Harry and Meghan connected with younger audiences ‘not really there with the rest of the royal family,’ claims author

Author Catherine Mayer argued that the Sussexes had a broader appeal among younger audiences that is difficult for the remaining working royals to replicate.

Harry and Meghan connected with younger audiences ‘not really there with the rest of the royal family,’ claims author

Author Catherine Mayer contends that the departure of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from royal duties has caused significant damage to the British monarchy's ability to connect with younger generations. Mayer, who authored Divide & Rule, asserts that the split between the Sussexes and the royal family has resulted in a generational gap within the monarchy itself.

She maintains that the Sussexes had a broader appeal among younger audiences, which the remaining working royals, such as Prince William and Kate Middleton, struggle to replicate. Mayer also dismisses allegations of Meghan bullying palace staff, stating that she had become aware of tensions within the palace prior to the allegations surfacing.
