“It’s almost as if Harry is leveraging his newfound freedom and outsider status to elevate his royal status beyond what he could have achieved as merely the spare,” Quinn remarked during the discussion.

This assertion stems from observations that Harry and Meghan have organized successful overseas trips without seeking permission from senior royals, behaving as though they hold official royal status. “They’ve recognized that many world leaders are more interested in their royal titles and glamorous presence than in their official status,” Quinn explained.

Following what they perceive as a triumph in their tour of Nigeria, the couple is reportedly buoyed by their reception and emboldened in their approach. However, Quinn notes that back in Britain, William finds himself sidelined and unable to compete with his brother’s newfound prominence.

In essence, Quinn’s commentary suggests a shifting dynamic within the royal family, with Harry emerging as a prominent figure while William’s role is diminished by comparison.
