Title: The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Ongoing Battle with the Royal Family: A Closer Look
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, have been making headlines with their bold and outspoken statements in recent months.
From their explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey to their appearances on podcasts and mental health series, they have not shied away from criticizing the Royal Family and its members.
Their comments have targeted Prince Charles, Prince William, Kate Middleton, and even hinted at the Queen and Prince Philip’s parenting.
However, their vocal stance did not start after their departure from the Royal Family.
In fact, Prince Harry had previously accused the media of harassing and bullying Meghan when they were still dating, which included allegations of racist and sexist treatment.
Trending:
According to Royal expert Katie Nicholl, Prince Harry’s initial statement made a significant impact, as it shed light on the mistreatment Meghan faced.
Years later, he released another statement, drawing parallels between Meghan’s treatment and that of his late mother, Princess Diana.
In a recent Channel 5 documentary titled “Meghan and Harry — Three Troubled Years,” Royal expert Tom Quinn argued that the Sussexes might have fared better if they had followed the Queen’s example of not responding to criticism.
Quinn compared their situation to a drowning couple, where the more they struggled against the things they disliked, the deeper they sank.
He emphasized that controlling the media is impossible, and it would have been wiser for Meghan and Harry to remain silent.
Adding to the discussion, Richard Kaye, editor-at-large of the Daily Mail, viewed Harry’s initial statement as unnecessarily antagonistic, as if he was provoking a fight.
Kaye suggested that Harry’s aggressive approach may have exacerbated the situation.
The Queen Mother’s mantra, passed down through generations, was “never complain, never explain.”
This philosophy meant refraining from responding to criticism, even when it was hurtful or false.
The reasoning behind this approach was that responding to claims would only fuel further controversy and create an expectation to comment on everything in the future.
However, Meghan felt let down by the palace’s failure to address the claims made against her.
She expressed to Oprah that the media had launched a character assassination, with the palace allowing it to happen.
Now that Prince Harry and Meghan have stepped back from their royal duties and embarked on a new chapter of their lives, they feel liberated to express their thoughts freely.
However, it has been argued that the more they attack the media, the more it will respond.
In contrast, the Queen’s dignified silence in the face of criticism has allowed her to maintain her popularity for nearly seven decades.
On the other hand, Meghan and Harry’s popularity has noticeably declined, both in the UK and the US.
Critics have accused them of focusing too much on themselves without acknowledging their privilege, particularly during a time when many people are struggling with the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.
Piers Morgan, one of Meghan and Harry’s most vocal critics, labeled Meghan as just one of many privileged celebrities who exploit victimhood to suppress free speech, prioritize their own version of the truth, and attempt to cancel any dissenting opinions.
Similarly, Russell Myers, royal editor of the Daily Mirror, questioned the sympathy for a 36-year-old man complaining about being financially cut off when he is worth millions.
In conclusion, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s ongoing battle with the Royal Family has captivated the public’s attention.
While they have chosen to speak out against the institution and its members, some argue that following the Queen’s example of dignified silence could have served them better.
As they navigate their new lives outside the royal spotlight, it remains to be seen how their outspokenness will impact their relationship with the media and their public image.
