Meghan and Harry recently received a stellar accolade as they were named in TIME Magazine's prestigious list of the 100 most influential people in the world. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were celebrated on the front cover of the publication in striking new images that took the world by storm. But now royal expert and author Duncan Larcombe has sensationally claimed Kate and William will be anxious about the photos.

       He told OK!: "Kate and William are in danger of being dragged into a transatlantic popularity contest.

       "They will feel anxious over the cover and everything Harry and Meghan do as it always seems to reflect on them.

       "William and Kate are concerned about absolutely everything that comes out of America in regards to Harry and Meghan, especially Harry's tell-all warts and all memoir that's gonna hit the shelves sometime next year.

       "They have no control over the narrative."

       The Duke and Duchess of Sussex said they were "humbled" to be featured on the list.

       As part of the illustrious nod Meghan and Harry were profiled by chef José Andrés, a founder of the World Central Kitchen – one of the charities the Duke and Duchess's foundation, Archewell, endorses.

       He said: "Springing into action is not the easy choice for a young Duke and Duchess who have been blessed through birth and talent, and burned by fame.

       "It would be much safer to enjoy their good fortune and stay silent.

       "That’s not what Harry and Meghan do, or who they are. They turn compassion into boots on the ground through their Archewell Foundation.

       "They give voice to the voiceless through media production.

       "Hand in hand with nonprofit partners, they take risks to help communities in need—offering mental-health support to Black women and girls in the US, and feeding those affected by natural disasters in India and the Caribbean."
