The Royal Family expert suggested the impact public life has on prominent members such as Meghan Markle and Prince Harry would be enough to justify the "abolition" of the monarchy. Reacting to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's plans to challenge head-on persistent negative reporting on Meghan, BBC royal correspondent Jonny Diamond jokingly argued the pressure of royal life could be considered a violation of members' "human rights". Speaking to BBC's Beyond Today, the royal expert said: "He didn’t choose to become a member of the Royal Family, no, but he is a member of the Royal Family.
"If there is one good reason to abolish the monarchy it would be on human rights’ grounds for the individuals.
"It’s a terrible life because people I meet from the Palace now and then say to me normal human beings have death and taxes."
Mr Diamond added: "The monarchy has death, taxes and the media. They’ve always had it."
In a candid interview recorded during her stay in South Africa in the middle of her first official tour since resuming her royal duties after maternity leave, Meghan Markle admitted to finding it "hard" to cope in her new role as a member of the British Royal Family.

In the film 'Harry & Meghan: An African Journey," the Duchess of Sussex said: "It's hard. I don't think anybody can understand that.
“In all fairness, I had no idea, which probably sounds difficult to understand. But when I first met Harry, my friends were so excited, my US friends were happy because I was happy.
"But my British friends, they were sure he was lovely, but they said I shouldn't do it because 'the British tabloids will destroy your life'.
"Because I'm American I very naively didn't get it. It's complicated."

Meghan thanked filmmaker Tom Bradby for inquiring about her emotional state, admitting “not many people” checked whether the Duchess felt ok amid persistent scrutiny.
The Duchess added: “Well, I guess, and also thank you for asking, but not many people have asked if I’m okay, but it’s a very real thing to be faint through behind the scenes.”
Meghan was then asked: "And the answer is, would it be fair to say, not really okay?
"As in, it’s really been a struggle?"
To which Meghan simply answered "yes".
In a statement announcing the Duchess' plan to go to court over some reports on her, Prince Harry insisted he did not want to see his wife suffer the same fate as his mother Princess Diana.
