While the royal family did everything to inspire and support the nation during the pandemic, Megan and Harry were too passive, writes OK.Magazine.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry suspended their royal duties shortly before the borders of Great Britain were closed due to the coronavirus pandemic. From across the ocean, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex joined the thousands of volunteers helping the most vulnerable North Americans during the pandemic.
At the same time, the royal family focused on inspiring the British and raising their spirits in difficult times. Prince William and Kate Middleton talk almost daily with medical workers and volunteers, Queen Elizabeth records appeals to the nation - and all this, together with real charity help, significantly increases the public image of the monarchs.

In a conversation with Express.co.uk, royal expert Phil Dampier said that Megan and Harry missed the opportunity to get a loyal attitude from their subjects when they decided to leave. On the contrary, they faced misunderstanding and condemnation from a large part of the audience.
“I think the lockdown played into the hands of many royals in terms of image. Except Harry and Megan, - emphasized Phil Dampier. “They are the biggest losers because they now look somewhat isolated and out of place in this country. Yes, they can still play their part internationally or in America, but in Britain people now just shrug their shoulders when they hear about Meghan and Harry. The ratings of all other members of the royal family have grown, they have coped with their duties very well. "
Despite self-isolation, British monarchs are in full view every day. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry only occasionally reminded themselves.
