Prince Harry, Meghan Markle need the Royal tag for their commercial deals

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle need to keep their ties with the Royal family strengthened if they want to progress in their careers, says an expert.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who have made a sudden decision to return to the UK after spending six years in California, I reminded to not let go out there roots.

Royal expert Hugo Vickers explained to The Sun : “They need to be associated with the British royal family to secure their commercial deals; otherwise, we wouldn’t be talking about them.

"We’ve been told for a long time that they want to be private citizens. We were told they wanted to go away, make their own way in the world, and do various things."

He continued: “Now that they have returned, if they want to take part in public life, that is completely contradictory to what was agreed at the Sandringham meeting back in 2020 when the late Queen was still alive. They must accept that.”

Prince Harry left the Royal Family back in 2020 alongside wife Meghan Markle and son, Prince Archie. The couple later accused the Royal Family of showcasing racism towards their son and publicly shared their grievances on television. Harry and Meghan now live in California, where they also welcomed their daughter, Princess Lilibet.
