Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been “sucking up to Hollywood royalty” albeit unsuccessfully, according to a royal commentator.
Richard Eden drew comparisons between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s attempts to woo new celebrity friendship and Prince William’s easy relationship with big names such as American pop star Taylor Swift.
Speaking to the Daily Mail’s Palace Confidential, Mr Eden said: “It’s a very different relationship because, essentially, Taylor Swift is here and she wants to show her respect for the Royal Family.
In a way, you could say [she is] paying court to Prince William whereas with Harry and Meghan, it’s the other way round. They’re the ones who seem to be always sucking up to Hollywood royalty.
They thought when they moved to California, ‘we’ll be at the centre of this sort of royal court and everyone will come to see us.’ But it never seems to be working out like that.”

Prince William ‘puts absolute ban’ on Prince Harry over family rift
Prince William has banned Prince Harry from a royal return “in any way, shape or form”, claimed an inside source.
It has been reported that William has taken on the role of being the disciplinarian – a role within the family that used to be held by the late Prince Philip.
As part of the claims, which were made in response to a new YouGov poll about the most popular male royal, William has been described as the one who rules the family “with a rod iron”.
As the Daily Beast reported, a source said: “There is a sense that William has stepped into the Prince Philip role. Philip ruled the family with a rod of iron…
“Now William is calling the shots when it comes to family discipline… He can be scary!”

Expert delivers brutal verdict on exactly why Meghan Markle is clashing with royal events
Meghan Markle has a knack for timing her product promotions with significant Royal Family events and an expert has delved into why this might be the case.
For instance, on the day the Diana Award was being celebrated, Meghan, 42, unveiled her lifestyle blog, ‘America Riviera Orchard’ and she also released a new jam and dog biscuits at the same time as Trooping the Colour, on June 15 to celebrate the official birthday of her father-in-law, King Charles.
Critics argue that such consistently timed overlaps indicate a conscious strategy rather than coincidence. A Hollywood publicist has explored the thought process behind the event release.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle warned of facing ‘big problem’ over UK return
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle would be facing a “big problem” if they chose to return to the UK as working royals, a royal commentator has claimed.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have seen their popularity in the UK and the US continuously plummet ever since they quit the Royal Family and moved to the US in 2020. A recent poll by YouGov, published last month, saw them emerge as the least popular royal couple.
Of the two, Meghan Markle is viewed slightly less favourably than her husband, with 22 percent holding a positive view of her compared to 29 percent of Harry.
Now a royal commentator has claimed that even if the Sussex couple were able to resolve their ongoing feud with the royals, King Charles’s hands would be “tied” as making them working royals again would crash with the public’s unfavourable view of them.

Meghan Markle upset to be ‘subservient’ to Princess Kate as she longed to be ‘new Diana’
Meghan Markle saw herself as the Royal Family’s “new Princess Diana” when she first joined the Firm, a new book has alleged.
House of Beckham, journalist Tom Bower’s new book, brings new revelations about the Beckham family into the spotlight – and one of them is allegedly the breakdown of their relationship with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
According to Mr Bower, the Duchess was upset because she was “subservient” to her new sister-in-law, the Princess of Wales.
