Prince Harry, Meghan Markle's Relevance Is 'Shrinking' After George, Charlotte, Louis' Arrival: Report
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were seen together again in public during the Remembrance Day Service on Sunday. However, eagle-eyed fans noticed that the Duchess of Sussex stood afar from Queen Elizabeth, Kate Middleton and Camilla Parker-Bowles. The former “Suits” actress was seen watching the solemn ceremony from the balcony of another window outside the Cenotaph war memorial in London.
It was, previously, claimed that Royal family members arrange themselves according to a “pecking order” during official events. “She was not as prominent perhaps as some people might have expected, but there’s a pecking order,” Majesty magazine managing editor said to People. “There was no slight intended, but William being the older, more senior brother would go out [first] with his wife.”
While this is not the first time that Meghan did not stand with the senior Royals, some publications claimed the sitting position of Prince Harry and his wife from this weekend’s affair only shows their “shrinking” importance from a royal perspective. Most, if not all, followers of the Royal clan are aware that the arrival of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s children – Prince George, 5, Princess Charlotte, 4, and Prince Louis, 1 – pushed Harry to the sixth position in line to the throne.
News.com.au reported that, even in “The Crown” television series, the actors who portray Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will get "smaller" parts in its upcoming new seasons. It added that the relevance of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to royal longevity and seniority will continue to diminish should Prince William and Kate Middleton decide to add more members to their brood.
Meanwhile, the Sussex couple shared a heart-warming message on Instagram in support of rugby player Gareth Thomas, who was recently learned to be HIV positive. Prince Harry, reportedly, met the athlete at the Twickenham Stoop on Friday, Nov. 8.
After the meeting, the official Instagram account of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared photos of Prince Harry and Gareth together. “The Duke has been a longtime advocate of HIV awareness, and of eradicating the stigma surrounding the virus - an extension of his mother’s legacy. Not enough people know that thanks to the work of so many over the years, HIV is no longer a death sentence and testing for it is quick and easy,” a part of the caption read.
