A royal expert has warned that Meghan Markle’s ‘commercial ambitions’ are conflict with her husband Prince Harry’s desire to rebuild royal bridges.

Speaking to the Fox News Digital, royal expert Kinsey Schofield warned the duke, as long as Meghan uses her royal title for business, the “royal family will keep their distance."

The royal expert also claims Meghan and Harry’s star power is ‘fading" after five years after they stepped down as senior royals.

"That will frustrate them because they’ve experienced the dopamine hit of adoration. Their confidence in leaving the royal family was rooted in their perceived popularity. They’ll keep putting themselves out there because they need to make money, but Meghan’s commercial ambitions conflict with Harry’s desire to rebuild royal bridges."

Kinsey went on saying and as long as the royal family keeps that distance, Prince Harry’s popularity will continue to suffer.

Another royal expert Hilary Fordwich said, "Either they really are oblivious to their fading star power or are just doing their utmost to manage their waning popularity, decline of interest in them, and are trying to portray festive coziness, reportedly filmed a year ago," British royals expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital.

Hilary added, "Their reactions are very different.”

About Meghan, Fordwich said she is usually ‘dismissive’ of criticism, while Harry takes it ‘deeply to heart’.

However, the royal expert advised the couple, “Meghan grew up Hollywood-hardened, while Harry is more easily wounded. It’s mutually beneficial for them to keep up appearances — to look united and content — because they both need their commercial ventures to succeed."
