Meghan Markle and Prince Harry made big moves last year in regards to their commercial ventures in America. By the end of 2020, the couple unveiled the official website of their Archewell Foundation, which branches out to several other smaller businesses.
This revelation has led to many positive reports of the couple all over newspapers and online outlets. But one headline caught the eye of the palace.
The article, which claims that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ‘have changed the Royal Family,’ has irked the Palace as this makes the working royals look bad.
One of the most trusted advisors of the Queen has allegedly issued a warning to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex with the comments and the actions they are taking in the United States.
Thomas Woodcock, one of the most senior advisors of the Queen, made a comment regarding the Sussex’s and their commercial ventures.
Woodcock is no stranger to going head to head with Prince Harry as he was one of the people who were against the request of the Duke and Duchess to use their brand ‘SussexRoyal’ even though they were no longer serving the crown.
He was also reported to be present during the negotiations in Sandringham Summit, which saw the suspension of the Sussex’s ‘HRH’ title and Prince Harry’s honorary military roles.
An insider shared that Woodcock told Prince Harry that he is either a ‘royal or not.’ Woodcock was apparently afraid that keeping their original brand would help aide Harry and Meghan in becoming ‘financially independent.’
Unfortunately for Woodcock, the couple found major success for themselves and their new brand ‘Archewell’ in the USA.
Whether Woodcock will help the Queen and other senior royal members on the 12-month review of Prince Harry’s deal with the royal family happening this year is unsure.
Regarding the review, it was reported over the week that Prince Harry and Meghan requested that it be moved later in the year as they want to be present in person during the renegotiations.
The American-based Duke and Duchess will also attend a court hearing for their lawsuit filed against UK Associated Press. This will see Meghan Markle come face to face with her estranged father.
Harry and Meghan are preparing for a big year; they will not only face personal problems with family, but they also have a lot of ironing to do with Archewell Foundation.
