Disaster for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle after latest move
One royal expert believes that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have not reached the levels of Hollywood success they might have hoped for.
Graham Norton shares his views on Harry and Meghan
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been accused of unsuccessfully "sucking up to Hollywood royalty" after a selfie of Taylor Swift, Prince William, Prince George and Princess Charlotte made headlines all over the world.
On June 21, also the date of William's 42nd birthday, he took his two eldest children to see the pop superstar perform on tour at Wembley Stadium, with them also getting to meet Taylor before the show.
Meghan previously reached out to Taylor via a "personal letter" to ask her to appear on her podcast Archetypes, but the offer was declined.
The Daily Mail's Richard Eden explained the disparities between the Royal Family's approach to celebrity networking and Harry and Meghan's.
He said: "It's a very different relationship because, essentially, Taylor Swift is here and she wants to show her respect for the Royal Family.
"In a way, you could say [she is] paying court to Prince William - whereas with Harry and Meghan, it's the other way round. They're the ones who seem to be always sucking up to Hollywood royalty.
"They thought when they moved to California, 'we'll be at the centre of this sort of royal court and everyone will come to see us.' But it never seems to be working out like that."
