Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s decision to step back from their royal duties has reportedly left their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, facing a uncertain future in the United States. Royal expert Tom Quinn believes that the children’s status as half-royals will pose significant challenges for them as they grow up.
Quinn argues that while there may be some initial interest in the children due to their royal lineage, this interest will likely fade quickly in a country that values self-made success and determination over inherited privilege. He warns that the children may struggle to find a meaningful role in society as adults due to their lack of full royal status.
According to Quinn, the advantages of being half-royals in the United States will be outweighed by the difficulties Archie and Lilibet will face in finding a role as adults. He suggests that the children may become wayward due to the lack of guidance and structure that comes with being a full member of the royal family.
