Royal Family Allegedly Bans Meghan Markle, Prince Harry Over Fears They Will 'Move Merchandise' Off the Monarchy

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are facing fresh scrutiny after a report claimed the Royal Family has effectively shut the door on appearing alongside the Sussexes, amid fears they could be used to 'move merchandise' off the monarchy. The allegation centres on Meghan's recent fashion links to the Invictus Games, Harry's veteran-led charity project, and the discomfort it is said to have caused inside royal circles.

For context, the new row follows Meghan's investment in the fashion platform OneOff, which allows users to shop celebrity looks and gives her a commission on sales generated through affiliate links. OneOff has backdated outfits Meghan wore at the Invictus Games in Canada in 2025, which critics see as a grubby overlap between charity, celebrity and commerce.
