Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, allegedly, didn't want a "totally private life." Instead, a royal expert revealed they wanted to hold control of their time so that they could spend it doing what they like.
Victoria Murphy said Prince Harry and Meghan stepped down as senior members of the Royal Family to "gain more control over what they spend their time on." Although they officially stepped back from their royal duties in March and are now living in Los Angeles, the royal author said they are not "seeking wholly private existence" away from the spotlight.
In an interview with Town and Country, the journalist believed the couple still wanted to have a public life, but they wanted to take control of their time. She claimed they stepped back to have a different kind of public life that they wanted. The royal contributor continued the two fancied to manage their own time to spend it on what they wanted to do and who could have access to them.
According to Express¸ members of the royal family are expected to be open about their lives as they are funded by the taxpayers and work publicly. So, as the Sussexes left their royal posts and wanted to be financially independent, it can help them to lead a more private life.
Indeed, their 2018 royal wedding had been publicized, but they opted to maintain the privacy of Archie's birth and christening by not inviting the media. In fact, since they relocated to LA, they have kept a low profile.
Murphy explained that Prince Harry and Meghan could stop branding themselves as royals in their ventures. But they might find it hard to remove their ties with the Royal Family, especially Harry.
They still have royal patronages, and their high-profiles are a result of their being members of the Royal Family. Also, Murphy continued that they could not change the fact that they are their family.
Meanwhile, a source told Town and Country Prince Harry and Meghan's primary focus is to use their "high-profiles" to promote their own foundation, Archewell. They are both hands-on and working nonstop on the charity's development. Through their work, they are aiming to see positive and significant change happening in this world.
