Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle are said to have dominated Princes William and Harry in terms of popularity as the public give the Duchesses more attention when they are out doing their royal duties. A royal expert stated that even though this is the case, the Dukes seems not to mind at all.
As per the Express, in fact, many have noticed in the previous South African royal tour of Prince Harry and Meghan that the former “Suits” actress was featured more on articles and reports. She has more media coverage compared to the prince, which only shows that he is being overshadowed by his wife, although he is the real “royal” between them.
Meghan got more media coverage in South Africa
It was said that some social media users even called the Sussexes royal trip as the “Meghan Show” or the “Meghan Tour” because the news was all about her. From the clothes she wore on the events down to the way she smiled to the people who welcomed them on the streets, the reports were all about the former actress while Prince Harry seems like a standby who was just accompanying his wife.
“Based on column inches and internet stories you would have been hard-pressed to find much mention of the fact that the same day his wife was making a dazzling return to work, Harry was visiting a program to encourage kids to play rugby, hugging and high-fiving youngsters with only a few brief news stories about his visit,” royal expert, Daniela Elser, wrote on News.Com.Au.
Prince William has the same issue
It was mentioned that this scenario is the same as Prince William and Kate Middleton. The
Duchess of Cambridge has more coverage and even photos when they are on their official engagements as members of the royal family. But then, like Prince Harry, his older brother and the second heir to the throne doesn’t mind, and he just supports his wife instead.
Like father, like son?
Meanwhile, with Prince Harry and William’s situation, people are reminded of Princess Diana because there is no doubt about it, she is much, much more popular than Prince Charles. In other words, the late Princess of Wales has always been in the front while her former husband lives in her shadows.
