Royal family reportedly not happy with changes in sussex.com
However, the royal family is reportedly not happy with the changes. A mole said, as per The New York Post, “Buckingham Palace may have its hands tied in taking action. [King Charles] has other things he needs to focus on at the moment, and the last thing His Majesty needs is another fight with his son. But this won’t go down well at all.”
Another one added, “Basically their big rebrand puts being royal first. Ultimately, this is a rebranding for Meghan. They just can’t quite bring themselves to drop all the trappings that come courtesy of the institution they spend their whole time moaning about.”
