In recent discussions regarding the British Royal Family, contrasting perspectives have emerged concerning members of the monarchy and their interactions with the public and media. A public relations expert has suggested that Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, would likely endure more critical scrutiny than Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge (Kate Middleton), should either be implicated in a photo editing controversy. The difference in public support between the two Duchesses was highlighted following an incident where a digitally altered photo released by Kensington Palace for Mother’s Day involved Kate Middleton. Lynn Carratt from Press Box PR commented on the situation, noting the probable harsher backlash Meghan would face if she were in a similar scenario. This observation is rooted in the past instances where Meghan Markle has been accused of editing official images, underscoring the intense scrutiny she faces in comparison to Kate Middleton.

In a separate but related development, Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, has been cautioned about his apparent irreversible estrangement from the Royal Family. Paul Burrell, a former butler to Princess Diana, emphasized that Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, has metaphorically drawn a line, signaling a no-return point for his brother following Harry and Meghan Markle’s decision to step back from their royal duties in 2020 and relocate to the United States. Burrell highlighted that Prince William’s tolerance has been exhausted due to Prince Harry’s actions and statements, suggesting that any potential for reconciliation has diminished. Furthermore, Burrell indicated that Prince Charles, the heir apparent to the British throne, prefers clarity in the family’s future roles, further alienating Prince Harry from the Royal Family’s inner workings. This stance seems to reinforce Harry’s position as an outsider within the monarchy, urging him to reconcile with the outcomes of his decisions amidst ongoing family dynamics and crises.
