'Spiteful' as Always: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Website Relaunch 'Will Trigger More Stress' For King Charles and Princess Kate
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have launched a redesigned Archewell website just as King Charles III battles cancer, and Catherine, Princess of Wales, recovers from "serious" abdominal surgery. Although the late Queen Elizabeth II commanded the Montecito duo to refrain from monetizing her Crown, its new wearer's shocking sickness may have given the "toxic twosome" an out to disobey the monarchy's wishes.
Harry and Meghan ditched the royal family four years ago for sunny Montecito, but not before the late Queen issued a directive that the pair were not to use the branding "SussexRoyal" for monetary gain. Under Charles III's monarchy, all bets seem to be off, since the couple is still using their royal styles and titles all over their new website.
"It’s the most appalling timing. This is not the first time they’ve done this," royal expert Angela Levin shared when discussing the latest Sussex drama.
"They did this sort of thing before when they went ahead with their Oprah interview while Prince Philip was dying in hospital. I don’t think it's a coincidence. It's their way of trying to crush the royal family down. Of course, this is going to trigger more stress for Charles and William," she added.
Levin continued: "Harry knows very much that his grandmother, the late Queen, actually got Harry to say very firmly that he would not use his titles and the crest for commercial gain. This whole thing is for commercial gain. He's kicking them while they're down."
A source close to the California couple pushed back on critical claims by pointing to facts. "Prince Harry and Meghan are the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. That is a fact. It is their surname and family name," they said.
Harry and Meghan, no matter what they may or may not do to court or attract controversy, are and always will be "Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Sussex." Harry will always be styled as "prince," and as long as she remains his legal wife, Meghan will always be "The Princess Henry."
This is unless King Charles issues a Letters Patent to strip Harry and Meghan of both their "HRH" and prince/princess styles, which he can do with the stroke of a pen. The British Parliament is the only body that can remove their "Duke/Duchess of Sussex" titles. The same parameters would also apply to their children, if wished and necessary. Parliament is also the only governing body that can remove Harry and his offspring from the line of succession to the throne.
The King is not expected to strip his youngest son, daughter-in-law, or grandchildren of their regal styles.
