"Meghan and Harry had always hoped that when Queen Elizabeth died, Charles would take a less strict view of what it means to be a working Royal. Six months in the UK as a working Royal followed by six months in the States would bolster brand Sussex which is less and less interesting without the working Royal angle,” Royal author Tom Quinn told The Mirror.
People in America would have liked Harry more as a Royal as being a Royal is his main identity. However, Now that he's not, people would not care much about him, Quinn said.
