Overview
- Meghan Markle signed a gift card for her 'As Ever' product line using the HRH title, which she and Harry agreed not to use after stepping back as working royals in 2020.
- Royal insiders allege this act violates the agreement made with the late Queen Elizabeth to refrain from using the title, particularly for commercial purposes.
- Prince William is reportedly incensed by the incident and is said to be planning to strip the Sussexes of their HRH titles once he ascends to the throne.
- The Sussexes' representatives argue that the gift basket was personal and not a commercial act, maintaining that there was no breach of the 2020 agreement.
- The dispute underscores ongoing tensions within the royal family and raises questions about the future exercise of monarchical authority over royal titles.
