Palace Raises Eyebrow as Sussex Makes Clean Break with Royals and Ditches Titles
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been advised to relinquish their titles and sever ties with the Royal family.
Allegedly, the Royals disapproved of Sussex utilizing their Duke and Duchess titles for lucrative commercial endeavors.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex renounced their roles as senior Royal family members last year, relocating to California.
Subsequently, Queen Elizabeth II revoked their HRH titles and patronages, although they were permitted to retain the titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Graham Smith, CEO of Republic, has urged the couple to completely disassociate themselves from their titles.
He emphasized that the titles were initially bestowed upon them to fulfill Royal duties in service of the country, a commitment they are no longer honoring.
Smith critiqued their current stance as a compromise between Royal obligations and personal pursuits, suggesting they should have entirely abandoned their titles upon stepping back from Royal duties.
The Duke and Duchess have faced criticism for allegedly capitalizing on the monarchy they have criticized as corrupt to its core.
Despite familial norms dictating support for one another, tensions within the Royal family have surfaced.
Royal expert Duncan Larcombe revealed that Prince William is apprehensive about Harry and Meghan's upcoming business ventures.
Following their lucrative deals with Netflix and Spotify post-Royal exit, William is reportedly displeased with the couple profiting from their Royal connections by publicly denouncing certain Royal practices.
Harry and Meghan's multimillion-dollar deals with Netflix and Spotify have raised eyebrows, with Larcombe highlighting potential disapproval from Queen Elizabeth II.
Their transition from full-time working Royals to Hollywood producers has been met with skepticism, particularly regarding their ongoing projects.
While Harry delves into mental health advocacy with Oprah Winfrey in “The Me You Can't See,” Meghan has ventured into children's literature with her book, “The Bench.”
The couple's continued focus on Royal-related projects may deepen the divide between them and the Royal family.
Larcombe emphasized the importance of Harry and Meghan exploring new business avenues unrelated to their Royal ties to avoid further alienation.
He warned that their persistent association with the Royal brand could strain their relationship with William, potentially leading to irreparable rifts if not addressed promptly.
In light of their evolving careers and endeavors, the dynamics between Harry, Meghan, and the Royal family remain complex.
As they navigate their paths in Los Angeles, balancing personal aspirations with public perceptions, the couple faces ongoing scrutiny over their strategic choices.
Larcombe's insights underscore the delicate balance Harry and Meghan must strike to carve out distinct identities separate from their Royal lineage.
The future holds uncertainties as they chart new territories while grappling with the weight of their Royal legacy.
