Meghan Markle Reportedly Uses HRH Title Privately, Sparks Controversy

Controversy has emerged over Meghan Markle's use of the HRH title after a podcast revealed she sent a gift basket to entrepreneur Jamie Kern Lima with a card signed 'HRH The Duchess of Sussex.' While the 2020 agreement with Buckingham Palace stipulated that Meghan and Prince Harry would not use their HRH titles as non-working royals, sources close to the couple insist the title has only been used privately and not for commercial purposes. The gift, described as a personal gesture, included a jar of jam from Meghan's lifestyle brand, but there is no evidence the title was used to promote business ventures. The couple retains their HRH styles, though they are held in abeyance and not used publicly, similar to the arrangement with Prince Andrew. Some palace insiders interpret the agreement as a total ban on any use of the HRH titles, while the Sussexes reportedly believe the restriction applies only to commercial activities. The incident highlights ongoing ambiguity and differing interpretations regarding the use of royal titles post-Megxit.
