Prince Harry claims Meghan’s popularity ‘upset’ other members of royal family

In a pointed moment in the fourth episode of the Netflix Harry & Meghan documentary, Harry says “The issue is when someone who is marrying in, who should be a supporting act, is then stealing the limelight, or doing the job better than the person who was born to do this, that upsets people. It shifts the balance.”

Over a montage featuring Kate, now the Princess of Wales and the now King Charles III, Harry continues “You’ve been led to believe that the only way your charities can succeed, and the only way that your reputation can be grown or improved, is if you are on the front pages of those newspaper. But the media are the one to choose who to put on the front page.”

Meghan’s friend Lucy Fraser says that she thinks the Australia tour was a turning point because they were so popular with the public . “The internals at the palace” did not like it, she conjectures during an interview.
