Prince William and Kate Middleton’s absence from the public eye during Kate’s cancer treatment has fueled concerns that their authority within the royal family is dwindling. Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan’s recent tour of Nigeria has raised eyebrows among some insiders, who see it as an attempt to overshadow the more senior royals. Royal expert Tom Quinn believes that William and Kate are ‘terrified’ of Harry and Meghan ‘continuing to organize trips across the world until they are seen as the public face of the royal family’. Quinn points out that William, who is unable to compete with Meghan and Harry’s glamorous lifestyle, is acutely aware of the potential damage to their reputation if they continue to outshine him and Kate. He adds that Meghan is well aware of the positive publicity that can be generated by featuring their children on royal tours, which will help them achieve their goal of becoming ‘billionaire entrepreneurs’. As the Sussexes continue to forge their own path outside the royal family, it remains unclear how this will impact the dynamic between the two royal couples in the long run.
