'This Royal Family member would make the best BBC Traitor - and it's not Andrew'
Ahead of the all-important Celebrity Traitors final airing on BBC One tomorrow night, the royal family member most likely to win as a Traitor has been unveiled.
The countdown for the first-ever Celebrity Traitors final is on - with the gripping episode airing on BBC One tomorrow night (Thursday, October 6) at 9pm. The series has been attracting millions of viewers with every episode, and everyone is eager to know if Alan Carr and Cat Burns will win as Traitors or if the Faithful will be the victors. The remaining Faithfuls are Nick Mohammed, Joe Marler and David Olusoga.
Ahead of the finale, body language expert Darren Stanton has ranked members of the royal family based on who he thinks would excel if they ended up on the programme. He claimed the "best" Traitor would be Meghan Markle, who has been part of the royal family since marrying Prince Harry in 2018. The pair were senior members of the family before stepping back and moving to California, where they currently reside with their two young children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Speaking on behalf of Betfair Slots, Darren shared: "Coming in at the top spot, I’d say Megan would make the best Traitor. A lot of that comes from her background as an actress; she’s highly skilled at presenting a character, maintaining a story, and adapting to different situations."
He said she's had experience managing a public persona while navigating social dynamics, which gives her a natural ability to stay composed.
Darren added: "I think she’d have no trouble crafting a believable backstory to gain trust and build rapport with the other contestants. She could maintain a façade convincingly throughout the game, which would make her an incredibly strong contender. It would be fascinating to see her in action in this context, really."
Close behind on Darren's list is Queen Camilla, whose years of experience and natural rapport-building "would make her a formidable contender".
He shared: "I’m not saying that in a negative way, but I do think she’d be very capable in a game like Traitors. She’d know how to build trust, earn confidence, and then, when the time was right, make her move."
The least likely to be powerful Traitors on Darren's list are Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice. He explained: "They strike me as straightforward and genuine, which is admirable, but not ideal for being a successful Traitor.
"So, in terms of their ability to think strategically, bend reality, or keep up a complex front, I’d say Eugenie and Beatrice would sit firmly at the bottom of my list."
Celebrity Traitors airs tomorrow night at 9pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
