Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may have quit royal life almost six years ago, but it seems that their actions still have an impact on the Royal Family. While the couple and their children live in a Montecito mansion across the pond from the UK, their moves and actions when it comes to public life are reportedly still watched by the Palace as a result of the impact the couple can still have on the monarchy.

An insider told OK! magazine: “Even personal appearances in Hollywood are closely watched. Every public move affects how trust and perception are shaped within the family.”

The insider also revealed that the Palace were reportedly not happy by the fact The Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended Kris Jenner’s birthday party just weeks ago.

The source said: “Harry and Meghan know attending high-profile events could have consequences for their standing in the monarchy, and must have weighed up the pros and cons of attending Kris’ party before going.”
