Has a royal expert revealed Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry's master plan?

She says the Sussexes were looking for friends in Hollywood to make themselves popular in the US.

MONTECITO - The two ex-Royals, who have emigrated to the United States, are unfazed by falling poll numbers in the UK.

Royal expert Rebecca English claims that they are not interested in how they are perceived there.

The Sussexes have long had “another mark” in their sights.

In British polls, the ducal couple of Sussex does not fare particularly well.

Statistics showed some time ago that only Prince Andrew (61) with the abuse scandal attached to him leads the list of unpopular royals ahead of Prince Harry (37) and Duchess Meghan (40).

However, the fact that Meghan's compatriots have recently turned away from her should affect the two.

At least that's how the royal expert of the "Dailymail", Rebecca English, sees it.

Her colleague Richard Eden goes a step further, pointing to the couple's public efforts to "befriend real Hollywood stars."

Eden also knows why the ducal couple is working on it.

He sees it as an attempt by the parents of two to "increase their popularity".

When asked if she felt the Sussexes were worried about popularity in the UK, Ms English said: "The answer is definitely no." Harry's old home is no longer their market.

They would have other fish to catch in the US.

But many of the couple's big plans have not materialized.

She sees the steadily increasing popularity ratings of the other members around Regent Queen Elizabeth II (95) as an encouraging sign of royal relevance in modern times.

Eden echoes her sentiment: "I think it's really all about her popularity in America now."

He also does not paint the situation in Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan's adopted home as particularly rosy.

"I think there's a lot of indifference towards them [the Sussexes] across the Atlantic." The couple seem aware of this, as they're trying to connect with real Hollywood stars like actress, dancer and singer Zendaya (25 ) and British star Tom Holland (25), who is successful in the USA, in order to increase their popularity, he continued.

Supposedly, at the end of January, there was a meeting with the two "Spider-Man" stars, who were swimming on the wave of success, and Prince Harry to maintain contact.
