Meghan Markle Faces Scrutiny Over HRH Title Use and Shares Personal Insights

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has found herself at the center of controversy after allegedly using her "HRH" (Her Royal Highness) title on a gift note to entrepreneur and podcast host Jamie Kern Lima. The incident has sparked debate about adherence to the 2020 agreement made with Queen Elizabeth II when Meghan and Prince Harry stepped back from royal duties.

During Lima's podcast, it was revealed that Meghan had included a note with her HRH title in a gift basket, prompting speculation about whether this violates the terms agreed upon with the Royal Family. According to reports, the couple were permitted to retain but not actively use their HRH titles after stepping back as working royals.

A spokesperson for the Duchess has denied claims that she used the title for commercial gain, as the controversy continues to highlight the ongoing scrutiny over how the Sussexes use their royal connections.

In the same podcast appearance, Meghan shared personal details about her parenting approach, revealing that she emails her children Archie and Lilibet "almost every night" with photos to create a virtual scrapbook of their lives. "I email our children almost every night with little videos or snippets or moments from their day," Meghan explained on The Jamie Kern Lima Show.

Meghan also opened up about challenges she faced in her acting career before joining the Royal Family, stating she was "rejected constantly for having freckles and being mixed race" during her early years in the entertainment industry.

A body language expert analyzing Meghan's podcast appearance suggested her demeanor indicated she is "incredibly busy," potentially too busy for royal life, further fueling speculation about her current lifestyle following the couple's relocation to the United States.
