Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s preference for formal titles among their staff has once again come under scrutiny following fresh claims in a recent Vanity Fair feature.
The article, which explores the Sussexes’ lives five years after stepping back from royal duties, has sparked online debate with allegations about their work environment.
According to the report, individuals involved in Meghan’s Spotify podcast Archetypes and Harry’s book tour were reportedly instructed to address them as “sir” and “ma’am,” despite their non-royal status.
However, this practice was allegedly abandoned after one staff member resisted. Others interviewed suggested they were encouraged to use their first names instead.
This isn’t the first time such claims have surfaced. In 2024, the CEO of the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025 disclosed that he was given guidance on how to formally address the Duke and Duchess.
The contrasting accounts continue to add to the intrigue surrounding the Sussexes’ post-royal lives and professional dynamics.
