A great comment under an article in the Telegraph. The situation has become serious. I only hope the men in grey suits realize this and have the authority snd ability to deal with these two. Especially if KC is too sick or weak to do so,

Harry’s stubborn refusal to avoid using his royal connections to further his own ends, even if they are charity-related, is a huge problem for the UK’s international reputation and standing. He is operating outside the auspices of the Crown while deliberately allowing the mistaken impression to arise that he represents the Crown. For example, the First Nations chief to whom he spoke last week in Canada was clearly under the impression that Harry had authority to speak to him on behalf of the Crown.
This is irresponsible in the extreme but, more importantly, shows no sign of ending. Harry is effectively poking a stick into the wheels of UK diplomacy and foreign policy, as well as making life very difficult for the King, and for the Prince of Wales. It’s not enough for Harry to say that he’s just doing good works, separately from the King; that is disingenuous and ignorant.
The King absolutely must address this constitutional problem as a priority; he has a responsibility not to let family sentiment prevent him from doing so. There’s no point in removing the Duke and Duchess titles, or the children’s’ titles, as that would simply look petty and would leave him as Prince anyway. The main point is to make it crystal clear to the world that Harry does not represent the Crown or the King.
If this problem is not addressed now, ie. the King is too weak to deal with this issue, William’s reign will be virtually impossible. We will have decades of Harry and Meghan roaming the Commonwealth doing good works while pretending to be royal and equal to William as King. It must be stopped.
