Royal Name Game: Harry and Meghan's Bid to Adopt 'Spencer' Amid Passport Frustration
The Royal Scandal: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Passport Drama Revealed
In a shocking exposé, The Scholarly Note has uncovered a stunning tale of royal intrigue, involving none other than Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle. It appears that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were at odds with their grandfather, King Charles, over the use of their children's HRH titles on their British passports.
According to sources close to the couple, the Queen's grandchildren were furious when they discovered that their passport applications had been mysteriously held up for months. The delay was allegedly due to a disagreement over the inclusion of the HRH title on the documents.
The Sussexes, who are known for their love of all things royal, were said to be "exasperated" by the situation and suspected that it was King Charles who was behind the hold-up. Insiders claim that Harry had been pushing for his children's passports to include their HRH titles, as he wanted them to have the opportunity to become working royals in the future.
However, a Buckingham Palace spokesperson has vehemently denied any involvement from the King or his staff in blocking the passport applications. But The Scholarly Note's sources paint a different picture, suggesting that there was indeed "clear reluctance" to issue passports with the HRH titles.
The drama began when Harry and Meghan's initial standard applications were cancelled after three months, despite the average wait time for a UK passport being just three weeks. The couple then reapplied using the 24-hour passport service, but their online meeting to fast-track the applications was mysteriously cancelled at the last minute due to a "systems failure."
It wasn't until Harry and Meghan's lawyers threatened to pursue a data subject access request that their passports were finally issued – with HRH titles and their new surname, Sussex.
But this is not just any ordinary passport drama. The use of HRH titles has been highly contentious since the Sussexes left their royal duties behind and moved to the US. Insiders claim that Meghan Markle had reassured Queen Elizabeth II that they would stop using the title after their departure, but it appears that they have been continuing to use it in secret.
The controversy has sparked debate about whether Harry and Meghan are flouting their Megxit deal with the late monarch. A spokesman for the Sussexes insists that they do not use HRH titles for commercial purposes, but sources close to the couple suggest that this may be a convenient excuse to cover up their true intentions.
Meanwhile, it's been revealed that Prince Harry sought advice from Princess Diana's brother, Earl Spencer, about changing their family name to Spencer. Sources claim that the Duke of Sussex actively explored ways to assume his mother's surname – a move that would have involved ditching Mountbatten-Windsor, used by his children, Archie and Lilibet.
While it appears that Harry ultimately decided against the name change, the fact that he consulted with Earl Spencer has raised eyebrows. It's been suggested that this move was motivated by Harry's desire to pay tribute to his late mother, but also to distance himself from his family – a move that would have undoubtedly dismayed his brother and father.
As for Meghan Markle, it's clear that she is determined to forge her own path in the world of royalty. Despite denying any wrongdoing, sources close to the couple suggest that she may be using her HRH title for commercial gain – a claim that has sparked outrage among royal watchers.
In the end, it seems that the drama surrounding Harry and Meghan's passport applications is just the tip of the iceberg. As we continue to uncover more secrets about their decision-making process, one thing is clear: the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are determined to make their mark on the world – no matter what the cost to their royal reputation.
