Buckingham Palace has yet to officially comment but sources close to the situation say tensions between Meghan and senior members of the royal family like Prince Charles have reached a boiling point. It all stems back to when Meghan and Harry stepped down as senior working royals last year and moved to California.
As part of their exit deal, the Queen agreed to let them keep their royal titles but said they could no longer use their HRH styles or perform royal duties.
However, Meghan has made it clear both publicly and privately that she never wanted to fully give up her royal ties and always planned to still wield influence with her Duchess of Sussex title. But royal aides said having her and Harry tout their royal brand in the US while being financially independent threatened the carefully managed neutrality and unity of the monarchy.
This led to stern warnings from the palace that if they continued to use their titles for commercial gain, they could be stripped of them. And that’s seemingly what’s set Meghan off. Sources say she views any move to revoke her Duchess title as a direct attack on her character and identity.
She’s also still fuming about not getting a title for Archie when he was born since he wouldn’t traditionally have gotten one as she wasn’t married to Harry at the time.
