When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped back from their royal duties in 2020, they probably assumed their problems were, if not over, then at least coming to an end. The famous couple memorably shared with Oprah Winfrey, during a groundbreaking interview, how tough their time in the U.K. had been, from dealing with allegedly racist family members to being relentlessly picked apart by the press wherever they went (via Insider). And yet, speaking up about their experience and moving to the States has only placed Meghan and Harry further under the microscope. 

Between scoring high-profile deals with the likes of Spotify and Netflix (via BBC) and writing books from their own unique perspectives (via Vanity Fair), no matter what the Duke and Duchess of Sussex do, somebody is always waiting in the wings to criticize them for it. In fact, although Meghan and Harry were condemned for complaining about their lack of security after giving up their royal status, they’ve also been criticized for trying to earn their own money to pay for it. It seems like the two can’t win and, if this expert is to be believed, the worst might be yet to come for them.

Bullen elaborated, “And he was paid a fortune at the time … It had a tremendous impact. So, what kind of impact will Harry now have?” Bullen has been working on a documentary about the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and reckons it should serve as a warning to Meghan and Harry about how their future could turn out since Edward and Wallis eventually “faded into obscurity and became bit players on the world stage.” As the royal commentator asked, “How long will Harry and Meghan Markle’s value stay at such a high level?”  Bullen’s comments echo those from fellow royal expert Katie Nicholl, who previously warned  that Meghan and Harry’s currency might be running out.
