Robert added that the couple were trying to monetise on their celebrity status as they know other royals will soon take the limelight.
"They're 40 year olds. They're not young royals," the royal expert explained.
"They're different now. The vibe is different. The whole mood and shift will now go on to George, Charlotte, and Louis. And they will become really, frankly, bit part players.
"Now they won't like that. And that's probably what this is all about, making sure they've got a presence, a brand to monetise, because pretty soon they're going to be really so far removed from the main game, they're not going to be able to get as much

'He would say, 'I have this time to make this impact. Because I can,' until Prince George turned 18.
Speaking on The Sun's royal show, Robert agreed, adding: "You know, he'll be a bald 50-year-old prince. Someone formerly known as Prince, that's what he will be."
Once popular with the younger generation, Prince Harry will lose his spot to the future king, Prince George.
"They'll be thinking, who is this guy? They won't even know who he is," Robert added.
