After Meghan Markle has come under fire for using her HRH title – the same one Buckingham Palace said she agreed to stop using – an insider is sharing how she really feels about the royals. Despite the fact that she still refers to herself as the Duchess of Sussex, one insider has told Page Six that in reality, she “hates” the royal family, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t reportedly trying to use them for her benefit at every turn.
According to what the insider says, the entire family, Lilibet and Archie included, has the HRH title on their stationery, and Meghan and Prince Harry reportedly use their titles when they’re traveling as well. Even after all the backlash, it doesn’t seem like she’s planning to stop anytime soon.
“Meghan hates the royal family and UK, yet flouts [the HRH] for her personal gain. It’s appalling. Everything about her is a contradiction,” the source told Page Six.
Supposedly, Meghan wants to take advantage of the trappings of royal protocol, but in the US, it’s already falling flat.
“It’s weird to refer to your team as ‘private office’ and ask them to call you Sir and Ma’am,” the source said. “Heaven forbid she just asks people to call her ‘Meghan.’”
And speaking of Meghan? The insider claims she has a list of different names people are allowed to call her, which includes HRH, Princess Meghan, Duchess Meghan, and the Duchess of Sussex. Whew!
“For someone who purports to have struggled so much and been so unhappy as a working member of the royal family and with life in the UK, she sure goes out of her way to exploit her ‘royal-ness’ at every turn,” the source told the news outlet.
Even though life as a working royal obviously didn’t work out for her (or her husband), it seems that insiders view Meghan as taking advantage of the association anyway.
The source said even Harry finds the whole thing “ridiculous” and believes that he should be able to continue using the titles that are his birthright. After all, he has been using them his entire life.
It doesn’t seem like the royals themselves will be weighing in on the subject, though. In fact, Buckingham Palace officials told Page Six they won’t be commenting on the matter.
