UK’s Harry, Meghan to give up their royal titles
Manila Standard
“They are now Mr and Mrs Ordinary,” public relations consultant Mark Borkowski told the UK’s PA news agency.“It’s still going to be difficult, but not having the royal mark they can be more free in terms of what they choose to fund them.”

But PR guru Mark Borkowski said that the couple will need more than a couple of voiceover deals to achieve their aims of earning their own incomes.
He added: “That sort of work isn’t where they are going to recover the sort of money that they need to keep the whole thing running – you don’t see Michelle and Barack Obama doing voiceovers for commercials.
“They (Harry and Meghan) are going to have business deals.
Harry and Meghan to fund their lives as ‘Mr and Mrs Ordinary’
Times & Star
Public relations and crisis consultant Mark Borkowski told the PA news agency that by stepping back, the pair will be free to work without the “trappings” of the royal family.
“They are now Mr and Mrs Ordinary,” Mr Borkowski said. “It’s a significant statement with a significant gesture that they want to live their own lives under their own rules without the HRH title.
“It shows they want the freedom to operate as individuals without the protocol, without the baggage of being in the royal family.”
Questions have been raised about how they will be funding their lives when they no longer receive public funds, as they will not be representing the Queen.
Mr Borkowski said: “It’s still going to be difficult, but not having the royal mark they can be more free in terms of what they choose to fund them.
“The negative side of that is that they don’t have the British Royal Family sheen, but they are powerful A-listers in their own right so they’re going to attract a lot of attention.”
Harry and Meghan are unlikely to want to be constrained by a nine-to-five existence, and it is known the duchess sees herself as a “business entrepreneur” – alongside her other public roles as an actor and women’s rights activist.
The PR expert noted that a return to acting was “way beyond” Meghan’s ambition and experience after becoming a royal.
With her combination of royalty and Hollywood glamour, Meghan would be highly-prized by any publisher wanting a tome about her time at the centre of the monarchy – or even her thoughts about topics close to her heart, such as gender politics and female empowerment.
The well-paid lecture circuit is also available and may better suit Harry, an accomplished speaker who, with his Army training in leading others and experience of appearing on stages across the world, could become an in-demand motivational speaker.
Mr Borkowski highlighted that part of Harry and Meghan’s daily expenses may include their security, which may present more problems than their previous charity fundraising.
“I don’t doubt that they can raise a lot of money for patronages, for charities and good causes,” he added.
Although the pair will no longer receive public funds, The Prince of Wales will also continue to offer private financial support to the couple, expected to come from his £21 million a year Duchy of Cornwall income.
Mr Borkowski added that while the pair will not be constrained by the policies of the royal family, they are still likely to be funded by sources with a positive image.
“They’re going to be significant social and political figures in all sorts of areas related to areas they care about,” he said.
“They’re not going to pick up any nasty oligarchs on the way because that would strip them of their credibility, and it will they have a lot of ambition to create good so by being associated with dirty money is going to be difficult.”

Intellectual property lawyer ‘trademarks Sussex Royal brand in America to teach Harry and Meghan a lesson about having a proper plan’
Daily Mail
PR expert Mark Borkowski, who has worked with Noel Edmonds and Graham Norton, suggested that the Sussex ‘brand’ could rival that of the House of Windsor.
He said: ‘Harry loves Meghan and can see what she’s going through and, influenced also by what he saw, what he experienced with his mother, he didn’t want to see the woman he loves go through it.
‘They’ve had their time to think about it and they’re now separated totally from the royal family and we will now see the Sussex brand, you know, and we’ll see something which is going to be a very powerful foundation or brand outside the royal family.
‘And that’s possibly the most dangerous thing for the royal brand. Could they become more potent? Could they have a world focus in a way the House of Windsor can’t?’
Mr Borkowski said Meghan and Harry stand to make ‘a fortune’ due to the demand for the Sussex brand in countries such as China, India and the US.
He said: ‘They are going to, they have to make a lot of money to fuel the lifestyle and everything that they need.
‘It’s not that easy to separate yourself, security issues alone are enormous, and they are a target for security – how they live, how they operate.
‘I think around the world – China, America, South East Asia, India, parts of Europe – people will be falling over to get brand connections with them. They will make a fortune.’
