Meghan Markle has taken the lead with a “heavy hand” while Prince Harry is simply an “average English guy,” a commentator claimed.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have developed a rather unequal relationship, according to a royal expert.
Commentator Esther Krakue argued the Duke of Sussex has tended to “melt into the background” while the Duchess leads with a “heavy hand” whenever they are in public.
Speaking to Sky News Australia, Ms Krakue said: “You can definitely see a heavy hand by Meghan in a lot of the decisions they make. You see that in a lot of the way their engagements are done, she’s really at the forefront and Harry’s melting into the background. She leads as much in private as she does public.”

She cited the couple’s recent visit to Nigeria as an example, noting Meghan appeared to seek the spotlight while the “very English” Harry stood back.
She added: “When they were in Nigeria it was very much Meghan centre-stage and you can understand why – she’s an actress, she’s had a lot of time around celebrities and polishing her media persona, she’s headstrong and seems very confident. Harry’s just this run-of-the-mill very average English guy.”
Previously, royal biographer and expert Tom Quin told The Mirror that Meghan and Harry had an unequal relationship dynamic. He claimed: “No one has ever doubted that Harry and Meghan do not have an equal partnership – when Harry famously said, ‘what Meghan wants Meghan gets,’ he neatly summed up the situation.”
