Prince Harry and Meghan Markle appear to be taking a very different approach to approaching their affairs.
The Duchess of Sussex made a solo appearance in Geneva, Switzerland, to deliver a powerful speech about keeping children safe in online spaces. However, there was obvious irony in the message which one royal expert believes is a move Meghan cannot back down from.
According to royal expert Jennie Bond, Meghan has kept things “fresh and new,” which is good for current trends and boosting her business. Meanwhile, Prince Harry is sticking to his firm approach to charity work as his wife leads this new narrative.
“We don’t seem to hear much about Meghan’s charitable work these days,” Jennie said. The mirror“But the bigger your profile, the stronger your voice can be in highlighting the issues and campaigns you care about.”
It is unlikely that Harry will follow a similar route to promote his charities. He is “much happier” using his platform to speak out about crucial issues, growing aggression towards certain groups, promoting the Invictus Games and other causes.
Bond explained that it is “somewhat ironic” that Meghan “depends on the digital world for her commercial success” and “you can’t put the genie back in the bottle.”
He claims that since the Sussexes have spoken extensively about the dangers of online spaces, their focus on social media use contradicts their campaign.
Although, in the campaign that Harry and Meghan have been leading, they have not advocated avoiding the use of online spaces but rather making them safer. In her last speech, Meghan had stressed that progress must be made but with essential security measures as for any public health matter.
