Prince Harry, Meghan Model Themselves After Barack, Michelle Obama; Star Power Expected To Soar

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are taking inspiration from two of the most respected personalities in the United States, Barack, and Michelle Obama.

After announcing their decision to step back from their royal duties, Daily Mail revealed that the Sussexes have been in contact with the Obamas.

The ex-POTUS and the ex-FLOTUS’s star power soared further after they left the White House three years ago. Since then, Michelle has released a bestselling memoir. The Obamas have also been embarking on a lucrative global speaking tour.

Prince Harry and Markle reportedly want to release a memoir, and they also want to be able to do things that are close to their hearts without being limited by the royal duties and responsibilities.

A source said that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have discussed their plans to mimic the way that the Obamas had managed to build a successful but dignified life for themselves after the White House.

Barack and Michelle are reportedly supportive of what Prince Harry and Markle want. After all, they have all been friends for years.

“They have found huge commercial success without actually looking like they are getting their hands dirty, to put it bluntly, and retaining their popularity. In fact, it is fair to say that their star has soared since leaving the White House, particularly Michelle’s, and this is something Meghan admires very, very much,” the source said.

Meanwhile, Barack and Michelle aren’t the only personalities supporting Prince Harry and Markle’s decision to step back from their royal duties. Oprah Winfrey also released a statement saying that she cares about the royal couple and supports whatever decision they make for the sake of their family.

However, Winfrey denied the allegations suggesting that she was the one who encouraged the royal couple to quit.

“Meg and Harry do not need my help in figuring out what’s best for them,” she said.
