Royal shock: Queen’s eldest grandson cashes in on ‘Megxit’ with bizarre milk advert

His appearance comes amid rumours that the Royal Family will step in to prevent Meghan and Prince Harry from exploiting their royal titles to promote products such as “margarine”. Both Mr. Phillips, and his sister Zara, have never had an HRH title before and there have been questions as to how the siblings make their money according to the MailOnline. In the advert, the grandson of the Queen can be seen clutching a glass of milk outside of a green-screened ‘Longleat House’ with wording underneath that says “British Royal Family member Peter Phillips.”

A spokesman for Longleat House, the Wiltshire property used in the commercial, said permission had not been granted.

The fresh revelation will heighten the ongoing row around how the royals are able to generate personal income.

The Sussex’s have been rumoured to potentially be in talks with both Disney and Netflix to sign a million dollar contract as they scramble to make their own independent income.

Mr. Phillips, the first cousin of William and Harry has previously sold photos of his wedding to Hello! magazine and also had meetings to launch a horse-racing club in Hong Kong.

Accompanying the advert is a one-and-a-half-minute video in English, which appears to show Mr. Phillips making the ad and explaining his role.

“Hello, my name is Peter Phillips,” he begins. If Chinese viewers do not recognise him, the next scene shows the Queen’s golden landau trundling into view.

Mr. Phillips expresses his love of ‘sampling other cultures’, before telling viewers: ‘As children, we used to spend a lot of time down at the dairy. There was a herd of Jersey cattle at Windsor and we were brought up on it.

‘And it was always much fuller of flavour, much creamier, than other milks that we had growing up. That has something to do with the way the cows are bred.’

He says the ‘well looked after’ cows ‘do produce fantastic milk’, as the camera shows him taking appreciative sips from a glass and nodding contentedly.

When asked for a statement, Buckingham Palace declined to comment.

Sources told The Mail that Mr. Phillips is not a working member of the royal family and that the word ‘royal’ would not have been used.

However, the Chinese advert does, in fact, describe him as “British royal family member Peter Phillips’.
