Yes, I realize that, and I see how the big wedding and splashy tour feeds into that. But I’m still baffled by the Commonwealth Youth Ambassador title and the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust and the canopy. His “big” fundraisers have been for Sentebale and his wedding charities were small and many of them non-UK.
Yes, it all looks like the same thing Will and Kate did, but it’s very different in substance. Will and Kate did a lot of fundraising for their foundation during their first year and then they went on to establish a strong charity base in the UK. They built a strong platform and developed their own institutions. Harry is not doing that. Heck, he’s compromising his strong Invictus platform to go plant trees for the canopy.
William is building relationships with the UK business community. Harry is merching for Givenchy, and sucking up to the Clooneys and Lin-Manuel. Kate is extending her patronage to legacy UK museums, while Meghan is selling Jess’ crap Canadian brands.
I don’t think he will be marginalized. I think he already is being marginalized with these non-UK “positions” and “events.” This is what they’ve traditionally done with all of their problem family members.
