Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have reportedly decided to distance themselves from their royal titles and associations. The power couple, who made headlines worldwide when they stepped down as senior working royals in 2020 and subsequently moved to the United States, seem determined to prove that they have earned their fame in the spotlight on their own terms.
Renowned royal author Clive Irving, known for his book “The Last Queen,” recently spoke out on the matter, stating, “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex won’t rely on their royal status in the future as they have now become celebrities.” He went on to suggest that Meghan Markle may choose to keep her distance from other members of the royal family, particularly Prince William and Kate Middleton, due to a perceived lack of comfort between them.
Irving’s comments have sparked a heated debate on social media, with many speculating whether Meghan and Harry will take the drastic step of renouncing their royal titles. One social media user exclaimed, “Oh yeah! They do not need to use their royal cards anymore.”
Indeed, Meghan and Harry have made significant strides in establishing themselves as independent public figures. They signed lucrative multi-million-dollar deals with entertainment giants Netflix and Spotify, providing them with a platform to share their unique perspectives and experiences within the royal family. Prince Harry also made waves with the release of his memoir, “Spare,” in which he revealed shocking insights into his time as a member of the royal family.
As the Duke and Duchess of Sussex continue to navigate their evolving roles in the public eye, their decision to distance themselves from their royal frame signals a new chapter in their journey towards self-reliance and self-expression, independent of their royal heritage.
