Recently, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made regular appearances in web summits and interviews.

This may be a hint that they want to show the monarchy how good they are doing. However, as they appear to make ludicrous gestures, a royal analyst has dubbed them “irrelevant.”

Daily Mirror royal editor Russell Myers elaborated on this during an interview on Ann Griper’s Pod Save the Queen.

According to Myers, if the Duke and Duchess of Sussex speak about something, they seem to sound off. He also contrasted them to Prince Charles, Prince William, and Kate Middleton.

The royal family’s core figures, unlike the Sussexes, expend their time speaking out on significant global issues.

Meghan and Harry will become ‘more irrelevant’ as William’s kids grow up

Andrew Morton, a royal biographer, joined Roberta Fiorito and Rachel Bowie on their podcast Royally Obsessed. He said that since Harry is not a key royal and is only sixth in line to the throne after William’s children, the attention on him will likely shift away from him in the future.

“Harry and Meghan were ancillary branches of the Royal Family, they were not central branches of the Royal Family,” Mr Morton said.

“So they were going on the same trajectory as Princess Margaret.

“Princess Margaret, when she was 18 or 19 she was the most glamorous woman, she was matched with Elizabeth Taylor, in all furs and jewels and looking fabulous, but she was Number Two.”

“Same with Meghan and Harry – Number Two,” the royal author continued.

“And I’m sure they didn’t properly appreciate that but it does mean, as the years tick by, Meghan and Harry will become more and more irrelevant as George, Louis and Charlotte grow and become the chew toys of the tabloids.”
