Undeterred by the ongoing furor sparked by her disclosure of a personal letter addressed to the Sussexes as 'Your Royal Highness,' Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, chose to focus her energies elsewhere. Specifically, she shone the spotlight on the outpouring of affection and newly bestowed titles she received amidst the release of the second episode of her podcast, "Confessions of a Female Founder."
On her official Instagram account, Meghan shared heartwarming messages from her fans, one of whom hailed the mother of Archie and Lilibet as a "powerful woman." This well-wisher, a former admirer of her royal duties, penned, "I listened to your podcast, and you are the most powerful woman I have ever seen. You are inspiring me to make positive changes in my life. Love you, Meghan."
For those unaware, Meghan had premiered the first episode of her podcast on April 8th, featuring Whitney Wolfe Herd, the founder of the renowned dating app Bumble. In the most recent episode, she welcomed Reshma Saujani, the founder of non-profit organizations Girls Who Code and Moms First.
It's worth noting that Meghan celebrated the special titles bestowed upon her by her fans, even after stirring controversy by 'flaunting' a royal title, HRH, in a message from Yulia Svyrydenko, the Minister of Economy of Ukraine. Following Harry and Meghan's departure from the royal family, Buckingham Palace made it clear that "The Sussexes will not use their HRH titles as they are no longer working members of the Royal Family."
Addressing the Duchess's actions, royal commentator Kinsey Schofield expressed her outrage over Meghan's 'disrespectful' decision during a conversation with Sky News Australia. She revealed, "I have reliable information that Prince William intends to strip them of their titles, and the Sussexes are seeking reassurance that he won't do so, mindful of how detrimental it would be to their commercial prospects." Notably, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down from their senior royal roles in 2020, resulting in the forfeiture of numerous privileges.
