The article reports that the Duchess of Sussex has been making a concerted push to keep the title active within her brand ahead of possible changes to her formal royal role. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Critics argue that her use of the title breaches the 2020 agreement when she and Prince Harry stepped down from senior royal duties, but royal watchers note that no formal legislative change has yet removed the title altogether. Meghan’s push is viewed as part of her strategy to shape her future brand identity. Whether the monarchy will intervene remains a key question for UK media and royal commentators.
