From an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/instagram\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> relaunch, a new podcast, a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/netflix\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Netflix<\/a> series and <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/news\/royal\/2135699\/meghan-markle-sage-honey-as-ever\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">her very own brand<\/a>\u2026 has the Duchess even stopped to sit down and have some me time?<\/p>\n<p data-mce-linkchecker-status=\"valid\">And even now, at the end of November, the <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/news\/royal\/2136278\/meghan-markle-mistakes-magazine-cover\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Duchess is still making moves in the public sphere<\/a>. Last week, Meghan made it on <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" title=\"Meghan Markle owns up to \u2018mistakes\u2019 as she poses on cover of magazine\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/news\/royal\/2136278\/meghan-markle-mistakes-magazine-cover\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the cover on Harper&#8217;s BAZAAR<\/a>, giving a fresh interview in which saw her speak about mistakes, her husband <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/prince-harry\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prince Harry<\/a>, and life in the spotlight. And it is that final point I want to focus on.<\/p>\n<p>While Meghan was an actress long before she met and married Prince Harry, she is probably more of a famous face now than she ever was, starring on Suits.<\/p>\n<p>Although she doesn\u2019t call herself a celebrity, this year it is clear for all to see that she has firmly entered this new world of flashing cameras, red carpets, interviews, <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/news\/royal\/2134790\/meghan-markle-kris-jenner-hollywood\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A-lister parties<\/a> and podcasts, more than she ever has before. While she is still Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, I feel like she is now Meghan, LA celebrity.<\/p>\n<p>And don\u2019t photo shoots like those last week <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.harpersbazaar.com\/culture\/film-tv\/a69289143\/meghan-markle-cover-story-interview-2025\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">for Harper&#8217;s BAZAAR<\/a> prove this? Do we ever see <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" title=\"Princess Catherine, Princess of Wales\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/kate-middleton\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Princess Catherine<\/a> posing in various outfits on sofas and speaking about how much <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/prince-william\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prince William<\/a> loves her? No. And why? Because Catherine is a royal, not a celebrity. Unlike Meghan.<\/p>\n<p>While being in the celebrity sphere will no doubt benefit Meghan and her <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" title=\"As Ever\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/as-ever\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">As Ever<\/a> business, like it does with all celebrities, it also gives her and her husband Prince Harry one major difference that they will have to overcome.<\/p>\n<p>And that is the difference in celebrity status. Because while Meghan, 44, can now probably count herself as a celeb, Prince Harry can\u2019t, and probably never will &#8211; instead he will always be a royal, even if not a working one.<\/p>\n<p>As a royal expert, I can\u2019t see Harry ever changing this and entering the celebrity sphere. What would he do &#8211; Acting? Singing? Influencing online? I just can\u2019t see it.<\/p>\n<p>While he is famous for being a royal, I can only ever see him as a plus one to Meghan in the world of celebrity, in the same way that she was his plus one in the world of royal &#8211; something that, according to some, she did not like.<\/p>\n<p>And I can&#8217;t help but wonder just how they will navigate this, when invites with Meghan\u2019s name on come piling through their <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/news\/royal\/2114198\/meghan-markle-montecito-home-dog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Montecito letterbox<\/a>, and Harry simply has to tag along. Was <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/celebrity-news\/2134153\/meghan-markle-torn-apart-us-tv-bethenny-frankel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kris Jenner\u2019s 70th birthday party earlier this month<\/a> the start of things to come? Maybe.<\/p>\n<p>As Meghan herself said, though, Prince Harry loves her, and if he loves her, maybe he can accept her new, ever-growing celebrity-like status as he continues with charitable endeavours.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As the end of 2025 slowly approaches, I have been able to reflect on what a whirlwind year&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":592240,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[1281,186429,170656,30436,25676,2810,5105,7710,519,448],"class_list":{"0":"post-592239","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-meghan-markle","9":"tag-meghan-markle-a-lister","10":"tag-meghan-markle-celebrity","11":"tag-meghan-markle-interview","12":"tag-meghan-markle-prince-harry","13":"tag-meghan-markle-royal-family","14":"tag-royal","15":"tag-royal-families","16":"tag-royal-family","17":"tag-royals"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/592239","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=592239"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/592239\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/592240"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=592239"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=592239"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=592239"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
