Meghan Markle, who reportedly harboured a desire to regain a position within the royal family even after moving to the US with Prince Harry, has been given a new “title” amid speculation about her royal role. King Charles appears to have taught the Duchess of Sussex a lesson with his strategic move, giving more value and opportunities to the working royal.
In a clear shift in focus, Meghan’s potential role within the royal family has been filled by a dedicated royal who is winning hearts with her devotion to the monarchy. Duchess of Edinburgh Sophie has been described as an “achiever,” and her remarkable status has been made evident at official royal events. Sophie’s commitment to her duties has won her admiration, in stark contrast to Meghan’s situation.
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams said that unlike Meghan, who is “self-obsessed,” Sophie prefers to “get on with it.” The commentator continued: “(The Duchess of Edinburgh) is very down to earth, which is vital, but without attracting adverse publicity,” he said. Daily Mail.
“Sophie is the one who has achieved her goals. In recent years she has visited Kosovo, South Sudan, Iraq and Ukraine, as well as the Democratic Republic of Congo and other African countries, and has visited victims of gender-based violence. “Sophie is active on the ground in this area, as demonstrated by her visit to Sierra Leone in 2020, which is an excellent example of what active members of the royal family can achieve.”
Fitzwilliams continued: “Her (Sophie’s) temperament is very different to Meghan’s. The latter, while not without talent, is self-centred and reportedly temperamental.” Praising the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, the commentator said: “Sophie is linked to almost 70 organisations. Meghan only had a few patronages, Harry had a few more (and) they decided to give them up to start a new life elsewhere.”
Meanwhile, Meghan has been given a new “title” by an expert who has branded her with a new name. “Sophie and Edward do not seek publicity or praise. Like Princess Anne, they get along, are reliable, do a lot of good and not just for themselves, as the Sussexes often seem to do,” the expert commented, highlighting the different approaches within the royal family.
Across the Atlantic, Prince Harry has suffered a major setback in the United States. A petition to prevent him from receiving an award has gathered 50,000 signatures, indicating growing public discontent with his and Meghan’s actions since stepping back from royal duties.
King Charles’ decision to elevate working royals like Sophie over Meghan appears to be a calculated move to strengthen the core of the monarchy. As Sophie continues to gain favor and recognition, Meghan’s influence within the royal circle appears to be waning.
Meghan and Sophie’s contrasting fortunes highlight the changing dynamics within the royal family. While Meghan’s quest for a new role remains elusive, Sophie’s dedication and hard work have cemented her place within the monarchy, earning her widespread respect.
