As per a royal expert, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will need their royal tags for a crucial reason: their commercial deals. For those unversed, the Sussexes returned to the UK from California on August 26 and intend to stay in Britain for an extended period of time. A few days later, King Charles issued a statement via Lord Chamberlain, asserting that Harry and Meghan are not working royals anymore. Additionally, the letter stated that they cannot carry out royal engagements or use royal titles.
Expert talks about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle requiring their Royal tag
Royal expert Hugo Vickers dished to The Sun that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will require their royal tags to secure commercial deals. Taking a subtle jibe at the Sussexes, he said that they don’t need to keep themselves attached to the royal family to remain relevant.
Continuing further, Vickers said that the Sussexes chose to walk away from royal family life in January 2020. They embraced a non-royal life as private citizens as they settled into their new life in Montecito, California, U.S. Now that Harry and Meghan have returned, they want to take part in public life and reap the benefits of the royal family. As per the royal expert, it is “completely contradictory” to what was agreed upon at the Sandringham meeting in the late Queen’s presence. “They must accept that,” he added.
Harry and Meghan stepped back from working royal duties in 2020 and subsequently established their lives in the United States. Their post-royal projects have included the 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, the Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan, and Harry’s 2023 memoir, Spare, all of which brought renewed attention to their relationship with the Royal Family.
Harry’s memoir, Spare, further intensified public scrutiny of his relationship with the Royal Family, including his strained relationship with Prince William. Reports have continued to describe tensions between the brothers, although the precise nature of their current contact is not publicly known. Harry and Meghan, meanwhile, met King Charles at Highgrove House on July 10, according to reports.
