Sussex’s Bold Move: Ditching Titles and Making a Clean Break from Royals
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been urged to make a bold move by ditching their titles and severing ties with the Royal family.
The couple, known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have faced criticism for allegedly using their titles for personal gain through commercial ventures.
Despite stepping down as senior members of the Royal family and relocating to California, they have retained their titles but have now been advised to relinquish them entirely.
Graham Smith, CEO of Republic, has emphasized the importance of the couple making a clean break from their Royal affiliations.
He believes that holding onto their titles while pursuing private interests creates a conflicting situation where they are neither fully committed to Royal duties nor fully independent.
Smith argues that the titles were initially bestowed upon them for the benefit of the country, and since they are no longer fulfilling those duties, it is time to let go of the titles.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have come under scrutiny for profiting from their Royal connections, despite criticizing the monarchy.
Their lucrative deals with Netflix and Spotify following their Royal exit have raised eyebrows within the Royal family, particularly concerning Prince William.
A Royal expert, Duncan Larcombe, expressed William’s unease about Harry and Meghan’s business ventures, suggesting that he may distance himself from them if they continue to exploit their Royal ties for personal gain.
Harry and Meghan’s multi-million dollar deals with Netflix and Spotify have been viewed as a significant departure from traditional Royal responsibilities.
Larcombe pointed out that their ventures may not align with Queen Elizabeth II’s preferences, labeling their actions as potentially the biggest Royal sellout in history.
The couple’s transition from working Royals to Hollywood producers has sparked concerns about their continued association with the Royal brand while pursuing independent projects.
Despite their successful ventures in entertainment, including Harry’s mental health series with Oprah Winfrey and Meghan’s children’s book, the couple faces ongoing criticism for leveraging their Royal titles for financial gain.
Larcombe stressed the importance of Harry and Meghan finding new business opportunities unrelated to their Royal identities to avoid further straining their relationships with the Royal family, particularly Prince William.
Continuously capitalizing on their Royal brand could jeopardize their connections within the Royal circle, leading to potential rifts in the future.
