Royal family 'watching very closely' Prince Harry, Meghan Markle's next move

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle's new website 'causing trouble' at Buckingham Palace

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle shocked the world as they quietly relaunched their Sussex brand with a new website using their royal titles.

While the couple stepped down from their senior working positions in 2020, they launched the 'Office of Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex' which apparently sent Buckingham Palace into a frenzy.

Royal commentator Michael Cole suggested during a debate on Talk TV that the website was not well received by the palace for a number of reasons.

"The first thing about it is that it is illegal to use a royal title or the name of a royal residence for commercial purposes," Cole pointed out.

He explained that while he intended to "retain the honorific titles Her Royal Highness, His Royal Highness", he did not intend to "use them for any purpose". HRH is considered "huge" in royal circles.

"It must have gone down very badly at Buckingham Palace," he said. "We are not sure how they intend to use this new website but it will be watched very closely as any attempt to use it for commercial purposes in this country will definitely be rejected.

It's definitely not just on and it's not what you do," he added.

It remains to be seen what the palace will do in response to the Sussexes website.
