- However, Richard Fitzwilliams, a royal commentator, told Insider that the couple still have the right to wear the crown because Harry is the heir’s apparent son.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been criticized for continuing to wear a crown logo after leaving the royal family.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been wearing the crown as part of their monogram since they got married in 2018, and it has stayed on their website, sussexroyal.com, since they announced plans to resign in January 2020.
However, criticism only emerged last week, when the charity Street Games published a letter sent by Harry and Markle with the monogram on Twitter.

“I still wear the logo! What don’t you understand about your departure from Royal Life? Do you still want the benefits without any work?” one person wrote on Twitter in response to the letter.
Another person wrote, “If you want to go, go,” while another said, “Harry walked away from everything real, which includes the crown logo. Meghan was never real.”
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams said the couple has the right to continue to wear the crown logo because Harry is the son of the apparent heir, Prince Charles.
“I think the use of sussexroyal.com, which remains the link to their website, is because they have not yet been able to launch their charitable non-profit organization Archewell due to the pandemic,” said Fitzwilliams, former editor. from “The International Who’s Who,” Insider said.
“They have the right to wear the crown as Harry is the son of an apparent heir and Meghan was also assigned a crown for her marriage,” he said.
The couple announced that they would no longer use the Sussex Royal name as part of their brand after resigning from their job roles earlier this year. However, it was not mentioned whether its official logo would change in the future.
It is not unusual for non-working royalty to wear crowns in their monograms, as noted by a real observer on Twitter.

Prince Harry’s cousin, Princess Eugenie, and her husband Jack Brooksbank have never worked for royalty, but they also wear a crown logo, and Eugenie has retained her SAR title, unlike Harry and Markle.
Eugenia’s sister Princess Beatriz and her fiance, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, also wear a crown logo.
