Some see Meghan Markle and Prince Harry as modern royal family members that are injecting modernity to the monarchy. Although the Duke of Sussex is sixth in the line of succession, it may be far that the British public will see him as the new king. However, the singer Jamelia believes that he will be a better king for modern times than his brother, Prince William because he and his wife are more "relatable" and "progressive."
The talks about Queen Elizabeth II abdicating her throne is once again making noise as the New Year comes. In fact, bookmakers are putting 10/1 odds on Her Majesty stepping down from her seat this year, per Express.
On Jeremy Vine, the presenter tackled the issue of whether the Queen should leave her seat and let Prince Charles, Prince William, or Prince Harry take over. Jamelia joined the panel, saying it would be inevitable for the United Kingdom to see Meghan Markle's husband as the new king.
She then said that she preferred Prince Harry for the job. Jamelia explained that she could relate to the younger prince and her wife, Meghan Markle. She loved what they stand for and represent.
"I think, for someone of my generation, I don't want to overuse the worst, but I think they're progressive and relatable," she continued to say. With the reigning of Queen Elizabeth and the future kings, there would surely be different approaches.
Hence, Jamelia added that they should make the difference in time into consideration. "In the post-war era, it would have been the way to be buttoned up," she added.
For Jamelia's generation, Prince William and her were both born in 1981; they are known for being open and discussing things. Hence, people should never be surprised by that, and it's not good to compare him to his younger brother.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are believed to be the most modern in the royal family. They managed to create a different path from other members of the clan, and they also proved that they are good at it.
When Meghan Markle joined the family, she was called to be a modern breath of fresh air for the royal family. According to Business Times Online, sources close to the Sussexes said that they are dragging the royal family into the 21st century. They are even called that couple who "single-handedly modernized the monarchy."
