Disappointment within the British royal family swirls as Prince Harry and Meghan step away from royal duties
It is not immediately clear how Harry, 35 and sixth in line to the throne, and Meghan, 38, will become what royal biographers said was effectively “half-royal” - and who will pay for their transatlantic lifestyles.
“What really annoys me,” said Arthur Edwards, veteran photographer for the Sun tabloid, “is that you can’t really have your cake and eat it. You can’t one minute be in America or Canada, next minute be in London.Daily Mirror royal editor Russell Myers said Harry and Meghan might fall out with the rest of the family: “There will be certain repercussions, I imagine, for everyone involved.”
But the haste of the decision raises questions for a family that, in Elizabeth’s words, has had a “quite bumpy” year - not least because of her son Prince Andrew’s decision to step back due to his relationship with the wealthy convicted U.S. sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. “Perhaps she’d have to be careful about what roles she’d do because she is a member of the royal family - so she couldn’t do too many racy sex scenes, for instance,” said royal biographer Penny Junor.
