Meghan and Harry “miscalculated” their importance

According to a feminist author, the couple “miscalculated” their relevance.

Germaine Greer suggests that now that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have given up their royal status, they will “fade into obscurity.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, became dissatisfied with their lives and decided to change it.

In early 2020, their followers had conflicting feelings regarding Megxit; although some praised the pair for standing up for themselves, while others saw them as vain and ungrateful for effectively abandoning their positions as senior royals. Regardless of what some said, Harry and Meghan forged forward. The couple moved from London to Canada for a while before settling in California permanently.

The Australian feminist author said on 60 Minutes Australia that the Sussexes, who declared in January that they would be standing down from their positions as “senior members” of the royal family, might have “miscalculated” their significance.

“I think they may have miscalculated and I think they may slide into complete obscurity,” Greer said. “If you actually look at the vast panoply of royal relatives, many of them are completely obscure.”

“Wrong. She was not,” Greer said.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have given up their one fascinating characteristic.

The British royal family is interesting simply because of their international status. When media controversies and tragic figures are included, they become much more popular. Princess Diana was one of the people who captivated the world before, and after her death in 1997.

To the average American, Harry is yet another wealthy man living in Montecito with a B-list star. Among certain Brits, he’s a traitor to his kin and a deserter from his homeland.

The 81-year-old even spoke about the royal wedding of the pair, which she described as “terrible” since “it was full of showbiz personalities.”

The outspoken writer said, “The whole point about showbiz – it’s not real, and it won’t sustain you.”

Greer also speculated that Harry was drawn to Meghan because she was a “outsider.”

She speculated, “He was looking for a way out.”

When asked what she thought would happen now that the pair, Greer said she doubts they would return to England since she doesn’t believe they will be “welcome.”

“I mean they’ve really burnt their bridges and they’ve put up the shutters around Frogmore Cottage,” she said, adding: “How could they come back and say: ‘We made a big mistake and Canada’s horrible’”.

“I think they’re more likely to fade into the kind of obscurity that affects the junior members of the royal family already,” she concluded.

True, Harry and Meghan have good intentions. They left London first and foremost so that they could raise their baby, Archie, away from the prying eyes of the paparazzi who followed his every step. The Duke of Sussex, who remembers the consequences of this treatment from his own youth, tried to save his son from the worst of it.

On a larger scope, they’re engaged in social and environmental projects that would be difficult to undertake when adhering to the royal code of political neutrality. Prince Harry may be miles away from home, but he is not cut off from the rest of the family for the time being. So he’ll be willing to leverage his celebrity to support certain issues for a bit.

Will the Sussexes, like the hundreds of other Hollywood celebrities competing for recognition, fade into obscurity? Only time will tell.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will become Z-list celebrities after standing down as senior members of the Royal Family, according to Graham Smith, Republic’s CEO.

Mr Smith predicted, “They will just go off and do their own thing, I suspect they will fade into some obscurity.

“Their interest factor is that they were the Duke and Duchess.

“I think the Americans will get rather tired of them and they will become Z-list celebrities.

“However, they do have plenty of wealth to keep themselves going for the rest of their lives.”
