Battle of the Montecito Egos: Prince Harry Warned of Meghan Markle's 'Spotlight Stealing' Return to Britain If Duchess Attends Upcoming Trip
Harry, Duke of Sussex, has been warned that Meghan Markle could "steal" his "spotlight" if she accompanies him to the U.K. in May.
"I think Harry's really outside the door when it comes to who is in the spotlight," royal expert Angela Levin told an outlet.
"[Canada] doesn't want Meghan taking over, she comes over, she does a speech, she does a second speech [and] she leads people down the paths, the winners," Levin added when discussing Meghan's possible chaos at the next Invictus Games.
She continued: "They say she knows nothing. about fighting and going in wars and it was Harry's job and I think they feel quite sorry for him. They're angry so I don't think Harry's got anything to look forward to really."
This insight comes amid the ex-actress having been advised to tread carefully with the rollout of her glossy new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, amid Kate, Princess of Wales' cancer diagnosis.
"As Meghan is no longer part of the monarchy, she is free to launch her brand whenever she likes," PR expert Lynn Carratt dished. "However, given Kate's ongoing cancer treatments, it would be wise for Meghan to be sensitive to the timing of her brand launch, considering the public support for Kate worldwide."
"And I think it's that extraordinary attitude that she knows better than anyone. She thinks of herself as globally... she's made a mess," Levin observed about the Duchess of Sussex.
The former actress and her prince have not been in Britain together as a couple since Queen Elizabeth II's state funeral in September 2022. One palace insider stepped forward to reveal that "the long amount of time that has passed since the snob graced us with her presence will guarantee a media frenzy with her oaf" if Meghan joins her husband in May. The Duke of Sussex will be the main attraction at St Paul's Cathedral for a 10th-anniversary celebration of his Invictus Games.
The potential battle of the Sussex egos comes amid insider reports that criticized the Suits star for promoting her new lifestyle brand while the Princess of Wales battles cancer.
If Meghan were to go "full throttle" with her brand publicity campaign in the wake of the future queen's revelation, Her Royal Highness' fans would likely "tear the brand apart even worse than it already is," one critical palace insider revealed.
They added: "American Riviera Orchard is the most pathetic sounding thing I have heard in a long while. She was a literal princess and duchess, with the admiration of millions upon millions at her fingertips. Now, she is right back to struggling in Hollywood, hawking a Goop rip-off for profit. How sad is that?"
