They have plenty too choose from. They could use Mountbatten Windsor (which is their legal surname if I recall correct) or maybe still plainly Wales. A Dukedom, which is nothing more than a symbolic title that only has significance inside the BRF, isn't necessary. Princess Anne doesn't have one, and she and her family do just fine.<br />Harry got the title as a gift for his marriage, so of course he and Meghan are entitled to use it. But that is not the point of the criticism. People seem to missunderstand that.<br />Harry and Meghan have made strong remarks against the institution of the BRF. They have criticised the structure, the hirachy, certain offices and members (staff as well as family). In the end they decided to leave the official part of the institution because they didn't like what was on offer. People do question why they use the title to promote themsleves if they don't even represent the BRF anymore. And that goes against Harry as well as Meghan. I certainly do. I also think Sarah should stop doing this. This is a general problem the BRF has with ex-working members that are now pursuing different careers. I am pretty sure we will see a change and a new handling in the future.<br />C.C.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523822918879524553.post-7666451830888078502020-08-05T19:42:39.901+01:002020-08-05T19:42:39.901+01:00I love that the Queen birthday wishes to Meghan sa...I love that the Queen birthday wishes to Meghan said "the Queen and The Duchess," reminding everyone that she is STILL a member of the Royal Family.

The Duchess of Sussex has the right to continue using her title that is her marriage name, and she is still married. Even divorced royal women kept their marriage titles, eg. Diana Princess of Wales, and Sarah Duchess of York. So her marriage to Prince Harry elevated her profile; the same can be said of all the other married/divorced royal wives.<br />Also, Mrs. Michele Obama uses her married name, and so does Mrs. Hillary Clinton. Their marriages US Presidents also elevated their profiles, and that doesn’t reduce their accomplishments.<br />What I see is people seem to have a problem with Meghan using her marriage name, and jump to every Meghan thread to derail the conversation.CocoAmbroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13740625689785576986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523822918879524553.post-58562423946695927262020-07-29T07:55:57.092+01:002020-07-29T07:55:57.092+01:00Very good initiative.

If we dig deep into various policies, protocols and traditions of the royal family we would see that they only apply to certain people in certain instances but are not enforced across the board.

I voiced my opinion many times back about this motivational speaker venture and how disingenuous it feels in this time (or any other for that matter) that speakers can pull in such high dollars on one hand, then espousing charitable causes on the other. While Meghan is by far the more articulate and can make eloquent speeches, she will need to reign in (no pun intended) her focus to not just speak platitudes, but actual plans to enact them. They (H&M) seem to have crossed over to that Hollywood pesudo culture that believes we want to hear them talk about how to be charitable, while living very privileged lives. I too wonder who IS in the market for global cheerleaders? Meghan's credibility is certainly elevated when she is associated with the likes of Michelle Obama and Hiliary Clinton who certainly have seasoned careers; likening Meghan's role on a television series as an attorney for seven years is not the same level, and many others who actually live their of charitable selflessness without having an article written on them every other hour. Whether anybody wants to admit it, her royal status has elevated her and given her more of a platform, but I think she and Harry are a little enamored of themselves and their popularity. This is not what I would have wished for either of them, and any concerns voiced seem to come from a place similar to a parent who would want to be sure that their child's actions and decisions have been carefully thought out with regard to consequences. Not all differences of opinions are criticisms and many of us are concerned how any of this negative press serves anybody.

She shows up to different charities to help out. She publicizes it. Whether to encourage other folks to support those same charities or to add to her resume and up her profile - what does it matter? <br /><br />I think she and Harry are in a bit of a pickle. They are financed through Charles and at age 71 who knows how long he'll have control of the purse strings. Since they went rogue (in South Africa) and then with their "big announcement" separating from royal duties - they'll not likely ever be offered a role in the UK again. When William inherits the Duchy of Cornwall - he'll have no motivation or obligation to support Harry - he'll be focused on his own progeny. Charles will have the Duchy of Lancaster and the Crown purse - but that is heavily monitored. I hope I live to see who inherits Highgrove. <br /><br />Here's an interesting question - is Harry bright enough to manage finances? He's never had to. He's certainly got charm in spades, but his background is in military and flying. Never went to college. All his housing and expenses paid for. In all his charity work he certainly wasn't the finance guy - he wouldn't have had time with all his moving about from one thing to another. <br /><br />And if you are not dialed in to the highest reaches of UK government and UK Society, what do you bring to the table as a speaker. Your experience in military combat and your experience in acting? Have you just become a novelty for folks with money to splash out? Or are you planning careers in motivational speaking? Who can afford you in this Covid Economy? And what opportunities are there with social distancing taking place? Who is in the market for global cheerleaders?
