Experts: Harry and Meghan may bring down the British monarchy
A royal expert said that Britain's Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle could overthrow the British monarchy in its old form.
Anna Pasternak, an expert and royal historian, told the British newspaper "Daily Mail" that the annoyance arising from the interview that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex conducted with American journalist Oprah Winfrey could pose a threat to Prince Charles' accession to the throne of Britain after the death of Queen Elizabeth.
"I don't think Prince Charles will ever ascend the throne after meeting Harry and Meghan," Anna added.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex has sparked issues of concern mainly in this country to the extent that their statements may change the face of Britain, and I think that the monarchy as an old institution may fall. ”
The royal expert believes that the interview probably affected Charles's popularity, as many believe that Harry's remarks stemmed from the unspoken anger and sadness that the prince had kept in his heart since what happened with his mother, Diana.
Anna also noted that the royal establishment "now sees William as the most appropriate person to ascend the throne after the death of Queen Elizabeth."
Labor Representative Diane Abbott, the first black woman member of parliament, echoed Anna's words, telling "Vanity Fair" that she believes that the monarchy as we know it will continue as long as the Queen is alive, but upon her death there will be "a great public debate."
"I think what the royal family and her advisors did to Meghan will be part of the discussion for change," she added.
"After what happened with Diana and Megan, I think that the form of the British Royal Institution as we know it will collapse," said Kelichi Okafor, a British actress of black descent.
The fiery remarks in the interview moderated by Oprah Winfrey last month shook the British royal palace.
Observers confirmed that the interview caused an earthquake, reminiscent of what happened during the era of Princess Diana and even the crisis of King Edward VIII stepping down in 1936.
