Princess Kate and Prince William's key difference to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry pinpointed

Royal commentator Tessa Dunlop has outlined the costly impact leaving the Royal Family has had on Meghan and Harry's brand.

Dunlop said: "No matter how great your celebrity in America there will always be someone richer and more famous.

"Over there, fame is commonplace, not so the magic and mystery that comes with monarchy.

"As the Sussexes are discovering to their cost, royalty does not travel well."

The royal commentator also compared Meghan and Harry to the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Dunlop said that the Sussexes cannot compete with Princess Kate and Prince William.

She told the Mirror: "To really flourish, more than titles and money are required.

"Harry, barefoot in a beanie, can't compete with William in full-blown honorary military uniform.

"Meghan in Valentino or Givenchy is less noteworthy than the Princess of Wales in her Lover's Knot tiara and badge of the Royal Victorian Order."

However, Prince Harry is more popular than Prince William in the US according to a new bombshell poll.
