It has been debated whether Harry and Meghan should be classified as "others" or not. These two people, who were previously important roles in Buckingham Palace, are now separated from the majority of the royal family. Reactions to their decision to cease serving as working members in 2020 were divided. They've been engaged in activities since then that
It's clear that they're not shying away from the spotlight, even though they've taken a step back. Prince Andrew, too, has found himself in the "others" category, and this decision hasn't come without its own share of controversy. His association with the Epstein scandal and his distance from royal duties have prompted questions about his place within the family. Many are left wondering if this placement is a consequence of past actions or a strategic move.
One of the most shocking developments in recent times is the alteration of Meghan's name on her children's birth certificates. Reports indicate that a name was replaced by a royal title. Notably, this change wasn't at Meghan's request but was directed by the palace, according to officials. This action is unprecedented and has raised questions about the lengths to which the palace is willing to go in distancing itself from the Sussexes. Interestingly, in the case of Kate Middleton's children, no such changes were made, and Kate was allowed to use her own name as the mother of her three children, all of whom were born before Archie. This inconsistency hasn't gone unnoticed.
The decision to categorize members of the royal family has ignited a firestorm. Grant Harold, King Charles's former butler, has observed a shift in recent events. Occasions like the Trooping the Colour balcony appearance showcased a more selective group compared to the crowded balconies of Queen Elizabeth II's era. This highlights the ongoing shift.
