According to a royal specialist, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will inevitably lose their significance when they can no longer rely on their royal ties.
According to British writer Robert Hardman, the pair uses their royal connections to market their company. They may have supported various philanthropic initiatives, yet their relationship to the British royal family is what matters most to those who deal with them.
As a result, he predicts that they will lose importance and gradually fade from the headlines. He stated that he thinks their brand rests totally on their royal position and royal ties, and thus that’s what they’re going to have to trade on, whatever much they pretend otherwise.
People will seek for dramatic revelations about the royal family, according to the royal biographer, especially with Prince Harry’s biography due out later this year. “When Harry’s book comes out, it will be the royal things in it that people want to know about, not the excellent philanthropic effort,” he continued.
However, he asserts that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would, like the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, “inevitably gradually decline from top billing on the news agenda” over time. He believes this will be a “long process” for the couple, who presently reside in their Montecito estate in Santa Barbara, California, with their two kids.
The pair has often been likened to the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, who retired from their responsibilities and lived as common folk. The duke, originally King Edward II, relinquished in 1936 in order to marry the divorcee and American socialite Wallis Simpson.
However, this is not the first time Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been cautioned that they are losing their significance. According to fellow royal specialist Russell Myers, the pair would jump at the chance to rub elbows with the British royals and be in the spotlight with them in order to “remain relevant.” They still “need to be viewed as regal,” after all.
