Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly taking great care to avoid conflict with the royal family through their actions and business ventures. An insider reveals the couple is "cautious about everything they do and say" to uphold certain standards, even after their 2020 exit and public criticisms of 'The Firm'.
Sources state that while they seek creative control in projects, known confines limit their work to prevent upsetting the royals. This caution was highlighted when they asked Kim Kardashian to remove a social photo posted on the UK's Remembrance Day.
Public relations experts note confusion over their loyalty, as their criticisms undercut the royal association that once gave them value. Their unofficial visit to Jordan, described as "DIY royalling," reportedly angered the Palace, with commentators suggesting such independent philanthropic trips could risk their ducal titles.
Royal commentators argue the need for clear lines between the crown and family members, as the Sussexes navigate their complex post-royal public life.
