Speaking at our first ever Royal Exclusive Live show, Arthur Edwards and Jennie Bond said Meghan couldn’t hack royal life like Kate.
Jennie said: “Meghan could have been such a credit – she is in independent, forthright woman.
“With her own career, her own thoughts, her own charities and causes.
“She could have been exactly what a modern monarchy needs. I think the monarchy didn’t act as carefully as they should have done.
“But Meghan is by all accounts a bit of a diva. She didn’t like what she saw and she didn’t like her wings being clipped.”
Jennie added: “I think it’s a very sad combination of misjudgements really.”
The experts also said Meghan and Harry are “going their own ways” and increasingly live “separate lives”.
Sun legend Arthur revealed the pair are “doing things separately now” after failing to be spotted together in three weeks.
Veteran royal correspondent Jennie said: “Meghan is not popular. She doesn’t want to come back and they are going their own ways, to some extent”.
The pair spoke on our first Royal Exclusive Live show, which you can watch in the player above and on our YouTube channel.
The event was hosted on Friday in front of a live audience of more than 100 special guests.
Mr Edwards said: “I don’t think Meghan can come here much. I don’t think people think too much of her.
“I think she’s struggling in popularity in the UK and I think they seem to be doing things separately now.
“She’s got her programme and he’s got his. He comes into Britain now with no fuss.
“He’s come for the Invictus Games, in and out with no fuss, he came for his uncle’s funeral, no fuss.”
Jennie added: “The point is he doesn’t want to come back into the Royal Family, I think.
“He regarded it as a trap. He still thinks his father and his brother are trapped and he’s finding his own way.
“All credit to him. I think Meghan has her own independent style and way of life.
“Yes, it’s not in tune with the people in the UK. She’s not popular and I don’t think she wants to come back.
“Therefore they are going their own ways, to an extent. But I hope and believe that Harry is very happy in his life.”
This comes after it was revealed Harry spent the night of his milestone 40th birthday without Meghan as rumours continue to swirl.
The duke went on a hiking trip with pals to celebrate his big day – and failed to mention his wife, 43, in his birthday thanks message.
Although sources close to the couple insist it was Meghan who organised the lads’ trip, experts warned it could be a key sign things are not so rosy.
Their separate plans, followed by Harry’s solo trips across the past few weeks, has sparked speculation surrounding their relationship.
It was also reported Meghan ditched a charity event at the last minute in Santa Barbara, California, with her husband because she was “sick”.
And, sources claim, for periods earlier this year, she was rarely staying at their luxury Montecito pad.
Meanwhile, Harry was said to be “moping around” on his own at a local cafe.
Previous claims last year that Meghan and Harry spent extended spells apart were denied by those close to the couple.
It was said that, like any other couple, they have disagreements but remained strong.
It comes as Harry beamed from ear to ear in photos taken on his latest trip to his beloved Africa.
But missing from the snaps of the duke with children and long-time friends at his charity Sentebale in Lesotho was his wife.
The Duchess of Sussex previously accompanied him to the continent, including in May this year.
In fact the couple have travelled together on two major overseas engagements this year.
But this prompted a source close to Harry and Meghan to address the speculation.
The Sussexes’ confidante insisted: “It is normal for couples to not do everything together.”
The duke attended at a string of events in New York unaccompanied by his wife.
He appeared on his own at an event for the Halo Trust – a landmine charity which was close to Di’s heart.
Harry was also pictured without Meg during a high-level dinner organised by the World Health Organization (WHO) in the Big Apple on Sunday.
Their separate appearances also included his surprise TV stint and tour of a haunted maze on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
And the dad-of-two was snapped outside and spent an hour inside a tattoo shop in Manhattan.
On Monday he jetted to the UK capital on his lonesome and did not see his father the King, or have any contact with his brother, Prince William.
Instead his time was taken up by honouring seriously ill youngsters at the WellChild Awards in London’s Royal Lancaster Hotel.
One of those attending said: “He looked like the old Harry we knew and loved.
“He always came alive at events like this, but lately he has seemed quite glum.
“He was on good form, full of energy and seemed quite happy to be on his own.”
Meanwhile, Meghan’s personal projects have also swirled in drama, from her promise of a cooking show about friendship to her brand American Orchard Riviera.
The lifestyle company suffered a fresh blow earlier this month.
Since announcing the project, the former Suits actress is yet to roll out anything other than jams and dog biscuits – products that have only been gifted to her A-lister pals so far.
Meghan has also faced multiple hurdles in her launch, including ‘struggling’ to secure a CEO, her team filling in the official forms incorrectly, and failing to send enough cash.
These issues came in addition to a bitter dispute over exclusive rights to the name American Riviera Orchard.
However, as a couple, the Duke and Duchess have put on a united front amid the roll out of their latest charity initiative – The Parents Network.
It aims to support families who have lost their children to online harm.
Tobias Kormind, managing director of 77 Diamonds, told The Sun: “Meghan’s minimalist jewellery choices complement her sleek red dress.
“More than ever, she uses the simplicity of her jewellery to accentuate and elevate her natural beauty.
“Her gold bangle stands out in the photos as the definition of her quiet elegance at the event.
“The most significant jewel in Meghan’s outfit, though, is her gorgeous engagement ring with a central stone acquired by Harry from Botswana and flanked by two smaller diamonds from Princess Diana’s collection.”
