Royal Commentator: ‘The Royal Family Can’t Match Harry and Meghan’ Publicity’ Amid Rising Influence”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly achieving significant success, while the Royal Family struggles to maintain the same level of public attention. These observations were shared by royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams during an interview with The Sun.

Fitzwilliams highlighted the challenges faced by the Royal Family in capturing public interest compared to the Sussexes. He pointed out, “The problem with the Royal Family at the moment is that they are simply not able to do something which attracts attention on the same level, and attention is important if you’re royal.”

While acknowledging the hard work of other royals, Fitzwilliams noted that their efforts often go unnoticed by the broader public. “Of course, the Princess Royal and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and others do sterling work and carry out visits abroad. But they are not particularly high profile and I don’t think they particularly want to be,” he said. This lack of high-profile engagement poses a challenge for the Royal Family as they attempt to stay relevant in a rapidly changing world.

Fitzwilliams further discussed the potential impact of Harry and Meghan’s upcoming trip to Cambodia. He warned that the couple’s activities could overshadow those of the Royal Family, drawing even more public attention to their initiatives. “It’s going to take an enormous amount of publicity, and the Royal Family will not be able to match that in any way that I can foresee,” Fitzwilliams stated.

This commentary underscores the difficulties the Royal Family faces in maintaining their influence in the public sphere, particularly in the wake of the Sussexes’ continued media presence. As Harry and Meghan carve out their own path, the Royal Family may find it increasingly challenging to compete for public attention, which is crucial to their ongoing relevance and influence.
