Meghan Markle and Prince Harry‘s continued use of their royal titles is “displeasing” to King Charles, a commentator has suggested.

Tom Quinn, author of Gilded Youth: An Intimate History of Growing Up in the Royal Family, claims the King is not happy that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex move in celebrity circles while clinging onto their status as royals.

He said: “The whole emphasis between King Charles and Prince William is that you cannot go against the late Queen’s firm belief that you can’t be a part-time royal.

“You can’t hobnob with celebrities in America for six months and then come back here and pick and choose which events you want to be part of – it is untenable.

“I don’t think Charles and William will agree to that simply because Elizabeth hated the idea.”

In Her Late Majesty’s statement announcing Harry and Meghan were to step back from royal duties, Elizabeth II said while the Windsors would have preferred the Sussexes to remain “full-time working members”, she respected their wish for independence.
