Prince Harry and Meghan Markle should build bridges with the Royal Family and rein in their “keyboard warriors” if they truly want to reconcile with the Firm, a PR expert has warned.
The Royal Family has had a difficult start to 2024 with the monarchy’s ‘slimmed down’ state looking thin during this week’s Commonwealth service, after King Charle’s shock cancer diagnosis and the Princess of Wales’s abdominal surgery. The Firm was further hit by the latest drama to drop involving Princess Kate’s editing mishap on her Mother’s Day photo.
Now a royal expert has suggested that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex should use this opportunity to prove their worth and carve out a path towards reconciliation.
Jack Izzard, CEO of Rhizome Media, told the Sun: “Their popularity has sunk almost below ground, and that’s where it will stay. We’ll probably never know whether Harry and Meghan got a twinge of pleasure from Kate’s blushes. But what they should definitely get out of the Kensington Palace cock-up is a PR opportunity.
“A supportive word here, a gentle nod towards the importance of Kate’s privacy there – this is a chance to offer a subtle olive branch to the Cambridges. And done right, it can be totally in tune with one of the Sussexes’ favourite themes – a call for the conspiracy theorists and keyboard warriors to lay off.”
