In a surprising twist of royal fate, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have found themselves overshadowed by none other than Prince Andrew. While the world has been captivated by the couple's high-profile activities, they've apparently tumbled down the royal hierarchy, landing just below Andrew, who has had his fair share of scandalous headlines. It seems the universe has a wicked sense of humor, and Meghan and Harry are the punchline.
According to the royal family's official website, Meghan and Harry now occupy the unfortunate position of being the last royals on the list. They've been relegated to the royal equivalent of the kids' table at Thanksgiving dinner. Even Prince Andrew, the infamous figure who has been the subject of numerous controversies, ranks higher than the Sussexes. At the top of the royal website sits King Charles and Queen Camilla, followed by the beloved Prince and Princess of Wales. But lurking at the very bottom, like unwelcome guests, are Meghan and Harry.
If that wasn’t enough to serve them a slice of humble pie, their individual biographies have been combined into one joint profile. This embarrassing move highlights just how far they’ve fallen; every other royal has their own dedicated page, while Meghan and Harry’s biography seems unworthy of standing on its own two feet. The only thing worse than being at the bottom of the royal ladder is sharing a profile page with your spouse—especially when your former yacht buddy, Prince Andrew, enjoys a shining solo entry.
It’s almost as if Buckingham Palace is sending a message: “You wanted to leave us? Well, here’s your place in the royal pecking order—below even the disgraced prince.” The mockery doesn’t end there. Recent polls reveal that Meghan and Harry are now the least popular royals, with Harry scoring a mere 26% in positive opinions against a staggering 62% negative. Meanwhile, Meghan fares even worse, with a positive score of 22% and a negative of 65%. It’s almost comical how they’ve managed to become more disliked than Andrew; when the only person less popular than you is a prince with serious allegations against him, you know you’re in deep trouble.
And let’s not overlook the clever ways the royal family continues to poke fun at them. Remember earlier this year when Meghan tried to overshadow Princess Catherine’s return to public life by launching a line of jam and dog biscuits? Instead of making a splash, her product launch fizzled out faster than a soggy biscuit. Meanwhile, in a masterstroke of royal humor, Buckingham Palace launched their own pet merchandise, which sold out almost immediately. It’s as if they’re saying, “You wanted to make a splash? Here’s your reality check.”
Meghan and Harry’s recent endeavors, filled with attempts at grandeur and celebrity, increasingly resemble a farcical play where they are the unwitting comedians. With every misstep, they seem to forget that the royal family doesn’t just tolerate them; they’ve become their favorite punchline.
As they continue to grapple with their new status as the royal family's bottom dwellers, one can only wonder what’s next for the Sussexes. Will they launch another global business venture, or perhaps try their hand at reality TV? Whatever it is, one thing is clear: Meghan and Harry have become the royal family’s ultimate joke, with Andrew just the cherry on top of their humiliating sundae.
