Meghan Markle has received heartfelt advice regarding her marriage to Prince Harry following their recent trips to Nigeria and Colombia. Royal expert Amanda Platell, writing for the Daily Mail and referenced by the Daily Express, expressed concerns about the dynamics in their relationship, urging Meghan to avoid turning Harry into her “plus one.”
In her column, Amanda raised a thought-provoking question: “Barely two years after he portrayed himself as the forgotten Spare in his venge-fest book of the same name, is Prince Harry in danger of becoming a spare part in his own marriage, too?” This observation comes amid speculation about Harry’s increasingly secondary role during their public appearances.
Platell, reflecting on her own life experiences, offered Meghan some personal advice: “So Meghan, take note to avoid your marriage ending up like mine – a bitter and costly divorce followed by a lifetime of ‘what ifs’.” She warned the Duchess of Sussex not to let Harry fade into the background as she continues to dominate the spotlight in their post-royal lives.
Prince Harry recently embarked on solo trips to the UK and South Africa, following their joint tours of Nigeria and Colombia. Amanda commented on Harry’s role during these outings, stating: “That a miserable-looking Harry increasingly cuts a forlorn figure, playing second fiddle to the magnificent Meghan. During their two faux-royal tours to Nigeria and Colombia earlier this year, he was very much the sideshow.”
The expert’s remarks underscore the growing perception that Prince Harry has been taking a more supportive, secondary role in their public engagements, while Meghan shines at the forefront. Platell’s advice serves as a cautionary note to the couple, encouraging them to maintain balance in their relationship as they continue their work on the global stage.
As Meghan pursues high-profile projects, there are concerns about whether Prince Harry will continue to step back or reassert a more prominent role, ensuring their marriage remains a partnership rather than a one-sided affair.
