Welcome loyal readers to another installment of royal drama dissection! As regular viewers of this program know, I pride myself on bringing you the hottest, freshest royal tea straight from Buckingham Palace gardens. Well buckle up folks, because today’s serving is piping hot and sure to cause quite a stir.
We begin our tale with Prince Harry, once sixth in line for the throne and darling of the British people. Remember those halcyon days when he and wife Meghan graced the world stage with their star power and charm? The people loved them – they were truly the toast of the town. But alas, as with all great love stories, trouble soon arose.

You see, Meghan has always had ambitions of carving her own path. But trying to modernize one of the world’s oldest institutions is rather like teaching an old dog new tricks – it was never going to fly. In seeking independence and autonomy, the Sussexes stepped back from royal duties in early 2020. On the surface, this seemed a reasonable choice, but little did we know the depths they would sink to in pursuit of financial freedom.
Word from my sources in Kensington Palace is that Meghan in particular has taken to a most unseemly profession – influencing! Yes, you heard right. The former Duchess of Sussex is now hawking products on Instagram like any other social media hustler. Spotted shamelessly plugging brands during recent trips to Colombia and Nigeria, one can only imagine poor Harry’s mortification. From cutting ribbons at hospitals to watching his wife flog handbags – what a fall from grace!

But the plot thickens. Sources say Harry is finally realizing he’s hit rock bottom. Can you imagine the monarchy’s pride and joy reduced to this? From royal duties to influencer spouse – it’s enough to give anyone an identity crisis. Meanwhile, Meghan has the audacity to point fingers at Sarah Ferguson, as if pushing children’s books is remotely the same as becoming a walking billboard! The nerve of that woman knows no bounds.
No doubt King Charles is seeing red over these developments. One can only imagine his fury upon opening the morning paper to images of his daughter-in-law shilling products to the masses. He’s trying to modernize the monarchy’s image but these two are threatening to reduce centuries of tradition and mystery to cheap social media fodder. Stripping Harry and Meghan of their titles would surely be satisfying, but alas, the issue is rather more complex legally.

Andsources say this is just the beginning! Meghan apparently has a full roster of deals in the works that would make even the most cutthroat influencer blush. Hotels, coffee, and who knows what other products – she’ll be everywhere except where she claimed to want, in privacy. Harry for his part just trails along helplessly, looking more lost than a Labrador at a cat show. How the mighty have fallen!
The real tragedy lies in what they could have achieved with their platform for good, and what they’re reduced to now for money. They left royal duties for privacy and independence, yet now do much the same thing – representing brands and making public appearances – but without any prestige or dignity. Perhaps avocado toast and Montecito mansions aren’t cheap, but there’s a line between useful partnerships and outright selling out.

To make matters worse, every sponsorship further chips away at the mystery and mystique surrounding the monarchy itself. With Harry and Meghan’s antics, the institution risks resembling nothing more than a circus sideshow. King Charles has his work cut out restoring dignity during this transition period, all while the Sussexes gleefully jump ship for influencer riches. No wonder William and Kate look on with a mixture of horror and schadenfreude.
Where does this sad spiral lead next? Will Meghan launch her own wellness YouTube channel? Will Harry sign on as a spokesperson for men’s grooming products? One can hardly blame them for wanting financial security, but this path surely can’t end well. At some point they must realize how far they’ve truly fallen.

Only time will tell if they come to their senses or double down on the hustle. King Charles may yet assert himself to defend tradition too. In the game of thrones, you either win or sell out on social media it seems. For now all we can do is sit back, brew another pot of tea, and watch the unfolding madness with a mixture of pity and morbid fascination. You heard it here first on Untold Royal Secrets – this drama is far from over! Tune in next time for further developments in the greatest royal saga of our time. Keep watching!
