Los Angeles, April 16, 2025 – Despite facing ongoing backlash over the use of the title “Your Royal Highness” in a recent letter, Meghan Markle appeared unbothered and instead chose to shine a spotlight on the admiration she’s receiving from fans around the world.
In a bold move that reignited the debate around royal titles, Meghan released a personal message in which she and Prince Harry were addressed as “Your Royal Highness.” The letter, reportedly from Ukraine’s Minister of Economy Yulia Svyrydenko, has stirred significant media attention, given the couple’s previous agreement with Buckingham Palace to no longer use their HRH titles following their royal exit in 2020.
But rather than respond to the criticism, Meghan focused her attention on celebrating her latest venture—a podcast titled Confessions of a Female Founder. The Duchess of Sussex recently shared fan messages on Instagram praising her for the empowering content. One supporter called her a “powerful woman” and said that Meghan’s words were inspiring enough to prompt changes in their own life.
“I listened to your podcast, you are the most powerful woman I have seen. You are inspiring me to make some changes in my life. Love you, Meghan,” the fan wrote.
The second episode of the podcast, which recently dropped, features Meghan in conversation with Reshma Saujani, founder of Girls Who Code and Moms First. The first episode, released on April 8, included Bumble’s founder Whitney Wolfe Herd.
While royal commentator Kinsey Schofield labeled Meghan’s HRH usage as “disrespectful” during a discussion on Sky News Australia, Meghan has remained silent on the criticism, choosing instead to engage with supporters and celebrate the positive reception of her podcast and public initiatives.
As the controversy continues to swirl, one thing is clear: Meghan Markle is determined to control her narrative, one episode—and title—at a time.
