Buckingham Palace has told Meghan Markle not to use ‘Her Royal Highness’.
William, the younger prince, “loathes and despises Harry and Meghan with every bone in his body; he believes they have betrayed everything the family stands for, and the idea that they are using their royal status as a calling card will enrage him,” according to a source.
According to the insider, Meghan is violating a deal with the late Queen Elizabeth II by continuing to use the title ‘Her Royal Highness’ while advertising her business As Ever.
After accompanying Jamie Kern Lima for a podcast interview, she presented her a gift basket including “homemade strawberry sauce” and a card reading, “With the Compliments of HRH The Duchess of Sussex.”
However, according to a Buckingham Palace statement from January 2020, “The Sussexes will not use their HRH titles as they are no longer working members of the Royal Family.”
It also stated that “with The Queen’s approval, the Sussexes will continue to maintain their private patronages and associations.” While they can no longer legally represent the Queen, the Sussexes have stated that everything they do will uphold Her Majesty’s principles.”
Meghan Markle accused of showing how weak King Charles is
Now, a friend of the future king has said, “Charles has completely lost control. It’s apparent that Harry and Meghan have every intention of making his final years a misery, just as he feared they would.”
“Meghan using her HRH exposes how weak and enfeebled he is. She knows he won’t do anything. There is no way King William will stand for this. The titles will simply be removed when he is king. A way will be found,” the pal noted.
Meghan and Harry not allowed to use royal titles ‘for commercial purposes’
They told the Daily Beast that “Harry and Meghan retain their HRH titles; however, by agreement, they do not use them for commercial purposes.” While they do not use the term ‘HRH,’ this was a personal gift, and their titles remain.”
A former courtier, however, described it as “complete rubbish,” claiming that their leaving agreements “made it clear they had agreed not to use the HRH titles at all, ever, in any capacity.”
