Prince William is not a fan of Meghan Markle; nor is he a fan of how she and Prince Harry continue to use their royal titles, some of which were taken away by King Charles after they stepped down as senior royals in 2020.
The former Suits actress not only continues to use her Duchess of Sussex title, which was given to her by the late Queen Elizabeth II when she married Prince Harry in 2018 and has not yet been taken away, but she seems to still use her ‘Her Royal Highness’ title, which she was stripped of. And Prince William is said to be “livid” about it!

Meghan Markle Still Appears To Be Using The 'HRH' Title She Was Stripped Of
Prince Harry and Meghan had their HRH titles taken away because only working/senior members of the royal family are entitled to use them. Prince Harry and Meghan reportedly promised the late Queen Elizabeth II that they would drop the His/Her Royal Highness titles, with Buckingham Palace announcing at the time: "The Sussexes will not use their HRH titles as they are no longer working members of the royal family."
It didn't seem like Meghan was actually using it, until a picture of a gift basket she previously gave IT Cosmetics founder Jamie Kern Lima was featured on the recent podcast she appeared on.
The gift basket contained treats such as organic ice cream and homemade strawberry sauce, and the gift tag read: "With the compliments of HRH The Duchess of Sussex." And Prince William, as per RadarOnline, believes Meghan has "betrayed" his late grandmother by breaking her promise and using the title to promote herself.
Prince William Was 'Livid' When He Discovered Meghan Markle Was Still Using The Title After She Promised The Queen She Wouldn't
"The apparent breach of the deal is what left Harry's estranged brother, Prince William, incensed. To say he was upset by Meghan's continued use of HRH would be an understatement," a source reportedly told RadarOnline, adding: "He was livid."
The source went on to say that Prince William has "vowed" to do what his father, King Charles, has failed to do and "settle the matter for good by stripping them of their titles" when he finally takes the throne. Yikes!
The source went on to say that it would be the ultimate "revenge," and added: "He's long believed it should have been done when Harry and Meghan first announced they were leaving."
