After their big move to the United States, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry appear to retain a significant title, sparking widespread media conversation. Despite stepping back from royal duties in 2020, the couple has remained at the center of royal-related headlines, especially with recent changes to their personal staff structure.
Montecito's New 'Royal Court' Raises Eyebrows
According to recent reports, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have implemented a staff structure in Montecito that mirrors the setup of the British Royal Household. Each now has their own chief of staff, a move that some royal watchers believe directly contradicts their past criticisms of royal systems. Their big move to the U.S. was seen as an attempt to distance themselves from royal tradition, but these developments suggest otherwise.
Experts Slam the Couple Over Hypocrisy
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams labeled the move "hypocritical," pointing out that Prince Harry had previously described royal courtiers and household staff as adversaries. For many, it’s baffling to see Meghan Markle and Prince Harry establish a similar setup after such pointed criticism. Still, the couple appears to retain the power and influence they've long held, even in their post-royal life.
Media Personalities Continue Their Critique
British commentator Piers Morgan hasn’t held back either. Known for his outspoken views, Morgan has repeatedly slammed Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, often accusing them of double standards. In one of his latest posts, he sarcastically referred to them as “Moaner and Hypocrite” after questioning Harry’s financial dealings with the media he so often condemns. Despite the criticism, the couple continues to retain media attention and their influence remains strong after their big move.
Public Still Divided Over the Couple's Choices
Some members of the public sympathize with the couple, suggesting their actions are attempts to balance personal freedom with responsibility. Others argue that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry want the perks of royalty without the accountability. Even after the big move to California, their decision to mirror royal structures seems to contradict earlier statements, yet they continue to retain symbolic titles and global recognition.
The Power of Titles in a Post-Royal Life
It’s evident that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry still place value on the prestige associated with their roles. Although they are no longer working royals, they seemingly retain a key title, which many believe helps bolster their brand. Their big move may have relocated them physically, but not symbolically. The royal narrative still plays a vital role in their public identity.
Final Thoughts on the Royal Echo in Montecito
While they’ve crossed oceans and made a big move into American life, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry continue to attract attention for both their independence and contradictions. Whether it’s fair criticism or unwarranted scrutiny, the couple seems determined to retain their voice and platform—no matter the cost.
