Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have faced criticism for leveraging their royal connections to “earn money for themselves”.
Charles Rae, a former royal editor, expressed disapproval of their financial pursuits.
The royal expert explained: “They are trading in their royal links to make their own money and I have never had any objections to them making money; it’s entirely up to them.
“But, to use the royal links is for me, wrong and I think it’s about time they lost the titles the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.”
He acknowledged: “You can’t take away his prince title because he was born a prince.”
While he acknowledged that they have the right to make money, he believes using their royal ties is inappropriate. Rae even suggested that it might be time for them to relinquish their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles. However, he noted that Prince Harry’s prince title cannot be taken away due to his birthright.
As Prince Harry’s highly anticipated book, Spare, prepares to hit bookshelves worldwide on January 23, Rae predicts fireworks. He speculates that the memoir, which may contain family exclusives, could stir controversy. Meanwhile, the Royal Family remains in the spotlight following the late Queen’s passing. The recent release of The Crown season five on Netflix further adds to the cultural fascination with the royals. The series delves into the tumultuous 1990s, focusing on King Charles and Princess Diana’s marriage breakdown.
Despite the buzz surrounding Prince Harry’s book and the family drama, Rae pointedly observes that Harry has remained silent regarding Netflix’s portrayal of his late mother. His silence speaks volumes.
