Meghan Markle could’ve done an amazing job as a member of the Royal family, says an expert.

The Duchess of Sussex, who left her position as a senior member of the institution back in 2020, had massive potential and lack with people just like Princess Diana.

He notes Meghan as “obviously a massive asset” who was “brilliant with the crowd” and “would have been a major player”

He added of the Duchess of Sussex: “She should have been, could have been, fantastic for the royal family but egos on both sides got in the way.”

He further noted, by 2019 “nobody was talking to each other” and the couple “seemed to be on a path where they felt alone”. They “should have been transformative”

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.
