Prince Harry Worries About 'Fading Out' As 'Irrelevant Royal' When Prince George Turns 18, Megyn Kelly Claims
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made headlines again after using their royal title for their new website, prompting one journalist to claim the Duke of Sussex is afraid of "fading out."
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex quit their royal duties in 2020 to be financially independent of the royal family. They said they wouldn't use their royal titles for gains but recently launched their new website, sussex.com.
American journalist Megyn Kelly joined Paul Murray on Sky News Australia's "Paul Murray Live" and weighed in on the matter. According to her, the Sussexes love the press but do not want the bad stuff. She also spoke about Prince Harry's alleged fear.
"Harry's biggest fear is that he's about to become irrelevant as soon as Prince George is 18. He's got a limited window to be relevant," Kelly claimed.
"He's not worried about [the] press, he's worried about fading out as an irrelevant royal. He loves it, she loves it [the press], they just don't like the bad stuff. Well, guess what it's called being a public figure. Grow up and deal with it."
Prince George is the second in line to the throne, as Prince William and Kate Middleton's eldest child. His siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, are third and fourth in line, respectively, pushing Prince Harry further down the line of succession at the fifth spot. When Prince George grows older and starts his own family, Prince Harry will be pushed even further down the line of succession.
Meanwhile, the Sussexes received an intense backlash for their new website because many felt they were returning to their royal roots and using their ties with the British royal family for their business. The Duchess of Sussex just announced that she would return to making podcasts after parting ways with Spotify, but this time with Lemonada.
Murray seemingly slammed the deal, noting that "there's not a lot of there," suggesting that the royal couple has nothing more to offer, to which Kelly agreed.
"Oh my gosh, there's nothing honestly," she exclaimed. "These two people are boring; there's nothing to hold on to."
She criticized the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for their strategy, noting that as royals, they were only supposed to represent the history and tradition of the British family. However, things allegedly went "downhill" when they started talking against the royal family, referring to their interview with Oprah Winfrey, Netflix docuseries "Harry & Meghan" and the duke's memoir, "Spare."
"It's been a retread of old whiny grievances," Kelly said on what she heard from the Sussexes and told them to "give us something new."
