We asked Maclaran if people will be as interested in Harry and Meghan once they hit a certain age with her saying: “I doubt it – they have youth and beauty on their side at the moment but that will fade and it remains to be seen whether they develop their other ventures sufficiently to remain in the public eye in their later years.”
The Royal Family is not immune to ageism, as we’ve seen senior working members pushed out of the spotlight to make room for younger royals, and that includes the Sussexes, even if they are a little bit removed, living in the U.S.
Ian Pelham Turner, who worked at the Palace as a royal photographer, saw Princess Diana and the then-Prince Charles compete against each other.
He said: “Prince Charles when married to Diana even had his own press team to compete head on with his former wife’s team for gaining the image of the day.”
On one level, the apple may not fall far from the tree, with Harry going to blows with other members of the Royal Family, which could be seen as a form of competition.
In the context of aging, it may be time for the Duke to pull back, because it could be a blink-and-you-miss-it moment and next thing you know, he’s no longer in the spotlight and his time was wasted on sparring.
