Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are destined to "slowly recede from top billing on the news agenda", a royal author has claimed.The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's brand depends on their royal connections, commentator and author Robert Hardman has claimed.And, as the time goes by following their split from the Firm, they are destined to no longer be at the forefront of the news agenda, the royal expert added.In an interview with website Write Royalty, Mr Hardman said: "I think their brand depends entirely on their royal status and their royal connections, and therefore that’s what they are going to have to trade on, however much they say otherwise."It will be the royal stuff in Harry’s book, when it comes out, that people want to know about, not the worthy charitable activity."And I think as time goes on, like the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, they will inevitably slowly recede from top billing on the news agenda."But I think it will be a slow process."
