AceShowbiz - Meghan Markle has once again found herself at the center of a royal controversy, this time over the use of her HRH (Her Royal Highness) title. Following her and Prince Harry's high-profile exit from royal duties in 2020, the couple agreed not to use their HRH titles.

However, a recent revelation has prompted questions and criticisms regarding Meghan's adherence to this agreement. The controversy ignited when a video surfaced on Jamie Kern Lima's podcast, showcasing a gift basket from Meghan that included jars of her homemade strawberry preserve and ice cream.

Accompanying the gift was a note reading, "With Compliments of HRH The Duchess of Sussex." The gift, sent a year ago, was meant to cheer up Lima during a stressful time.

Sources close to Meghan have denied any wrongdoing, stating that the use of the HRH title was private and not for public purposes. Insiders emphasized that neither Meghan nor Prince Harry uses the title in commercial contexts, aligning with their agreement with the late Queen Elizabeth II.

Critics argue that even in a private setting, the HRH title's use could be seen as a breach of royal protocol, especially given that equivalent high-profile figures such as Prince Andrew also refrain from employing their HRH titles officially.

The controversy came following Meghan's interview with Jamie Kern Lima. The Duchess of Sussex talked about her marriage to Prince Harry, heaping praise on her husband for his constant protection during their time as working royals and after their controversial exit.

"I always think about it like the end of Super Mario Bros," she said. "When you get to the final final level and they say, 'Slay the dragon, save the princess.' I'm like, that's my husband. He's constantly going to do whatever he can to make sure that our family is safe and protected, and we're uplifted and still make time for date nights."
