Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are establishing their own Royal Family in the US that will rival the British royals, according to one expert.
Richard Eden, writer and royal commentator, has said he believes Prince William and Kate Middleton will be defined “for years to come” by what the Duke and Duchess of Sussex do across the Atlantic.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to rival British royals?
In a chat with MailPlus’ Palace Confidential, Richard said: “I think that for years to come, William and Kate will be defined by Harry and Meghan as well.

He continued: “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.”
William now ‘more serious’
Speaking further, the royal expert said he thinks William has changed since his brother and sister-in-law moved to the US.
He explained that he doesn’t think the Duke of Cambridge would ever do a show like host James Corden‘s, as Harry did.
There is something of a rival Royal Family really that Harry and Meghan are making an effort to establish.
William has “flirted with laddish events in the past” he said, using Peter Crouch’s podcast as an example. However, he thinks William would now “reconsider” doing anything down the “entertainment route” as he is taking a “more serious role”.
William, Richard said, seems “increasingly… very different from Harry and Meghan” over in the US.
