Following the removal of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s names from the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust’s official website, the charity for which they were appointed representatives by Queen Elizabeth II during their tenure as royals, King Charles III announced that the royal family will continue without them.
Many people have viewed the removal of their names as a slur to the royal family and evidence that the new monarch has severed all relations with them.
This choice is thought to have been taken in response to the scathing criticism Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have leveled recently against the British monarchy. The royal family has made steps to separate themselves from them even if they haven’t publicly defended them or released a statement to dispute them.
Given that both Meghan Markle and Prince Harry had served in executive capacities for the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust, the removal of their names from the organization is extremely noteworthy. Additionally, it was said that Queen Elizabeth II was extremely proud of the job the pair had accomplished at the facility.
Harry and Meghan Markle have yet to get an invitation to Charles III’s coronation, thus this is unknown. Many believe it is doubtful that they will be invited given the royal family’s displeasure with Harry’s remarks in his interview with Oprah Winfrey and the documentary the couple created for Netflix.
In any case, it is obvious that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the royal family continue to have a poor relationship, and King Charles III’s decision to have their names removed from the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust is a further indication of the gap between them.
