Prince William and Kate Middleton are considered to be two of the busiest members of the Royal Family during the coronavirus pandemic. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have ramped up their royal engagements while Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles remain in isolation.

If Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were still senior royals, they would definitely be a great help for Prince William and Kate Middleton with their royal duties. However, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced their withdrawal from being senior royals back in January and they officially turned their backs on royal life at the end of March.

Express recently started a poll, asking its readers if Prince William and Kate Middleton have stepped up after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle royal exit. The answer was clear with 88 percent voted “Yes,” under 10 percent voted “No,” and two percent were undecided.

Some of the voters then explained their reasons why they believe that Prince William and Kate Middleton stepped up after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s withdrawal. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge received a lot of praise for doing a great job, but one royal fan criticized the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for running “for the hills when they couldn't handle unveiling a plaque without moaning about it.”

The royal fan then pointed out that Prince William and Kate Middleton didn’t really step up, as they and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are “not on the same page.” Another voter described the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge as “A class act, loved by Britain, future King and Queen” and then left a blank space for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

One royal fan noted that the reason why Prince William and Kate Middleton are successful with what they’re doing is that they are being “themselves” and that they are focused on their responsibilities. They even said that comparing the Cambridges to the Sussexes is like “mentioning a lower league football team in the presence of any one of the greats!"

Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle said in their withdrawal announcement that they want to live a “peaceful life.” The couple probably believes that stepping down as senior royals would lessen the criticism, but what’s happening now is the other way around.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex received even more backlash after their royal exit, especially that it happened during the coronavirus crisis. Many believed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle abandoned the UK when it needed them the most.
