Prince Harry, Meghan Markle feeding the 'publicity machine' despite privacy demands: expert

Sources close to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are "pushing back" after King Charles issued new guidance on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's positions now that they are back in the United Kingdom.

King Charles issued guidance claiming that Harry and Markle are "akin to private citizens" via a letter issued by the Lord Chamberlain on Sept.

7.

Sources told People magazine that Harry and Markle are "public figures" and that if Harry and Markle were private citizens, the Lord Chamberlain "would not have needed to issue a letter of formal guidance." "Members of the public know who they are.

The idea that they can live a normal, ‘private’ life is sadly not realistic," the source added.

Kinsey Schofield, host of YouTube’s "Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered," addressed the "not realistic" claim by the source and told Fox News Digital that the "private citizen" guidance just means that they do not represent the king.

KING CHARLES DRAWS ‘LINE IN THE SAND’ WITH PRINCE HARRY, MEGHAN MARKLE AFTER COUPLE CAUGHT OFF GUARD: EXPERT "I want to push back on this argument coming from People Magazine and sources close to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle that it's somehow unrealistic for the Sussexes to live as private citizens.

Being a private citizen does not mean you're anonymous.

It simply means you don't represent the king.

The jobs you accept and the responsibilities you take, you take them on as yourself, not the crown," Schofield began.

Schofield drew a comparison between Princess Anne's children – Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips.

Princess Anne is Queen Elizabeth's only daughter and the sister of King Charles.

She chose not to give her two kids royal titles at birth.

"They're recognizable, have commercial interests, attend major royal family events, but they do not represent the monarch, yet they have both successfully built lives outside of the working institution.
