As the red carpet is rolled out for Harry & Meghan in New York, our royal show asks: is this the rise of the RIVAL royal family?

Despite not representing the monarchy or Britain anymore, Harry and Meghan have been given the full VIP treatment on their trip to New York, their first official visit since moving to California. The Daily Mail’s royal editor Rebecca English tells Palace Confidential that this trip has ‘the feel of an official royal visit, which of course it isn’t because they are ostensibly private citizens now.’See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
