Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, have been grieving the loss of Queen Elizabeth along with the rest of the Royal Family.
The pair went to Her Majesty’s burial last week, but according to the most recent rumours, they have already departed the UK and are returning to the US.
We can all agree, or at least make an educated guess, that the Royal Family adheres to a set of rules. Far from it, in fact, wealth, fame, and fortune are not everything. Details on what it’s like to work with Harry have been exposed in a new book.
Ed Perkins, a former press secretary who worked with the Prince, once caused quite the incident when he texted Harry. He referred to the Prince as “mate,” as per Perkins.
Three weeks have elapsed since Queen Elizabeth’s death. The nation as a whole, as well as the entire Royal Family, have expressed their sorrow over the long-reigning monarch’s passing. But the period of formal mourning is now passed.
Senior family members will need to resume their work in order to carry out their royal responsibilities. Of course, that is no longer the situation for Harry and Meghan Markle.
While we’re talking about rules, whether you interact with the royal family frequently or not, there are precise instructions on how to do so. One time, someone who worked closely with Harry experienced a major accident.
In Valentine Low’s book, it is stated that King Charles’ staff used both “Sir:” and the formal salutation “Your Royal Highness” when he assumed the throne.
Nick Loughran, a former press secretary at Kensington Palace, has now disclosed that Harry wasn’t very interested in being formal.
Nick Loughran, a former press secretary at Kensington Palace, has now disclosed that Harry wasn’t very interested in being formal.
According to Low in Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown, “Nick Loughran would call Harry by his first name while he worked at Kensington Palace as a press secretary, but he preferred to be more formal with Prince William because their connection was not as intimate.”
Even yet, Ed Perkins, one of Harry’s assistants, learned the hard way that calling Harry by the wrong name or being too casual can cause unpleasant situations.
He served as William and Harry’s press secretary, and once by mistake, he texted Harry, “Hello mate.” Harry only only three words to respond after he swiftly realised his serious error.
