Queen realised Harry and Duchess gave up royal life for good after taking loved

Meghan & Harry ‘could not be further away’ from ‘loyal’ royal image

According to a royal author, Meghan and Harry’s approach to royal life “could not be further away” than one of Princess Anne and Sophie, Countess of Wessex’s.

According to Pauline Maclaran, co-author of who wrote Royal Fever: The British Monarchy in Consumer Culture, she claims the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are a direct contrast with the likes of Sophie Wessex and Princess Anne.

Maclaren told Express.co.uk: “Both Sophie Wessex and Princess Anne have been steadfastly loyal in their service to the queen and both maintain a dignified position in the public eye.

“They have both had reputational hiccups in the past. Sophie had the “fake sheikh” scandal to deal with and Princess Anne had her divorce from Mark Phillips.

“However, now they have both carved images as traditional royal women who are conscientious in their duties and careful not to embarrass the monarchy.

“Their brand images could not be further away from the break-away Sussex brand aimed at Generation Z.

“Princess Anne and Sophie Wessex manage to steer clear of controversy because they understand better the requirements of the job and are more willing to sacrifice their own personalities in service to the Queen.

“Meghan and Harry have been much keener to ensure they put across their own identities even when it may have been judged inappropriate (the Oprah interview etc.) and they are very clearly trying to build their own brand, which Princess Anne and Sophie are not.”
