The Royal Family is in damage control mode as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's popularity continues to rise, overshadowing senior royals, following their successful trip to Nigeria.
According to a recent report by Mirror, Senior royals, including Prince William, have accepted the fact that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have “overshadowed” the royal family.
Speaking to the publication, royal expert Tom Quinn claimed that “intense damage limitation discussions” are taking place at Kensington Palace and Clarence House, as reports suggest the Sussexes are considering further international tours in the future.
Meanwhile, Charles and William have postponed royal engagements “which may appear to divert attention or distract from the election campaign.”
Discussing the matter, Quinn said senior royals have accepted the bitter reality that they are “going to be overshadowed for now” by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
“As far as many world leaders are concerned, Harry is and always will be a member of the Royal Family,” the expert said. “Believing their trip to Nigeria was a great success, Meghan and Harry are already planning future trips.”
“Intense discussions are taking place about damage limitation at Kensington Palace and Clarence House, but until Kate and King Charles make a full recovery, senior royals accept that they will be overshadowed for now.” Quinn added.
As for the Sussexes, Quinn said Harry and Meghan feel there was “a feeling of injustice” within the Royal Family that created a “sense of mission” and a feeling that they needed to “stay united and be strong in the face of their enemies.” ”
