Royal expert Shannon Felton Spence further explained that Prince Harry and Markle’s behavior it’s “akin to quitting your job and expecting the company to still pay your benefits.”
“All they want is part of the benefits package at work,” Spence said. “They left the job.”
Spence pointed out that Harry’s decision to walk away of the royal family and undertaking a mission to become financially independent is not necessarily a bad thing, especially since he is fifth in line to the throne. If Harry found a successful way to be independent from the monarchy, it could be used by others, namely Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
“It’s not so bad that Harry wants to find another way of life for himself. [fifth] in line for the throne,” Spence explained. “The survival of the monarchy depends on a more streamlined royal family. If he could find a way to really get out of life as a royal and be financially independent without damaging the institution, that would be a huge win. In fact, he would benefit Charlotte and Louis in the future by providing a road map of what’s possible once he’s too far down the line of succession.
“But that’s not what they wanted. They wanted all the freedom and perks. And that’s not the job. So now it’s more of a mess than ever.”
