Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are facing fresh criticism over their children’s royal titles, with detractors accusing the couple of sending mixed signals about their relationship with the monarchy. The backlash centers on claims that they want their children to keep royal status even after stepping back from official duties.
The issue has revived a long-running debate around the Duke and Duchess of Sussex since their departure from royal life in Britain. Their exit came after years of heavy media attention, and the couple later relocated to California, where they began building a new public and commercial profile.
Critics argue that embracing independence while still benefiting from royal links creates an appearance of contradiction. Supporters, however, have long maintained that family titles and personal decisions about public life are not necessarily the same thing.
The renewed dispute shows how Harry and Meghan remain closely tied to royal headlines despite living outside the UK and no longer serving as working royals. Questions over titles, public image and their connection to the Royal Family continue to fuel intense interest in the Sussexes.
