Does Meghan Markle believe she’s still a royal highness?

When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle staged their dramatic departure from the royal family five years ago, there were various conditions attached to their ‘Megxit’. One of the most insistent was that the pair were no longer allowed to use their HRH, or Royal Highness, titles. These were solely reserved for those working royals who are expected to perform often arduous and tedious duties, rather than a pair of chancers who saw the opportunity to monetise their birthright (him) and the chance to cash in on an advantageous marriage (her).

However, old habits have a habit of dying hard, and even Meghan can be forgiven for having moments of wondering ‘what might have been’ had she remained a rather talked-about member of ‘the Firm’. During a recent podcast interview it emerged that, should one be fortunate enough to receive a gift from Meghan – perhaps a pot of her notorious As Ever-branded raspberry jam – it is likely to come with a note, on monogrammed paper no less, reading ‘with the compliments of HRH The Duchess of Sussex’.
