to go through Parliament to hypothetically remove HRH and Prince.
Here is the Titles Deprivation Act and the Order in Council naming the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, the Duke of Cumberland, and the Duke of Brunswick. I agree with those who read the Act to cover all British dignities.

Of course, the usage of the Titles Deprivation Act and the Letters Patent of 1917 on the British Royal Family's German relatives had no practical effect, as they and their descendants continued to call themselves HRH and HH until this day (even if those predicates were also legally abolished in Germany in 1919).
