Speaking to The Sun, Duncan said: “Whether William and Kate like it or not, they are now international players in a transatlantic popularity contest with their own flesh and blood.

“Harry and Meghan have shown that modern royalty will only survive if it is absolutely at the cutting edge of social media and their profiles play into the narrative of the cult of the celebrity.”

He added: “Clearly William and Kate are quite clear they need to do more to sell themselves as a couple, family and personalities.”
