The secret to being a successful member of the British royal family is to adapt quickly.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have undertaken a ‘fundamentally damaging, deliberate strategy to undermine’ the royals, a royal expert has claimed.

Royal expert Hilary Fordwich told the Fox News Digital the mistakes made by the California-based royal couple cannot be overlooked and have contributed to their estrangement from the royal family.

She said, "Harry and Meghan didn't just make a silly mistake. They have undertaken a fundamentally damaging, deliberate strategy to undermine the royals, which is unforgivable.”

The royal family was most welcoming to Meghan, “bent the rules” for her, made exceptions for her, but she “thwarted it all”, Hilary said.

“She didn't want to either learn or accept advice. King Charles and Prince William now have a narrower, more disciplined monarchy as a result."

"Yes, things could have been very different if Meghan had been dedicated to duty and not to herself and her own aggrandizement," said Fordwich.

Another royal expert Helena Chard shared the secret to being a successful member of the British royal family is to adapt quickly.

Helena said, "The House of Windsor may appear rigid, but it has run like clockwork and survived through history.

"The one thing people marrying into The Firm have to learn is to adapt,” the expert said.

Kate Middleton and Meghan both came in as outsiders, but one chose to learn the institution, she explained.

“The system is tough, but the system also gave Meghan support,” the expert added.
