According to a royal commentator, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry would never have been able to “shine” if they remained in the monarchy.
The author of the royal biography “The Queen: 70 Chapters in the Life of Elizabeth II”, Ian Lloyd, recently told Express.co.uk: “The problem with being the second is that you grow up with your sibling and you are equal – Diana treated Harry and William as equals, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth treated Elizabeth and Margaret like equals when they were children.”
He explained that their equality changes when they get older because the heir is on track to become the sovereign while “the second sibling more or less disappears”.
He continued by noting that the pair needed to step down as senior working members of the Royal Family in order to build their profile and expand their brands another way.
“There is no obvious role and I think Meghan thought she could come in and make a role and sort of take on the Royal Family but the Palace and the organisation won’t do that.
“They only ever support the heir and spare, so Meghan and Harry would never shine in this country.”
Since stepping down as senior members of the Royal Family, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have continued to build their brands and have landed multi-million dollar book deals and movie deals.
