Prince Harry and Meghan Markle can't seem to shake off their royal titles, even though they vowed to relinquish their royal duties in 2020. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are again involved in hot water with Buckingham Palace over what they are said to have breached their contract, but according to sources, Buckingham Palace has been limited in its actions.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have always expressed a desire to become "financially independent" and pursue a private business career separate from the royal family. But since officially resigning from their positions as high-ranking working royals, they seem unable to completely sever ties with the royal family's image and status, which still garners huge public attention. Their newly formed non-profit charity, Archewell, reportedly violated their business promise to the late Queen regarding the use of royal titles and status.
On Archewell's **, both Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are referred to as dukes and duchesses. Descriptions of their philanthropic work are also intertwined with their status in the royal family. Experts say the practice is very close, and may even be a blatant use of their royal branding and associations to attract Archewell's traffic and money.
Sources within the royal family believe that the explicit use of royal titles in business** violates a promise made to the queen that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will not use or profit from their royal status after relinquishing their royal duties. Others claimed that it was clearly contrary to the "spirit" of their agreement with the Queen, if not in direct violation.
However, Buckingham Palace insiders said the court was limited in any tough response or action on the latest controversy. The reason is that King Charles now has more pressing tasks to complete, which are not related to further quarrels with his son.
A palace source said: "The king has just ascended the throne and assumed the duties of a monarch. The last thing he needs is that he gets into a public quarrel with Prince Harry. ”
While this won't be favored internally, it is recognised that Charles now has more important things to focus on than arguing with his son. ”
With the Queen's passing, Buckingham Palace lacked her discreet diplomatic skills and clout when it came to resolving family issues in private. Any retaliatory or disciplinary action will increase tensions and negative ** coverage, something the newly crowned king wants to avoid as he struggles to establish his role.
While some conservatives and royal aides have expressed displeasure with Harry and Meghan's latest apparent breach of the agreement, the consensus is that the monarchy needs stability and unity at this transitional moment. The court officially refused to comment on the Archewell affair, instead focusing public statements on support for the king.
Behind the walls of the palace, it is likely that one was very disappointed with the behavior of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who could not get rid of their royal titles. Despite their vows to live a private life, the latest Archewell scandal shows that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have not completely severed ties with their former royal roles. Only time will tell whether such mistakes will truly alienate them from the institutions they once vowed to serve.
For King Charles, maintaining a stable stance on family and keeping things together remains a top priority. But after the closed doors of the palace, the staff must have been very annoyed by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who stubbornly caused controversy in matters involving royal titles.
Despite the king's apparent calmness, it is certain that there must have been a rift between some people on the other side of the Atlantic. It seems that even as they try to get rid of it, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are still closely tied to the institution they once vowed to leave.
Of course, this does not mean that the Duchess of Sussex is completely free of consequences. While the king may not act for now, sources say tensions over issues like this have led to an ongoing estrangement between California's exiles and the country's working royal family. Even after avoiding open conflict, Prince Harry's relationship with his father and brother was damaged.
In the public**, the controversy did not benefit the image of the duke and duchess abroad. Many people online have criticized the couple online for being hypocritical while clinging to royal titles to pursue royal fame and associating themselves with the royal family's philanthropic traditions.
Therefore, although Buckingham Palace will not take direct action at this time, there will be certain consequences both within the royal family and in the public**. The latest storm over Archewell suggests that Harry and Meghan are not completely out of their former royal roles, despite their promises to live a private life. Only time will tell if further missteps will truly alienate them from the institution they once swore to serve.
