Meghan Markle will not change the monarchy.

There is no doubt that the Duchess of Sussex is a strong force. Many noticed her dedication and impressive work ethic ever since she joined the royal family, prompting many to ask if she could change the traditional monarchy due to the non-traditional things she brought in the royal family. According to royal historian Adrian Tinniswood that is unlikely because Markle is “not important enough” to make a difference.

“She’s got a really hard job. The brutal thing is the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are not going to make that much difference,” Tinniswood told Express.

“People have asked me will Meghan modernise the monarchy? Well no she won't because she's fleeting. She's not that important and because of that, they've got a lot more freedom.”

Tinniswood talked about Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon. According to him, they had a fairly bohemian lifestyle and everyone thought they were the modern face of the monarchy. He agreed that they were in a way, but it did not change things because they were never going to be king and queen.

Tinniswood added that Prince Philip has his own struggles because he is married to the Queen but he is not a king. Finding a role that is not a constitutional one is really difficult. Prince Harry and Markle kind of got a constitutional position because they are part of the royal family, but the Duke and Duchess of Sussex “are not part of the state machinery.”

According to palace aides, Prince Harry and Markle were told to “slow down” for months because the duchess didn’t finish her maternity leave and they had no summer break.

In related news, 2019 is considered by many as Queen Elizabeth II’s “annus horribilis 2” due to the different scandals that plagued the royal family so far. However, according to royal correspondent Richard Fitzwilliams this is an extremely great year for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. He added that Prince Willim and Kate Middleton are the monarch’s saving grace.
