'Low Status' Royals: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Are 'Diminished Without the Comfort Blanket' of the Monarchy

In light of an embarrassing moment for Meghan Markle at Kevin Costner's recent fundraiser, the former actress and Prince Harry's public roles and careers have come into sharp focus.

"New experiences must be part of the ongoing landscape of Harry’s life these days as he takes on the world without the comfort blanket of royal status," body language expert Judi James dished.

"Posing with people possibly wealthier or more famous than yourself like this must make him feel a little strange," she added. "It’s clear that he and Meghan are not the central focus of this particular group pose."

When referencing a photo from the event showing the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in the edge of the frame next to Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres in the middle — the analysts pointed out how the two talk show stars are "getting the main attention."

"The body language and positioning here would define Oprah and the woman she bends towards as the key players, getting the main attention and interest as the others pose around them, with the status implications diminishing as you work towards the perimeter of the group."

Judi continued: "In any group photo, it’s the ones that have to lean in from the outer edges to get into the frame at all that tends to be lowest in status. That’s where we find Harry, leaning in along with Meghan to make sure he is even featured."

This observation comes amid reports reflecting the limbo in which the ex-working royals find themselves in. With the 2023 Invictus Games in the history books, attention has turned to where the royal rebels will go next. The pair still have roughly 18 months left in their $100 million Netflix deal and have only produced one hit and one flop so far. Experts claim that both will need to ramp up content production if they expect to receive the full payout.

For King Charles III and Diana, Princess of Wales' youngest son, the future seems uneventful from what his past life used to consistently reflect. Before the drama of "Megxit" kicked off in early 2020, the fifth in line to the throne was always ranked highly in British opinion polls... until now.

"Harry would have been central to almost any photo back in the U.K.," James added." Apart from the infamous photo of the late Queen with her three direct heirs that is rumored to have provided an extra push to him leaving the Firm."

She concluded: "Therefore, he might be right to be wearing this slightly distant gaze and tight-lipped smile."

This news comes amid claims by many royal experts that the main interest in Harry and Meghan as a non-working royal couple is their dishing of royal secrets and the drama they can whip up.
