Meghan Markle 'not cut out for service life' and 'driving force is to capitalise on fame'

It’s been a busy year for the Duchess of Sussex, but one Royal expert has claimed that she’s not ‘cut out for a life of service’.

Despite stepping back from Royal duties four years ago, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have remained incredibly active. This year has seen a flurry of activities for them, including the revival of Prince Harry’s Invictus Games, the unveiling of Meghan’s lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard, and a tour of Nigeria.

However, despite their busy schedule, which includes celebrating Meghan’s birthday on Sunday, August 4, there is a distinct difference in the type of work they undertake. One Royal expert suggests that Meghan may not be entirely suited to a life of service, reports the Mirror.

In an interview with OK!Magazine, former BBC Royal editor Jennie Bond said: “I suspect that Meghan is a commercial woman with philanthropic ideas aplenty… but her driving force is to capitalise on her fame and ensure she and Harry have enough money for all their needs.”

“I’m not quite convinced that she is totally signed up to a ‘life of service’ so I imagine there will be occasional forays into charity work and makeshift royal tours but I think she is a businesswoman at heart. And, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that!”

Unlike Prince Harry’s late mother Diana, Princess of Wales who passionately campaigned for the eradication of landmines post-royalty or Sarah, Duchess of York who continues to use her platform for good, Jennie believes that Meghan’s interests lie elsewhere. Her focus now appears to be firmly on building a good life for her husband and children.

While the ongoing family feud with her estranged father Thomas Markle and Harry’s own Royal rift may still be a burden behind closed doors, Jennie suggests that Meghan is not one to dwell on the past but rather focuses on the future.

“Meghan has made her feelings about Royal life abundantly clear and appears to be looking forward rather than dwelling on the past,” Jennie says. “She has said her piece about life with the royals and now she has moved on.”

Family being at the core of everything she does, it is anticipated that both her two children and devoted husband Prince Harry will play a significant role in her birthday celebrations this Sunday.

“I think Meghan will be a happy bunny as she reaches her 43rd birthday,” pondered the former BBC journalist. “She has managed to have two children in quick succession, she has a prince for a husband, a royal title without having the bother of a royal life, a mansion for a home, a life in sunny California and a stratospheric level of fame. What is there to grumble about? “.

Jennie went on to speculate how the day might unfold, suggesting it will start with some “early morning yoga” followed by a quick “cuddle with her babies” while Harry whips up a delicious breakfast. She even hinted that perhaps granny Doria could be called upon to babysit, allowing the enamoured couple to celebrate together or with friends.
