Meghan Markle Is Enjoying Her 'Concert Era' Amid Public Outcry Over HRH Title

Meghan Markle seems unbothered about the drama in her life, and Prince Harry is happily riding along.

The royal couple has been on a concert-crashing streak, with their latest one being a night out at a James Taylor concert in California, days after attending a Beyoncé show in Los Angeles.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are currently the subject of a public backlash, fervently demanding they lose their coveted "HRH" title since they left their royal duties behind in the UK for good.

Meghan joyfully embraced what she describes as her "concert era," sharing a delightful glimpse into her recent outing with Prince Harry at a James Taylor concert in Santa Barbara, California. 

Through a series of Instagram photos, she captured memorable moments from the evening, including one where she smiled joyfully as Taylor signed copies of his pop-up book, "Sweet Baby James."

Another picture featured Markle linking arms with her husband and the legendary musician for a group shot, showcasing their camaraderie. The concert also had a special moment where Taylor was seen performing on stage.

In her post, the mom-of-two expressed her excitement with the caption while thanking Taylor for the experience. She dressed casually in a navy blue sweater, while Harry opted for a tweed jacket and gray beanie. Taylor went with a simple blue shirt and a newsboy cap.

Page Six shared that last week, the couple enjoyed a musical outing at Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" show in Los Angeles.

During their date night at SoFi Stadium, they shared sweet moments, including Harry leaning in to kiss Meghan on the cheek while she cuddled with him. They also wore a cowboy hat adorned with their children's names, Archie and Lili. 

Meghan showcased her style in a denim off-the-shoulder dress, while Harry complemented her look in a rugged snap-button jacket and a black T-shirt. Meghan shared a post on Instagram from their night out, expressing gratitude for the concert and calling it a fun date night. 

This is not the first time they've attended a Beyoncé concert since marrying in 2018 and relocating to Montecito, California, after stepping back from royal duties in 2020. 

Their previous outing at a Beyoncé performance last September saw Harry captured on camera while dancing to "Crazy in Love" from a private suite.

As shared by The Blast, Prince Harry and Meghan are currently facing an increasing push for the removal of their HRH titles, but insiders suggest such action is unlikely. 

The growing public frustration in the UK regarding the couple's use of royal titles and their requests for taxpayer-funded security, despite stepping back from royal duties, has fueled this discourse.

While speculation surrounds whether Prince William might take action when he ascends to the throne, royal experts, including family friend Hugo Vickers, believe it would be seen as vindictive for him to strip Harry and Meghan of their titles. 

Another insider has remarked that these titles have become "irrelevant and meaningless," with many now viewing the Sussexes as detached from the royal family.

Reports also indicate that Harry and William have not communicated in nearly two years, and some royal insiders even question whether Harry will receive an invitation to William's future coronation.

Vickers noted that there is no official protocol requiring William to invite his brother, referencing the notable exclusion of the Duke of Windsor during Queen Elizabeth II 1953 coronation.

Public backlash arose after it was revealed that Meghan had occasionally used her HRH title in private contexts, such as in a personal note attached to a gift basket. 

The note, which read "With Compliments of HRH The Duchess of Sussex," came to light when her friend Jamie Kern Lima shared it publicly. Although the note was over a year old, it reignited discussions about the Sussexes' relationship with their royal titles. 

Observers questioned whether Meghan's use of "HRH" violated the terms of their 2020 agreement with the late Queen Elizabeth II, which permitted them to retain their titles but not use them actively after stepping back from royal duties. 

However, sources close to Meghan argued that the note was intended for private use and never meant for public display, emphasizing that neither Meghan nor Harry has utilized their titles for commercial or public benefit.

The British public's anger with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stemmed from many feeling they no longer deserve their royal titles. 

A heightened frustration is also evident over their continued association with the monarchy, particularly regarding concerns that UK taxpayers might still be responsible for funding their security.

One irate citizen expressed disbelief at the notion of the public covering their expenses, stating, "He chose to leave. Simple. Want security? Should've stayed." Another voiced a sentiment shared by many: "Enough is enough."

A recent survey even revealed that an overwhelming 97% of 4,500 participants believe King Charles should revoke Harry's title, reflecting a notable decline in support for the couple throughout the UK.

Harry believes his ongoing dispute over personal security could have been resolved if King Charles had taken a different approach. After his unsuccessful appeal to reinstate complete police protection during visits to the UK, Harry stated that while the issue remains unresolved, it is fixable.

He expressed that the resolution could ultimately come from the King, not through direct intervention, but by stepping aside and allowing experts to handle the situation. However, despite Harry's assertion, the royal institution has maintained that King Charles lacks direct authority. 

While a member of the king's staff is part of the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (RAVEC), which oversees royal security, officials emphasized that the King does not have the power to authorize police protection.
