Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have recently been put on blast for choosing to forgo the duty of monarchy, for the ‘frivolous freedom’ of celebrity status.
This claim’s been made by royal expert and commentator Robert Jobson ad during his interview on the Royally Us podcast he was quoted saying,
During his interview on the Royally Us podcast, he was quoted saying, “Well by their own statement, they are more celebrity now than royal, they're not royals.”
“Harry is a born royal, Meghan was in it for five minutes, I mean they both decided to keep the title which is rather odd considering how much they panned the organisation and said that they don't really see the need for it.”
“One would have thought the first thing you do is drop your royal title, but clearly that carries some financial and exposure way.”
Before concluding he added, “I think that they will now be seen as celebrities going forward, slightly quasi-celebrities royal, but that's the sort of path they've chosen. They've sort of cheapened the mystique a little bit.”
