@CurlewKate "It’s not complicated. It’s either OK to monetize your name or it isn’t. Provided there is no fraud or deception, it’s possible to make a valid argument either way. "
I agree . Of course lots of people monetise their name . To me though , there is a difference between Duchy Jam / teapots and money not being personally trousered and eg Beckham aftershave (if there is such a thing) . Also ( and I do not know the exact terms of this ) using "The Duchess of Sussex" to promote brands / tv series etc seems close to the wind as far as what I understand the spirit of the Sandringham summit was. But I don't know those terms. I suspect no-one does. I also suspect HLMTQ was more exercised about using HRH than the titles.
Personally I think Meghan is famous enough in her own right ( because of her marriage) to just sell things under "Meghan". And fill your boots I say. Using the titles when they have made something of a living from criticising the RF sits uncomfortably with me. But really , they are becoming so detached from the UK RF it almost doesn't matter any more.
