In early 2020, Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, became the first modern-day royals to step down from their duties to move to a new country and become financially independent by working.
The husband and wife duo have since purchased a mansion in Montecito, raising their two young children.
The former actress and soldier have created their own path to fame and fortune while still serving humanity.
The pair has inked multi-million dollar deals with giants like Spotify Netflix and will publish several books in the upcoming months.
Meghan Markle and her husband have become activists who give paid speeches and use their voices to spotlight critical issues related to women and African Americans.
The renegade royals have also launched a foundation that has funded numerous charitable projects and made donations to causes that are near and dear to their hearts.
The Sussexes have reached out to homeless shelters, shed the spotlight on people with disabilities, and helped struggling single mothers.
They have also lent their voices and platforms to push for vaccine equality and ask that leaders take their nations’ mental health issues more seriously.
According to PR expert Eric Schiffer, Prince Harry and his wife’s moves since leaving England will indeed lead to a massive win in the PR war against Prince William, Kate Middleton, and the rest of the royal family.
Talking to the Daily Star, he suggested that after all has been said and done, despite Prince William’s efforts, Prince Harry and Markle will be viewed as the real royals.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will also be considered members of the British royal family with real hearts who fought to make concrete changes in society.
He told the publication that Prince Harry and Markle will eventually outdo and outrank Prince William and the others in terms of good deeds.
He explained how the duo succeeded: “They (Harry and Meghan) are going to own the hearts and minds of Gen Z and millennials. They will be seen as the real royals who care. They are trying to outflank the Royal Family.”
He further shared: “They are trying to do the work of what the Royal Family typically is about, which is about optimizing society and helping to make a society that much more uplifted in many ways – whether that is emotional or culturally.”
Speaking about Prince Harry and Markle’s Spotify and Netflix media deals, he said they were brilliant decisions because: “Their relationships with Gen Z and millennials, something that happens whenever you can take the mask of celebrity off, especially if you are positioned at a high level and are able to show your heart and speak about things that are true for you authentically.”
Schiffer added: “They have zeroed in on the future of the monarchy, which is the youth of the world.”
The power couple might be winning the PR race.
