Meghan's 'HRH' title use sparks royal rift anew
23 Jul
Summary
- Meghan's use of 'HRH' on branded items caused frustration.
- This has complicated Prince William and Prince Harry's relationship.
- The Sussexes agreed to stop using 'HRH' titles officially in 2020.
Fresh royal tensions have emerged for Prince Harry following a reported misstep by Meghan Markle involving the "HRH" title. This incident has complicated efforts to improve the strained relationship between Harry and his brother, Prince William. The use of "HRH," which stands for "His/Her Royal Highness," is reserved for senior working members of the monarchy.
This designation was reportedly used on items from Meghan's brand, As Ever, by a friend in a social media post. This action is seen as a violation of the 2020 Sandringham Agreement, where the Duke and Duchess of Sussex pledged to stop using their "HRH" titles officially. Sources indicate Prince William is "deeply frustrated" by this perceived commercial use of royal titles, exacerbating existing rifts that have persisted since the couple moved to California six years ago.
