He explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSo I believe this. I think Meghan Markle, she really has been on her own for most of her life. She probably said, &#8220;You know what? I don&#8217;t want these people in charge of our finances.&#8221; And we also heard stories, even back in 2018, when they went to Australia for the first time, she allegedly wanted to be paid for that trip.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He further argued that such an approach conflicted with long-standing royal conventions, emphasizing that the monarchy has historically maintained a strict separation between public duty and private financial gain.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThat&#8217;s not what the queen was about. It&#8217;s not what the monarchy had ever done,\u201d he said, referencing the principles associated with the late Queen Elizabeth II.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Continuing his criticism, Lauren <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/pop-culture\/news-which-film-marks-meghan-markle-s-hollywood-comeback-duchess-sussex-reportedly-feels-excited-rusty-8-year-acting-hiatus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">expressed strong views<\/a> on the use of royal titles for commercial purposes, asserting that members of the royal family were expected to uphold certain standards of conduct.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIf you&#8217;re in a public role, if you&#8217;re a member of the royal family, you don&#8217;t dine out on your title. You don&#8217;t use your title to sell candles with your kids&#8217; names on it. You don&#8217;t do low-down, dirty, scummy things like that,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He also pointed to alleged instances during past royal tours, particularly in 2018, claiming there were attempts to combine philanthropic engagements with paid appearances. According to Lauren, this approach reflected a broader desire to monetize royal duties, noting that activities such as a \u201cwomen&#8217;s retreat\u201d were part of this effort.<\/p>\n<p>He suggested that the couple, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, wanted to \u201cget paid and make money while on royal tours,\u201d adding that the monarchy\u2019s structure leaves little room for such flexibility and operates on an \u201call in or all out\u201d basis.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren then described what he saw as the rigid framework upheld by senior royals, attributing this consistency to both past and present leadership. He remarked that the system followed by King Charles III would likely continue under Prince William, stating it was \u201ceither 100% one way or nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Expanding on this, Lauren speculated that Prince William could take an even stricter stance in the future regarding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.<\/p>\n<p>He suggested that William might have little patience for what he described as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/podcasts\/news-heard-ticket-sales-great-link-lauren-comments-meghan-markle-s-upcoming-women-s-retreat-says-people-have-common-sense\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">ongoing controversies<\/a>. He speculated that Prince William would have \u201cno time to entertain Harry, Meghan, or their \u2018delusions\u2019,\u201d and could \u201ceither strip them of their titles or remove them from the line of succession.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Lauren reiterated his criticism of using royal status for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/podcasts\/news-damaging-actual-royal-family-piers-morgan-slams-prince-harry-meghan-markle-s-australia-tour-calls-renegade-rival-royal-family\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">smaller-scale public engagements<\/a>, referencing the reported women\u2019s retreat as an example. He characterized the event as poorly executed, describing it as an \u201cutter calamity,\u201d and argued that such appearances undermined the perceived dignity of royal titles when used outside traditional frameworks.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>At present, Meghan Markle is focused on her lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard (formerly known as \u201cAs Ever\u201d), while also investing in AI fashion technology and producing content for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/podcasts\/news-why-watching-show-zack-peter-slams-with-love-meghan-holiday-celebration-calls-duchess-sussex-f-cking-loser\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Netflix<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\" title=\"like article\"><br \/>\n<img class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" data-lazy=\"\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\" title=\"dislike article\"><br \/>\n<img class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" data-lazy=\"\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"publisher-name\">Edited by Shayari Roy<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/podcasts\/news-what-meghan-markle-s-net-worth-link-lauren-reacts-reportedly-wanted-royal-life-prince-william-control-funding\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Commentator Link Lauren reacted to a recent report about Meghan Markle and her alleged reasons for stepping back from royal life.
