Meghan appears to use HRH title in contradiction of past agreement

Meghan appears to use HRH title in contradiction of past agreement

Telegraph28-04-2025

The Duchess of Sussex appears to have used her HRH title despite agreeing that she would not, it has emerged.
Meghan was interviewed by her friend, Jamie Kern Lima, the founder of IT Cosmetics, for a podcast broadcast on YouTube.
During the interview, an image was shown of a 'gift basket' of ice cream and homemade strawberry sauce she had sent to Ms Kern Lima, with an accompanying note printed on monogrammed paper that said: 'With the compliments of HRH The Duchess of Sussex.'
In the interview, Meghan recalls dropping off the basket, suggesting it was after she moved to California.
The Duchess said: 'I knew when I dropped off that strawberry… it wasn't even preserves as it didn't have time to set - I just made it quick because we had a lot of strawberries at the the time - I just knew that even if we never talked about it, that it would brighten your day.'
The use of the title would be in direct contrast to an agreement made by the Duke and Duchess when they stepped back from their public duties.
While the couple kept their titles they were essentially put into abeyance. A statement released by Buckingham Palace in January 2020 said: 'The Sussexes will not use their HRH titles as they are no longer working members of the Royal family.'
A source close to the Sussexes suggested the image may have been old.
This comes after Meghan published an image of a note from Yulia Svyrydenko, Ukraine's vice-prime minister, that addressed her with her HRH title and apparently went uncorrected.
The note began: 'Your Royal Highness, I would like to express my sincere thanks for everything your family is doing for Ukraine.'
Elsewhere in the podcast, the Duchess hinted that she might one day write a memoir.
Asked whether she planned to write another book, she replied: 'Yes maybe, for sure'.
Meghan said she was currently enjoying working in the fields of hospitality and entertaining, and that a book offering tips on the subject 'could be fun', as could another children's book following her first effort; The Bench.
But she did not rule out an autobiography, as she added: 'People are often curious about whether I'd write a memoir but I've got a lot of life to live before I'm there.'
In the interview, the Duchess also became emotional and wiped away tears as she spoke about her love for her children Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three.
Prince Harry 's memoir, Spare, was published in January 2023 and became the fastest-selling non-fiction book ever, with his extraordinary revelations about the Royal family generating headlines around the world.
There has recently been speculation that the Duke could write a second book.
During her time as a working royal, the Duchess wrote the foreword for a cookbook which raised money for the Hubb Community Kitchen following the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire.
The Bench, inspired by a Father's Day poem Meghan wrote for Harry, was published in June 2021 and became a New York Times bestseller.
However, the Duchess hinted during an interview with The Cut magazine in 2022 that nothing was stopping her from writing a book about her experiences within the Royal family.
'I've never had to sign anything that restricts me from talking,' she declared. 'I can talk about my whole experience and make a choice not to.'
Elsewhere in the podcast, she revealed she had set up email addresses for her children and had been sending them secret messages every night so that they could look back on them when they are 16 or 18 and know how much she loved them.
She said of motherhood: 'I really want to be good at it', adding that she hoped her children would grow up to appreciate that 'no one has ever loved someone more than the way our mom loved us'.
The Duchess added: 'Before I go to bed, every night, I email them,' explaining that her messages contained pictures 'you're not going to frame', as well as their report cards and memories.
Meghan also gushed about her husband, calling him a 'fox' and insisting that they would be married 'forever'.
She said he was 'very, very handsome' but that his heart was 'even more beautiful'.
The Duchess insisted that she did not read any press or media about herself or her family.
She said that as such, she considered herself 'a good soundboard' for the Duke as her opinions were formed solely 'through the lens of loving him' and were not coloured by anything else.
She also suggested that their new life together in California was like 'a honeymoon period' after a difficult few years in the UK.
In an apparent dig at the Royal family, she added: 'You have to imagine, at the beginning it's all butterflies – but then we immediately went into the trenches together.
'Right out of the gate, like six months into dating. So now seven years later, when you have a little bit of breathing space, you can just enjoy each other in a new way.'
The Duchess also insisted she would 'never' run for office and was 'not interested' in a political career.
She also described how Gwyneth Paltrow, the actress, had caught her out of the blue amid rumours of an alleged feud.
The speculation was promoted by a video Paltrow posted on Instagram which many interpreted as a thinly veiled dig at the Duchess's Netflix series, With Love, Meghan.
The Duchess claimed she was surprised to receive a call from Paltrow as the internet gossip had not been on her 'radar'.
However, she agreed to take part in a joint video to put the rumours to bed.
'We ordered some pie on insta cart, we ate some pie and then I came home,' she said, adding: 'It really defines the age we are living in right now … that cycle would have kept going they would have found some iteration of this fake conflict.
'There's something really disturbing about the need to pit, especially women, against each other. I'm just glad we got to have some fun with it.'
The Duchess revealed that the next batch of products to be sold through her business, As Ever, would revolve around 'hostess gifts and hospitality'.

Finny, who had more than 3,000 subscribers on YouTube, was live streaming when a man, another content creator, came up to him. At least seven shots were fired in footage shared online. Finny's partner could be heard screaming after the shots, yelling, "Are you f**king kidding me?" before the camera was thrown to the ground. Tributes have been paid to the content creator. Devastated pal Derek Ware described Finny as a "good father" and a "friendly guy." "If something was wrong, he would just always check up on me," he told KVVU-TV. "He's donated to people that needed help online." Ware revealed Finny's partner was known as Bubbly and paid tribute to her "infectious" personality. "She would have fun everywhere she went," he said. Cops revealed that the shooter and one of the victims had an argument on social media before the horror unfolded. Manuel Ruiz, 41, turned himself into police hours after shots were fired on the Las Vegas Strip. "At this point, we believe we have the suspect identified and that this is an isolated incident, knowing that the suspect and the victim had previously engaged in some type of conflict using a variety of social media platforms," cops said at the time. The Bellagio is a luxury five-star resort on the Strip and is known for the famous Fountains of Bellagio attraction. The shooting comes almost eight years after 60 people were killed when Stephen Paddock opened fire at a music festival on the Las Vegas Strip. He fired more than 1,000 rounds from his room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel. More than 800 people were injured. More to follow...

Peppa Pig parents go wild as £39.99 toy is scanning for 10p at local stores – here's exactly where to nab it…

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) IT retails in most shops for £39.99. So you can imagine how thrilled one mum was when she came across the Peppa Pig party bus for just 10p. 3 Parents are racing to B&M to nab this Peppa Pig toy for just 10p Credit: extremecouponingandbargainsuk/facebook 3 It retails for £39.99 elsewhere Credit: extremecouponingandbargainsuk/facebook 3 Annabel's child held on tightly to her new present after leaving the store Credit: extremecouponingandbargainsuk/facebook Annabel was out shopping in her local B&M in Wallsend when she came across the toy. But when she scanned it on the B&M app - the usual way savvy shoppers come across unmarked bargain buys - it didn't come up. It also didn't have a price tag on it, so she decided to go up to the till to ask how much it was. And it was at that point that she discovered it would cost her just 10 pence. "Peppa Pig party bus at B&M scanning for 10p," she wrote alongside pictures of her new purchase on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook. "There was no tag and doesn't scan on the app - says barcode not found. "£39.99 on Amazon and Smyths!" The party bus is a two in one playset that comes with three figures - Peppa, Danny Dog and Candy Cat - and 13 party-themed accessories. "Imagine Peppa and friends going for a rooftop ride in the cheery red double-decker bus, then pop the bus into party playset mode to discover 3 floors of feature-filled fun," a description of the product reads online. "What will the figures do next? How about a dance party using the twirling platforms? Mums issue stark warning about 'dark Peppa Pig' videos going viral on YouTube set out to target and terrify your kids "A spin on the roundabout toy? A ride down the slide? Should the balloons go on the bus, or on top of the jukebox?" And after Annabel shared snaps of her child with their new toy, others took to the comments section to plan their next trip to B&M with friends. "OMG!" one wrote. "Why not in the Dundee ones?" another sighed, tagging a mate. "Someone buy me one and stick on Vinted for me to buy for a couple of quid lol," a third commented. "Can't find none near me!" Peppa Pig legacy PEPPA Pig first aired in 2004 and has since been broadcast in 180 territories and translated into 40 languages. Now it's spawned books, toys and even two theme parks, with the global Peppa empire now worth over £1billion. Creators Neville Astley and Mark Baker admitted they were initially worried the idea would never get off the ground, and that people at first, were bored of the idea. Astley explained: "People in the pub would ask us, 'What are you drawing?' We'd say, 'A pig, called Peppa, it's going to be big'. 'They'd lose interest and wander off." "Wow, as if," someone else added. "When they don't scan on the app, that's how you know it's deffo 10p," another wrote. "As soon as I'm back we're off out," someone else said, again tagging a friend. "Amazing find," another smiled.
