It sparked debate for a number of reasons, including her being formally announced by her royal title to the interviewer.<\/p>\n<p>Meghan met with Harper\u2019s Bazaar\u2019s Kaitlyn Greenidge for an interview at one of her friends&#8217; homes in New York.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Greenidge wrote of their encounter: \u201cWe\u2019re in a grand brownstone on the Upper East Side that belongs to one of Meghan\u2019s friends. When I enter, the house manager announces, \u2018Meghan, Duchess of Sussex,\u2019 even though we appear to be the only other two people in the house.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although the Duke and Duchess of Sussex still retain their royal titles and HRH style, they do not use the latter in a comercial context.<\/p>\n<p>Renae Smith, founder and director of <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/theatticism.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Atticism<\/a>, told the Express: \u201cFrom a PR perspective, it is such a bad idea.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is confusing, it is provocative in the wrong way and it puts her straight back beneath the royal shadow she always bloody insists she wants to get away from.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not hard to avoid anything royal. But she can&#8217;t go two weeks without doing something linked back to the Royal Family!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI guess Harry might love it. I would assume she checked with him first, and he probably told her it was lovely.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meghan was recently slammed for clinging on to her royal links after an interview with Harper\u2019s Bazaar.
