The New Royal Fab Four Has Been Crowned
Back when Prince William and Kate Middleton got engaged, the couple was often seen with William's younger brother, Prince Harry. The three royals became a bit of a force to be reckoned with, and, together, it seemed they would do incredible things. After Harry met Meghan Markle, the world had big expectations for what would become of the bond between two brothers — and their wives. The addition of Meghan into the fold excited royal watchers all over the world — this was going to be the ultimate Fab Four. According to Hello! magazine, there were numerous times that the two couples came together for events, giving the watching world exactly what they'd hoped for. However, while many expected William, Kate, Harry, and Meghan to take on the world together, that didn't exactly happen the way we all hoped.
A rift between the two brothers formed fairly early on, according to Cosmopolitan. Within a few months, things got extremely tense. And then? Harry and Meghan decided to step back as senior members of the royal family, officially ending the Fab Four — and what could have been. With the Duke and Duchess of Sussex living in the United States, William and Kate have really come into their own — the ultimate power couple, as The Sun points out.

There's a new royal Fab Four in town
It may not be the Fab Four that we expected, but it looks like Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles have stepped in to fill the spot left vacant by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, making another royal family power foursome. As Queen Elizabeth was forced to cancel her appearance at the COP26 summit at the beginning of November, Prince William, Charles, and their wives will be representing the royal family in Scotland, according to BBC News.
"This is something that Buckingham Palace were very keen to get across, that the Queen made this decision very regretfully and she's recording a video message at Windsor Castle at the end of this week, to be played to delegates at the opening of COP26," royal expert Rebecca English said on the Palace Confidential podcast, according to Express. "Of course, they are still rolling out the royal big guns, we've got the new Fab Four so to speak, we've got Charles, Camilla, we've got William and Kate all out there to charm delegates and represent Britain PLC," she added. And there you have it. Folks can expect to see a lot more of these four together in the coming months, as they all step up in support of the queen, according to CNN.
