Meghan Markle has been accused of being 'obsessed' with the Royal Family after claims on Danica Goes Global on Sky News Australia suggested she used the forbidden 'HRH' styling in correspondence linked to a business move. The comments centred on Meghan's reported habit of leaning on her royal status in branding and private communications despite no longer being a working royal.
The controversy follows earlier claims that Meghan sent a gift basket to a podcast host containing a card signed 'With the compliments of HRH, Duchess of Sussex'. The use of 'HRH' is especially sensitive because Buckingham Palace made clear after Prince Harry and Meghan stepped back from royal duties in early 2020 that they would no longer use the His or Her Royal Highness style, although they retained the Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles. None of the latest claims has been independently verified, and there has been no official comment from the Sussexes' camp.
