Meghan Markle and Prince Harry sparked chaos within the Royal Family recently with their explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey. The couple reiterated their desire for financial independence which has seen them sign deals with Netflix and Spotify. Royal commentator Richard Eden has said the royals will be compared to the Sussexes in future years as they set up a “rival Royal Family” in the US.

Speaking to Palace Confidential on MailPlus, Mr Eden said: “I think that for years to come, William and Kate will be defined by Harry and Meghan as well.

“There is something of a rival Royal Family really that Harry and Meghan are making an effort to establish.

“They will be rivals across the water.

“We’ve already started to see that since Harry and Meghan left Britain that William and Kate are showing that they’re the serious ones, they’re the ones who will be King and Queen.

“They don’t need to lark around.

“I don’t think William now would never do something like the James Corden, entertainment route.

“He has flirted with laddish events in the past with Peter Crouch but I think now he would probably reconsider and is taking a more serious role and will be seen increasingly as very different from Harry and Meghan across the water.”

It comes as William felt like his brother had “blindsided” the Queen and behaved in an “insulting and disrespectful way,” following the surprise launch of the SussexRoyal website last year, according to a senior royal source.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s announcement, outlining their own plans for the future, upset William greatly ahead of a royal family meeting to negotiate the terms of “Megxit,” the Sunday Times magazine reported.

Following a decree from the Queen, the couple conceded that they could not use the word “royal” for personal projects, but said that the monarchy had “no jurisdiction” overseas.

A royal source told the Sunday Times that the content of Harry and Meghan’s response had been “staggering”.

“That was it for William, he felt they’d blindsided the Queen in such an insulting and disrespectful way,” they said.

Friends of the Duke also denied claims made by Harry during his interview with Oprah Winfrey that William felt “trapped” as a royal.

“He has a path set for him and he’s completely accepting of his role. He is very much his grandmother’s grandson in that respect of duty and service,” they told the Sunday Times.

He was reported to be unhappy when the Queen was asked to prorogue Parliament in 2019, which was later deemed to be unlawful by the Supreme Court.

Under William’s rule there would be a “more private, robust challenging of advice,” the source said.
