Meghan Markle always had plans to become a “superstar” and would not have been happy living the “quiet” life of a Royal Family member, a royal commentator has claimed.
Before she and Prince Harry left the Firm, there was talk of them becoming “half-in half-out” royals – supporting the late Queen but also working and earning independent salaries.
This drew comparisons between Meghan and Princess Beatrice and Eugenie, who both have normal jobs as well as attending royal events.
However, royal commentator Jane Barr claimed that Meghan would not have been satisfied with this strategy, as she always “wanted to be a superstar” and had her sights set on bigger things.

She wrote in the From Berkshire to Buckingham newsletter: “She [Meghan] would not have been happy with the ultimately quiet or truly independent/non-royal lives that William and Harry’s cousins actually live.

Looking back to Megxit, Harry was not just the grandson of the Queen, the same relationship all his cousins had to the sovereign, he was the son of the future King.”
Barr also claimed that Prince Harry had become a “spare” in the Royal Family, creating a feeling of bitterness and adding to his list of reasons to leave the family with Meghan.
After years of being treated as a senior member of the Firm, the Duke became “bitter”, according to Barr, before leaving the UK permanently and settling in the US.
She continued: “William and Harry were — from birth — preeminent royals, while their cousins, although celebrated, surely, began as secondary royals and only continued to fade as the years went by.
“Harry seems so bitter about being the spare, but he has always been quite senior to his cousins, and treated accordingly.”
Prince Harry and Meghan were untimately not allowed to adopt the “half-in half-out” strategy by Queen Elizabeth, which their fans slammed as unfair, maintaining that it could’ve worked.
