TalkRADIO host Mike Graham was discussing the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s decision to move to North America with royal expert Ingrid Seward. Ms Seward stated that although the move was motivated by getting away from the press they will in fact “get away from the Royal Family” as a result. The royal expert also questioned whether “jealousies” played a part in Meghan and Harry’s decision to step down from the Royal Family.      

Mr Graham said: “They have gone to North America on the basis that they want to get out of the limelight but they haven’t really managed to stay out of it?”

Ms Seward replied: “Oh Absolutely not, everything they do will be monitored, they are certainly not going to get away from the press.

“What they are going to get away from is the Royal Family and this is a slightly grey area that is difficult to understand.

“What is it about the Royal Family that they are so very upset with?

“I wish I could ask them, I think this is what everybody wants to know.

“What is it that has driven them out?

“What jealousies?

“They have spoken about all these things. 

“It is still a grey area and it has been a very difficult time for them.”

Yesterday royal historian Dr Anna Whitlock told talkRADIO’s Mike Graham Meghan Markle and Prince Harry attempted to “cash in on the royal brand” despite deciding to “check out” of the Royal Family.

The talkRADIO host asked: “The Queen has banned Harry and Meghan from using Sussex Royal as a brand name, this is quite a blow for them isn’t it?”

Dr Whitlock replied: “It is and I think it is something that they wouldn’t have seen coming.

“They went large on the launch of Sussex Royal, brands, the website, their Instagram feed and were very much hoping to check out of the royal family but potentially cash in on the royal brand.

“But the Queen and Buckingham Palace have made it absolutely clear that it is not going to be an option for them.”

Mr Graham said: “I said this would have to happen when they decided to take their leave of the Royal Family and disappear off to Canada.

“There were two things that I said, one I don’t think they will be back and two I can’t really see how it is possible for the Royal Family to allow them to use this brand name because it is effectively capitalising on being part of the royal family which they have just left.”

Dr Whitlock responded: “Yeah I think that is absolutely right, although they may not have been about to endorse certain products with the royal brand certainly when they speak out or make certain statements on their website it was under the umbrella of Sussex Royal.

“That is just simply not a sustainable thing, the royal brand and the royal trademark is something particularly prized and precious.

“This, as you say, was seen as a sort of corruption of that brand and it risks commercialisation of it.”
