Meghan Markle and Prince Harry‘s “faux household” move has been reportedly sparked by the Duke of Sussex’s “upsetting” realisation his popularity has plunged and that “American” strategies haven’t worked for him so far. The couple, who stepped down as senior working royals in 2020, have reportedly dramatically revamped their staff structure in a drastic new move.
The move is set to echo the hierarchical system that has underpinned the Royal Family for decades – with the pair each having their own chief of staff as part of the restructuring. This comes after a major realisation for the Duke, 40, that “anything Hollywood and American basically hasn’t worked for him”, according to a commentator. Speaking to GB News, the Mail on Sunday’s Editor at Large Charlotte Griffiths, who described the new court in Montecity as a “faux household”, said: “So apparently Harry has looked at the latest polls that put him down at 27%, and he’s upset by it. A source really close to him told me that he’s realised there’s nowhere to go but up. So what he’s done is he’s decided what hasn’t been working. And that’s the US, Hollywood PR agents. Just anything Hollywood and American basically hasn’t worked for him.”
