Exclusive Polls Reveal Meghan Banned from Using Royal Titles in UK and US
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have faced a major setback as exclusive polls conducted by the Sunday Express in both the UK and the US reveal that they should no longer use their royal titles to promote their business ventures or express their political views.
The surveys also indicate a significant drop in Meghan's popularity on both sides of the Atlantic.
These findings come in the wake of Meghan's recent apology to the Court of Appeal, where she admitted to collaborating with the authors of the controversial biography, Finding Freedom.
Shocking email disclosures further revealed her awareness that a letter to her father could potentially be leaked.
In response to Meghan's apology, a source close to the couple stated that this incident highlights why they prefer to avoid legal action.
As reported by a newspaper, the aide expressed, “Perhaps this gives them an understanding of why the royals don't like to get into court cases.
It's not like this wasn't going to happen.
There is no gleeful dancing about it, nobody is wearing the ‘told you so' t-shirt; they are family members.”
Meghan has also faced criticism for utilizing her royal title to make cold calls to US politicians, advocating for federal paid parental leave.
However, the question remains: should the Duke and Duchess of Sussex continue using their royal titles for business or political purposes?
According to the polls, 73% of respondents in the UK and 59% in the US believe they should refrain from doing so.
Furthermore, the survey asked participants if their opinion of Meghan Markle had changed in light of the recent court revelations.
In the UK, 29% stated that their opinion had diminished, while 62% claimed their perception remained unchanged.
In the US, 20% admitted to thinking less of her now.
When asked whether the couple should be stripped of their Duke and Duchess titles, opinions were divided among the British public.
Nearly half, 48%, believed that the couple should lose their titles, while in the US, where they currently reside with their children Archie, 2, and Lilibet, 5 months, only a third, 33%, shared the same sentiment.
These poll results come after a week of legal turmoil for Meghan in her privacy case against the Mail on Sunday newspaper.
The Duchess was compelled to apologize for failing to disclose her collaboration with the authors of Finding Freedom during an earlier hearing.
Additionally, previously unseen text messages between Meghan and former top Kensington Palace aide Jason Canalf emerged, revealing her acknowledgment that her letter to her estranged father, Thomas Markle, which is the subject of the newspaper's legal appeal, could potentially become public.
In court documents released on Friday, it was disclosed that Prince Harry had endured constant criticism from Prince Charles regarding Meghan's strained relationship with her father and their dealings with the media.
Amidst these legal battles, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made a visit to Task Force Liberty in New Jersey, where they spent time singing with Afghan refugee children who are learning English.
The visit, which coincided with Veterans Day, saw Meghan and Prince Harry engage with service members from all six branches of the military.
They also conversed with women who had recently arrived at Task Force Liberty, which currently houses over 10,000 Afghan refugees.
The couple even led a rendition of the popular nursery rhyme “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes,” a favorite of their son Archie, as they interacted with children in a classroom.
Harry and Meghan's personal connection to the song resonated with the children, who appreciated their involvement.
The couple went above and beyond, engaging with the children individually and even learning phrases in Dari, the most widely spoken language in Afghanistan.
Their interactions left both children and adults saying “Tashakoo,” which means thank you in Dari.
