Why Harry and Meghan's departure is a blessing for Kate and William
The departure of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry was like a thunderclap. But it also allowed Kate Middleton and Prince William to take more responsibility.
The royal family is suffering from the precipitous departures of some of its members? No problem, Kate Middleton and Prince William come into play. After the departure of the Sussexes, the couple is busier than ever, and takes up space within the Firm.
As reported by the Daily Mail on Wednesday, July 8, journalist Duncan Larcombe told True Royalty TV that "despite all the noise that Meghan and Harry are making, the reality is that William and Kate have a pretty important job to do." The Megxit, and to some extent Prince Andrew's involvement in the Epstein saga, "gives them space." "William and Kate have the space to focus on the mission they need to accomplish. I think they are doing well at the moment," adds the royal expert, a former royal reporter for the Sun.
The Cambridges have been very active in 2020. And for good reason: they are one of the few senior members of the royal family who can still fully ensure their official commitments. In January, Prince Harry and Meghan announced they were stepping down from royal duties. A decision that Prince Andrew was also forced to take a few months earlier, as a result of his catastrophic handling of Storm Epstein.
In March, the coronavirus immobilized the older members of the firm: Queen Elizabeth only spoke a few times in recorded speeches, and Prince Charles, 71, was immobilized for several weeks after contracting the disease . If Sophie of Wessex sometimes plays the role of Meghan Markle, the Cambridges take center stage. Enough to prove that they will be good monarchs.
