Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have championed causes close to the young generations' hearts, which they continue to support after leaving the royal family. However, according to U.S. brand and reputation management expert Eric Schiffer, Prince William and Prince Charles are taking them back.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle About To Lose Causes Close To Their Hearts?
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex appeal to the Millennials and Generation Z because of the causes they support.
However, Schiffer believed that the royal family was starting to take back the limelight and ownership from the royal couple, who had already stepped back from their royal duties, including environmental protection and equality.
The royals are also expected to understand and tune into the sensitivities of the young generation.
"Charles, as he relates to the environment, is extremely well-positioned because he was forward-thinking and visionary about it years ago. And he is now highlighting that because he recognizes it's an important issue that matters," Schiffer told Express.
"While Meghan and Harry had the early mover's advantage of being more wisely attuned to the needs of younger people, I expect the monarchy - in the form of William and Charles - to further attune and have greater affinity in their messaging and actions in ways that Meghan and Harry have owned for the last year."
When asked if the royal family would take back the limelight from Prince Harry and Markle, Mr. Schiffer gave a positive response, and he believed that the Prince of Wales and Duke of Cambridge have the ability to get the cameras on them.
"Yes, and those issues... they are going to start taking them back," Schiffer admitted. "Because they have allowed them to be owned, and they are going to start taking ownership back."

They have been campaigning for the environment, but the netizens slammed them multiple times for using private jets despite telling the public to stop activities that worsen climate change. That's why many called the royal couple hypocrites.
"I mean the hypocrisy of these two is laughable but it is also sad! They are way out of their depth!" Sky News Australia's Alan Jones said per Express.
Despite the criticisms, the couple continues to campaign for the environment. The couple has pledged that Archewell, their foundation, will go net-zero by 2030.
