Royal concerns raised after Sussex crowned monogram appears amid talk of overseas visits
Renewed questions about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s public use of royal branding have resurfaced after a letter carrying their crowned monogram appeared online, reigniting debate about how Prince Harry and Meghan Markle present their status following their departure as senior working royals.
The letter, shared and later deleted by Australian psychologist Angela Pearl, thanked her for involvement in an unspecified event and referenced hopes of returning to Australia, Express reported.
The report said the development has fed concerns in royal circles about plans for further high-profile overseas trips in 2026 and 2027 that critics have labelled “faux royal tours”, alongside commercial ventures that continue to feature the Sussex title prominently. It also referenced claims attributed to “insiders” that the couple have spoken about a potential Australia return as part of a wider schedule of international visits.
Any renewed scrutiny of titles and royal-style branding follows previous claims about behind-the-scenes discussions, including suggestions that Meghan Markle reportedly ‘wrote to King Charles’ over royal rules as the Sussexes navigated post-royal arrangements.
While no official programme of visits has been announced, the reappearance of the monogrammed letter has underlined the sensitivity around how royal symbols are used, and how such moments can quickly prompt fresh questions about the couple’s long-term relationship with the institution.
