For years, Prince William and Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, seemed to be the most popular royals. Although Prince Harry himself was a senior working royal, he usually performed with his brother and sister-in-law and made a name for himself as “the world’s most famous third wheel”. When Harry married American actor Meghan Markle, all of a sudden, all eyes were on the new Duke and Duchess of Sussex. This isn’t to say that Harry doesn’t already have a huge fan base, but in recent years, something he and Meghan do has become headline news.
As future King and Queen companions, William and Kate will always hold a special place in the hearts of fans around the world. Over the years, they have touched the lives of many people, standing in the thousands of streets, which is why to get a glimpse of them whenever they perform. Although the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are getting a lot of positive attention, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have just proved that they will always be more popular than William and Kate.
Meghan and Harry are no longer bound by the royal family
Being a member of the royal family may seem like a fairy tale to some, but the truth is that it can be very difficult at times. The Royals are expected to follow a long list of rules and protocols, as illustrated by Harper’s Market, and the work list for senior family members can be very demanding. Add to that the unjust media treatment the Royals like Meghan and Harry have received and nothing is easier than being in the spotlight. For a few years, Meghan and Harry were bound by the limitations of royal life, and they became very unhappy and frustrated with everything. It was in early 2020 that the couple announced that they would step down as members of a working family, and now they have finally settled in California with their youngest son to start independent travel, especially now that Magxit is the final they are more popular. We can only imagine how much fun it must have been for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to no longer be bound by the royal family.

They will do amazing things that will delight their fans, and that Meghan is certainly not a stranger to the entertainment industry. While the Duchess is not thinking of going back to her acting days, she and Harry said in a statement that their “focus will be on creating content, but also giving hope,” which seems to be their surprise plan.
