Prince Harry is reported to have opined that Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, possesses the qualities to lead the royal family into modernity, according to royal biographer Angela Levin.
In an interview with Uncancelled’s Dan Wooton, Levin delved into the couple’s perspectives on the monarchy’s need for updates and Meghan’s potential role in such a transformation.
Harry] thinks that it was very bad that Meghan wasn’t questioned about what should be done to make the royal family up to date,” Angela said in the interview published on Monday, April 8, about the dynamic Prince Harry and Meghan shared with the firm before they moved to California.
And [Meghan] said herself that she felt that they should have asked her what should be done rather than Kate because she is a self-made woman and she’s got much more experience,” she went on.
Levin, who spent considerable time with Harry while penning the biography “Harry: Conversations with the Prince,” also reflected on Queen Elizabeth II’s efforts to accommodate the Sussexes within the royal fold. The late queen’s concessions, including offering top aides and allowing Meghan the flexibility to continue her acting career, highlighted attempts to integrate Meghan’s preferences into royal life.
However, Levin suggests a premeditated plan by Meghan to exit the royal setting, fueled by ambitions extending beyond her royal title and financial expectations.
The biographer further critiqued the Sussexes’ motives, accusing them of aiming to dismantle the traditional royal framework and alter media dynamics, particularly the print press. Harry’s legal battles against media entities over privacy violations and defamation underscore his contentious relationship with the press, aligning with Levin’s portrayal of a broader strategy to reshape media engagement.
