Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been “sucking up to Hollywood royalty” albeit unsuccessfully, according to a royal commentator.

Richard Eden drew comparisons between the Duke and Duchess of Sus𝓈ℯ𝓍’s attempts to woo new celebrity friendship and Prince William’s easy relationship with big names such as American pop star Taylor Swift.

In a way, you could say [she is] paying court to Prince William whereas with Harry and Meghan, it’s the other way round. They’re the ones who seem to be always sucking up to Hollywood royalty.

As the Daily Beast reported, a source said: “There is a sense that William has stepped into the Prince Philip role. Philip ruled the family with a rod of iron…

“Now William is calling the shots when it comes to family discipline… He can be scary!”
