MEGHAN Markle didn’t like playing “second fiddle” to the rest of the royals but could have “played a key role”, according to a royal expert.

Broadcaster Sarah Hewson told The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show that the Sussexes would have been “front and centre” now if they had stayed as working royals.

Sarah revealed to The Sun’s Matt Wilkinson: “We’re told Meghan didn’t like playing second fiddle well, they wouldn’t have been playing second fiddle right now would they?

“They would have been front and centre and they could have played such a key role and I think it’s really, really sad to see just how things have changed.

“He and Meghan both actually could have made such a difference.”

Sarah pointed out that the Royal Family is currently “thin on the ground”, with King Charles and Princess Kate’s cancer recoveries, and Princess Anne’s recent injury.

The Princess Royal, 73, spent five days in hospital after suffering a concussion in a horse accident on the Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire.

Sarah continued: “And particularly now, when you look at the Royal Family, and how difficult and how thin on the ground they have been, over the past few months with the absence of the King, the Princess of Wales, of course, we’ve had Princess Anne’s ill health lately as well.”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down as working royals in 2020, and relocated to California, where they live with Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three.

The royal expert pointed out that when Prince Harry was in the Royal Family, he managed to bring about a lot of change.
