Meghan Markle backlash as she appears to break key part of Sandringham Summit agreement

Meghan Markle has sparked controversy on social media after seemingly violating the terms of the Sandringham Summit. The Duchess of Sussex, along with her spouse Prince Harry , made headlines in 2020 when they decided to step back from their roles as senior working royals, an event not witnessed since King Edward VIII's abdication in 1936.

However, a crisis meeting with the late monarch, the then- Prince Charles , and Prince William concluded that such a role was not feasible. During the pivotal 90-minute discussion, Meghan and Harry were allowed to keep their HRH titles but agreed not to actively use them. Yet, the 43 year old Duchess seems to have reneged on this agreement.

A new podcast revealed an image of the present Meghan sent, inscribed with: "with compliments of HRH The Duchess of Sussex." The gift, which included homemade strawberry sauce and ice cream, was delivered to podcast host Jamie Kern Lima over a year ago.

While no official laws were enacted during the Sandringham Summit, both Harry and Meghan publicly declared their intention not to use their HRH titles. They stated on their official website at the time: "As agreed and set out in January, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will retain their 'HRH' prefix, thereby formally remaining known as His Royal Highness The Duke of Sussex and Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex." "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will no longer actively use their HRH titles as they will no longer be working members of the family as of Spring 2020.

Since the image surfaced online, Meghan has faced criticism. One social media user shared the image and commented: " Meghan Markle proving yet again the distain she has for Queen Elizabeth, by signing a note with a HRH, something she was not supposed to do after leaving the royal family.

Charles needs to stop letting this nonsense go and act." Another added: "Imagine hating the royal family, dishing on senior royals and trashing the British monarchy at every opportunity..

. But then demand to be addressed with the titles given to you by the same royal family you hate and keep dining on." Meanwhile, a third shared a clip from Meghan's Netflix series with Prince Harry , showing the Duchess performing a "medieval" curtsy.

" Meghan Markle can claim she is nice and has nothing to prove but Meghan will never recover from this," an insider remarked. This revelation follows Meghan's comments on a podcast where she expressed delight in experiencing a renewed 'honeymoon' phase with Prince Harry , attributing it to the couple gaining "a little bit of breathing space" after their Royal exit. Meghan recounted on the podcast how their early relationship was challenged by intense media scrutiny, saying they were thrust into "the trenches" shortly after they started dating.

The duo began their romance in 2016, wed in 2018, and performed numerous Royal engagements before stepping back from their Royal roles. During her podcast appearance, the Duchess shared: "You have to imagine at the beginning, everyone has, like, butterflies. Then we immediately went into the trenches together.

Yeah, 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, and that's why I feel like it's more of a honeymoon period for us now." Meghan explained, also commending Harry for ensuring the family's safety.

When contacted, Buckingham Palace offered no comment on the matter, as reported by the Mirror..
