Meghan Markle and Prince Harry appear to be having a successful 2024 to date. The couple just wrapped up their royal tour of Colombia, during which Meghan revealed their daughter Princess Lilibet has "found her voice." However, in the wake of the royal tour, some critics have questioned Meghan and Harry's motives, and suggested there may be trouble ahead for the Sussexes.
According to the Express, royal historian Hugo Vickers spoke about Meghan and Harry on The Times' The Royals With Roya and Kate podcast. Discussing the changes that have taken place in Prince Harry's life, Vickers said, "It’s very difficult because he is part of an extraordinary institution and then suddenly he’s cut free from that, he’s gone off on his own, it’s a brave step into an unknown world."
Vickers also questioned Meghan and Harry's long term plan now that they live in the United States. "What worries me is that I think, whenever I see images of Range Rovers and things coming to the airport and security people, that’s jolly expensive," he explained. "And they’ve got to keep moving the whole time to finance this life. And I’ve been to Montecito, and that’s pretty and lush and expensive, too."
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry visited Colombia in August 2024.
During his podcast appearance, Vickers also suggested that Meghan and Harry may face some challenges in the future. "Unless they keep coming up with new initiatives and new goods, they’re going to disappear like so many other celebrities," he claimed. "Once that happens I think the future is going to look rather bleak."
Of course, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have made their aims perfectly clear, thanks to their recent royal tour. While visiting Colombia, Meghan spoke about the importance of online personal safety, and the couple met "smart and savvy" students at a charter school. Aside from some minor criticisms from royal experts and historians, Meghan and Harry seem to be working hard to make positive changes in the world. Fans of the couple will be extremely excited to see whatever the Sussexes do next.
