Harry and Meghan Markle refuse to be forgotten, even though their family is trying. That's why they responded with two photos that are already raising blisters.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex refuse to fall into oblivion, especially after the public gesture that King Charles III has had, which has clearly left them out of the game. This weekend, an official photo of the new king and his consort, Camilla Parker Bowles, accompanied by their heirs to the throne, the new princes of Wales, Prince William and Kate Middleton, were made public from Buckingham Palace.
An image that was understood as a firm declaration of who is part of the British royal house and who is not, in clear reference to the fact that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle do not enjoy such a distinction. In fact, on the house's official website they have been relegated to last place. Hours later, the counter photo has arrived, the response in the form of images with which the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have claimed their place. A new media scandal in British territory, which comes again from the other side of the pond.
There is talk about the intentionality of the photographs published first by King Charles III and now by his son Harry in response. There are many who consider that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex wanted to make a gesture of power and claim that they also exist, although their family is forgetting this. And they have done so with two official photographs, unusual for them, which could not have arrived at a more inopportune moment, if it is true that their intention was not to respond to the opposing party in this real conflict.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have enlisted the services of a good friend, photographer Misan Harriman, to deliver this controversial blow in the form of two images. One in black and white and another in color, where the Duchess of Sussex looks impressive in a red outfit made up of straight pants, a shirt with a bow at the neck and matching shoes in the same shade.
An applauded outfit on her day is that she was chosen to attend the One Young World conference on September 5, where she spoke about racial rights. Maybe it's a coincidence, but in an environment where every detail is looked at with a magnifying glass and every gesture is analyzed in detail, it seems difficult that they would have left this to chance.
Two photographs that were taken a month earlier, three days before the death of Queen Elizabeth II, which precipitated her change of plans in the middle of a tour of Europe. Perhaps the wait for the publication of these snapshots is due to the inopportuneness of doing so when they were captured, although they could well have done so at the time.
But they have preferred to wait four weeks and also make them known at another time that perhaps was not the most ideal if they wanted to avoid the most acidic criticism among those who understand that their public messages always aim to undermine the public image of the British royal family. Now these voices have also emerged, as it is believed that it has been an attempt to attract attention and steal the spotlight from the King of England, his consort and his heirs, now that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are no longer part of the clan.
