In a bold display of unity, Prince William and Princess Kate have seemingly sent a clear message to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle: the royal family is thriving without them.
This assertion comes from royal experts who believe that the couple’s recent Christmas PR strategy has effectively sidelined the Sussexes, making any potential return to the UK increasingly difficult for them.
Reports suggest that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are eager to start anew after facing backlash over their Netflix documentary and Harry’s memoir, “Spare.”
These projects have strained their relationship with the royal family, leading many to believe that the couple’s ties to the monarchy are dwindling.
According to Phil Dampier, a royal commentator, the recent holiday season showcased the royal family’s solidarity, notably welcoming everyone except Harry and Meghan.
Dampier noted that even Prince Andrew‘s ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, was included in the festivities, further emphasizing the Sussexes’ exclusion.
This deliberate choice sends a strong message that Kate and William, enjoying unprecedented popularity, are more than capable of carrying on without Harry and Meghan.
The public, particularly in America, seems to be growing weary of the couple’s grievances and is calling for more positive contributions from them.
As speculation swirls about the Sussexes’ next steps, there are whispers of a Hollywood comeback in 2024.
Entertainment expert Mark Boardman highlighted that Harry and Meghan are currently negotiating lucrative deals for multiple book projects and working on their Archewell Foundation.
This proactive approach indicates that they are determined to shape their narrative rather than waiting for opportunities to arise.
Boardman, drawing on his extensive media experience, believes that the couple will receive numerous invitations to events and charity functions.
With speaking engagements and partnerships on the horizon, it appears they are gearing up for a busy schedule.
Meanwhile, Meghan is preparing for her much-anticipated reintroduction into the spotlight, having signed with the prestigious William Morris Endeavor talent agency.
Rumors of Meghan’s return to the public eye gained traction after she appeared in an Instagram advertisement for a coffee company in which she holds stock.
In this ad, she showcased a more polished image, swapping her casual warehouse style for smart office attire, hinting at a potential new direction in her career.
Analysts speculate that this could mark the beginning of Meghan’s journey as an influencer.
Kinsey Schofield, a media commentator, emphasized that the ad represents a shift for Meghan, suggesting that she is poised to embrace the influencer lifestyle, as her options appear limited at this stage.
As for Harry, Dampier expressed skepticism about the impact of his one notable success, the Invictus Games, in the current climate.
He hopes Meghan will consider launching a lifestyle brand similar to Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop instead of penning another tell-all book, which could reignite controversy.
The Sussexes’ future remains uncertain as they navigate the complexities of their public image.
With their past missteps still fresh in the minds of the public, it will be interesting to see how they adapt and what strategies they employ to regain their footing in the ever-changing landscape of celebrity and royalty.
