Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have reportedly “ripped up the etiquette rule book”

But ahead of their big royal tour of Africa, the duke and duchess are really throwing caution to the wind, with the Daily Mail reporting that they have “ripped up the etiquette rule book.
Going into their ten-day trip across the continent, the duke and duchess of Sussex have made it explicitly clear that they don’t want to be treated like, well, royalty, Vanity Fair reports. They want to come off as honorable but chill, in part to improve their popularity.
Meghan and Harry’s brazen decision to reject formality, however, has made some officials nervous. “I have no idea how to speak to them,” Jacky Poking, secretary of the Bo-Kaap Civic and Ratepayers Association, told South Africa’s Sunday Times. “We haven’t received any official brief on etiquette.” To Poking, I would say, do not fret; Meghan and Harry — we’re respecting their first-name-basis request — are cool royals.
It is unclear where baby Archie, who is also on tour, stands on following royal etiquette. We look forward to seeing if he takes after his unruly parents.
