Prince Harry and Meghan’s 'biggest problem' exposed by palace source before royal exit
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's public role has been difficult to define since their dramatic move to the US, according to a royal correspondent
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's "biggest problems" were revealed by a palace source prior to the couple's shock move to the US, a royal expert has claimed.
In a July episode of Vanity Fair's Dynasty podcast, entitled 'The Truth About Meghan, Harry, and Their California Dream', the publication's royal correspondent, Katie Nicholl, discussed the Sussexes' current public role.
Katie was asked if Harry and Meghan were simply celebrities, royals, influencers, advocates, or philanthropists, but the royal expert said the true answer is difficult to "pin down".
She said: "Well, I think it's all of the above. It's everything that you mentioned and it's quite hard to pin them down in terms of what they do because they're not working royals anymore.
"They're so much more than just celebrities. Clearly, philanthropy is this umbrella under which they want to exist, but then you get American Riviera Orchard thrown into all of that, which sort of then slightly throws a question mark over what they're doing."
Katie continued: "And I always remember being told by one of the most senior aides in the run-up to them leaving when I was just trying to find out and trying to understand where it all went wrong.
"And this person said to me one of the biggest problems with them is they had so many brilliant ideas - they were always bursting with energy and hatching new projects over the dinner table and wanting everything done yesterday.
"But it all felt very scattergun and I think it's very hard to sort of pin down and say, 'Who are they? What are they?' What exactly they do."
Harry and Meghan stepped away from their royal duties in 2020 and moved to California with their two children, Archie and Lilibet, in a move branded 'Megxit' - leaving fans shocked.

The couple have embarked on a number of projects since their royal exit, launching the Archewell Foundation, a not-for-profit, in 2020, with the latest involving child mental health advocacy.
Harry and Meghan this month landed praise from their supporters for committing to helping children with their mental health following the circulation of the pair's latest interview.
However, it marks a slight reprieve from the criticism faced by the Sussexes for two more controversial projects that contributed to an ongoing rift in the Royal Family.
It began in 2021 when the couple gave a bombshell interview to Oprah Winfrey, in which they levelled accusations of racism and bullying against the Royals.
It was followed by a tell-all Netflix series, 'Harry and Meghan', and the release of Harry's 2023 memoir, 'Spare', in which the Duke opened up about his feud with Prince William and strained relationship with his father, King Charles.
In June, the ongoing dispute was evidenced by Harry facing a trio of royal humiliations.
According to royal biographer Emily Andrews, Harry wasn't invited to Trooping the Colour.
Harry was also unable to meet with his father as the monarch reportedly couldn't fit him into his schedule, and he was supposedly "uninvited" to the Duke of Westminster's "wedding of the year".
