Meghan Markle’s Struggle to Find Her Place in the Royal Hierarchy
Meghan Markle's position in the royal hierarchy has been a topic of discussion since her marriage to Prince Harry.
Despite their popularity, royal commentator Andrew Morton claims that the couple has always been aware of their place in the line of succession.
During a podcast interview with Molly Mulshine and Christine Garibaldi on Us Weekly, Morton emphasized that popularity within the royal family does not determine one's position.
He stated, “Inside the royal family, it doesn't matter how popular you are, it is down to your position in the line of succession.”
This means that Meghan and Harry would always be second and third to Prince William, as well as Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
Morton further explained his point by referencing Princess Margaret, who was once second in line to the throne.
Despite being part of the most glamorous couple at the time, her position diminished as other members of the royal family gained publicity.
This inability to come to terms with their position may have been a struggle for Meghan and Harry.
Adding to the discussion, the hosts of Us Weekly highlighted a 2015 interview with Meghan Markle that resurfaced recently.
In the interview, Meghan discussed her approach to life and her strong sense of self-worth.
She emphasized the importance of saying no to things and avoiding office politics.
Interestingly, these sentiments seem to mirror her experience within the royal family.
Looking ahead, there is speculation about a potentially awkward encounter between Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and Prince William and Kate Middleton.
This comes after the announcement that next year's Earthshot Prize ceremony will be held in the US.
Since Harry and Meghan moved to America after stepping down from their royal duties, some royal fans believe this could lead to a tense reunion.
The Earthshot Prize Awards, initiated by William and Kate, aim to combat climate change.
The recent ceremony in London awarded five prizes of 1 million pounds each to initiatives addressing this global issue.
However, with the announcement that the ceremony will move to the US for its second year, concerns have been raised about the environmental impact and the potential strain on family relations.
The hosts of the royally obsessed podcast jokingly speculated about Harry co-hosting the event with William in LA, raising questions about the Sussexes' attendance and the logistics of the ceremony.
Additionally, the environmental implications of flying people to the US for the event were discussed.
It remains to be seen how the organizers will address these concerns and maintain a sustainable approach.
As Meghan and Harry establish themselves in America, experts are analyzing the future impact on official royal visits to the US.
Their recent trip to New York, accompanied by the city's mayor, has led some to believe that the couple is trying to create a sort of rival royal family.
The struggle to find their place within the royal hierarchy and the potential tensions arising from future events continue to captivate royal fans.
While popularity can be fleeting, the dynamics of the royal family remain rooted in tradition and succession.
Only time will tell how Meghan and Harry navigate their unique position and the challenges it presents.
