Earlier this month, while Harry was all smiles in Japan on his first overseas outing as an ex-royal and Meghan was seen flitting off to a Taylor Swift concert in LA, the couple were issued with yet another brutal reality check by Buckingham Palace.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, the couple have also been demoted in the official pecking order, with their online biographies appearing near the bottom of the page, below those of Princess Alexandra and the Duke of Kent – despite the fact that Harry, as fifth in the line of succession, is significantly closer to the throne than his lesser-known second cousins.
