The relationship between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry is crucial for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's star appeal, according to royal commentators. They speculate that Markle might not experience a surge in her celebrity status should she decide to separate from her royal spouse.
Esther Krakue, a writer and broadcaster, was featured on Sky News Australia's "The Royal Report," discussing rumors of Prince Harry planning to immerse himself in charity work, distancing from the limelight. There are speculations that the Sussexes are rebranding, intending to work on individual projects.
Krakue highlighted that the Sussexes' influence stems mainly from their togetherness. "The Sussexes' allure, inasmuch as it retains its potency, is rooted in their unity. They essentially form a star duo," Krakue remarked.
Discussing the possible consequences of a hypothetical divorce, Krakue posits that ending her royal marriage wouldn't amplify Markle's star power. "I cannot envision her celebrity status escalating if she were to divorce Prince Harry," Krakue stated. "There are whispers that Markle is set to assume a prominent role in the couple's brand as Prince Harry recedes to dedicate more time to his passion projects and duties."
The authenticity of these claims remains unverified by Business Times.
Angela Levin, the biographer of Prince Harry, echoed Krakue's thoughts in an earlier interview on "GB News" with Nana Akua. The author of "Harry: A Biography of a Prince" suggested that Markle has acquired all she desired from her royal union, but would unlikely leave Harry as it could lead to a decline in public interest.
Levin said, "She's achieved her desires, and she can now proceed with her new PR ventures and all the opportunities coming her way. But a split is unlikely, as it could lead to a dip in public attention, which is primarily directed at their union. I find this unfortunate."
On the topic of individual projects, Kinsey Schofield, the host of the royal podcast "To Di For Daily," stated that public sympathy might lean more towards Prince Harry than his wife. Schofield, the author of "R is for Revenge Dress," suggests that the public might be more forgiving of the Duke of Sussex.
Schofield noted, "If Meghan decides to promote kitchen appliances while Prince Harry earnestly calls for attention to African issues, Meghan might not be viewed favorably. Thus, I believe Harry will be the one to receive public forgiveness first, if at all."
