Meghan Markle<\/strong> and Prince Harry<\/strong> were described as trying to keep royal influence alive after leaving official duties. The Duchess of Sussex and the Duke of Sussex are nearing their eighth wedding anniversary on May 19.<\/p>\n

A new expert claim said their public status still depends on royal family proximity. The comments followed recent appearances in Australia<\/a> and Ukraine, which were framed as pseudo-royal outings rather than formal Palace work.<\/p>\n

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry realize their status \u2018depends on proximity to the royal family,\u2019 per expert<\/h2>\n

As per a GB News report<\/a>, commentator Rafe Haydel-Mankoo discussed Prince Harry\u2019s recent moves. He claimed the Duke had \u201cmany regrets\u201d about choices that left him estranged from Britain. The expert said Harry missed \u201cbeing a royal prince.\u201d He linked that feeling to his attempts to play \u201ca prince in exile.\u201d According to Haydel-Mankoo, who explained the \u201cpseudo-royal tours\u201d seen in Australia and Ukraine.<\/p>\n

The commentator then widened the point to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry<\/a> as a couple. He said they had both realized their \u201cprominence\u201d and \u201cstatus\u201d depended on royal family proximity. The expert added that public interest fell when they moved further from \u201cthe royal world.\u201d He said that distance also reduced interest in them \u201cas people.\u201d Meanwhile, GB News noted the couple moved to California after stepping back from duties in 2020. The outlet also said they now live in Montecito with Archie and Lilibet.<\/p>\n

Haydel-Mankoo claimed the Sussexes<\/a> were making efforts to look like working royals again. He said they styled themselves and carried on activities as if they still represented the royal family. The expert also claimed Harry may hope his overseas appearances show he can function royally again. However, he rejected the idea of a real return. \u201cThere\u2019s a world of difference,\u201d Haydel-Mankoo said, between Harry\u2019s hopes and what could happen. He added it was \u201cinconceivable\u201d King Charles or Prince William would open that door.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
