Prince Harry ‘lost his place in the pecking order’ due to Cambridge ‘dynasty’ expert claims ahead of Oprah interview

Prince Harry reportedly “lost his place in the pecking order” due to his older brother Prince William and his wife Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge's family, an expert has claimed.

• Prince Harry was born 3rd in line to the throne, but is now 6th, behind his father, Prince Charles, his brother Prince William and his nephews and niece. 
• An expert has now suggested that the Duke of Sussex “always had to choose a second route” after he “essentially lost his place in the pecking order”. 
• In other Royal News, Meghan Markle and Zara Tindall are set to help the Queen break this royal record this year. 

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex may have stepped back as senior members of the Royal Family last year, but it’s now been confirmed that the couple are set to give a “tell-all” interview with talkshow host Oprah Winfrey. It’s understood that Duchess Meghan will be joined by Prince Harry for part of the interview and that the conversation will cover everything from motherhood, to marriage and future hopes. 

This astonishing news comes just after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced that they’re expecting baby number two. Their Valentine’s Day pregnancy reveal also contained a sweet gesture to Prince Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana as she revealed her own second pregnancy that same day 37 years ago. 

Now ahead of the couple’s Oprah Winfrey interview, a royal expert has claimed that Prince Harry “lost his place” due to his brother Prince William and sister-in-law Duchess Catherine's Cambridge "dynasty".

Invited on BBC Breakfast on Tuesday to discuss the future for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle after the couple announced their second pregnancy to the world, royal expert Katie Nicholl reportedly spoke of how Prince Harry had forged his own path in life after being falling further down the British line of succession.

Ms. Nicholl claimed: "Harry has essentially lost his place in the pecking order because of the Cambridges and their dynasty.”

Whilst Prince Harry was born 3rd in line to the British throne, he is now down to 6th, with his elder brother Prince William and his children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis above him. 

Some might now even be questioning how the British line of succession will change after Prince Harry and Meghan’s next baby.

Speaking of Prince Harry’s route in life, Ms. Nicholl suggested: "I think he always had to choose a second route and this is his opportunity to now talk about what he is going to do and together how they are going to do it”.

Ms. Nicholl also spoke of how she felt the interview was going to be a “ratings hit no matter what” and that “millions are going to tune into this”.

She said how for some, “Meghan is the ultimate home-coming queen" and "she has come back to America with her prince."

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s extraordinary interview is set to air in March. The couple have now settled in California with their son Archie and recently launched their own podcast, Archewell Audio, which quickly rose up the Spotify charts.
