Meghan Markle has found herself facing yet another humiliation, as alleged former yacht buddy Prince Andrew is now ranked above her on the official Royal Family website. But what exactly does this mean?
The crux of the issue lies in the official Royal Family website, where Meghan and Harry now find themselves at the very bottom of the royal pecking order, trailing behind none other than Prince Andrew. This is a significant shift that highlights their diminished status within the monarchy.
On the website’s “Role of the Royal Family” page, you’ll find King Charles and Queen Camilla at the top, followed by the Prince and Princess of Wales. But scroll all the way down, and you’ll see the Duke and Duchess of Sussex listed below everyone, including Prince Andrew.
Adding to their embarrassment, Meghan and Harry don’t even have individual biographies like the rest of the royal family members. Instead, their profiles have been condensed into a single, joint biography. They are the only royal couple without separate profile pages, which really underscores their current standing in the royal hierarchy.
To illustrate, here’s a look at that official page. It features all the key royals—King Charles, Queen Camilla, and the Prince and Princess of Wales—while Meghan and Harry languish at the bottom. If they had any lingering doubts about their status within the royal family, those doubts have been definitively quelled.
The royal family has previously shown Meghan and Harry little mercy. Polls consistently reveal that they rank among the least popular royals. A recent YouGov poll from August 2024 placed them near the bottom, with only Prince Andrew being less favored.
In a more recent survey conducted in early October, the contrast between Meghan and other royals is striking. While King Charles and others enjoy overwhelmingly positive ratings, Meghan’s approval ratings are alarmingly low, with only 22% positive compared to a staggering 65% negative. Harry isn’t faring much better, sitting at 26% positive and 62% negative.
But wait, there’s more! The royal family seems to have a knack for subtly humiliating Meghan and Harry in clever ways. Earlier this year, as part of Meghan’s efforts to promote her brand, she released dog biscuits and jam. However, the royal family countered this marketing push with the release of a pet bowl that quickly sold out, further emphasizing their ongoing popularity.
To sum up, Meghan and Harry are enduring yet another humiliation at the hands of the royal family. Whether it’s their low ranking on the official website or their unpopularity in polls, it’s clear that their status has taken a hit.
