Prince Harry soon returns to the UK, and with his arrival comes what royal commentator Neil Sean describes as a “shopping list of demands.” Read on to find out about the struggle for control and how Prince William has the upper hand.
The Clash & PR
Sean, in a recent episode of his Daily News Headlines on Monday, highlighted what he sees as a battle for control and a clash of public relations strategies between the Sussex family and the Prince and Princess of Wales.
Sean noted that Harry and Meghan previously stated which media outlets they would and would not speak to. However, he claimed that now, “a couple of tabloid magazines are the only ones now willing to print the rhetoric that Megan decides to speak.”
The rhetoric, according to Sean, includes terms like “organically growing as a person” and “authentic,” which he dismisses as “clap trap” without genuine action behind them.
The Uncaring Narrative & A Battle of Wills
Harry and Meghan, Sean argued, attempt to paint Prince William and Princess Catherine as “uncaring, unkind, and simply not willing to bend.” That, Sean believes, displayed itself in a past television interview where Prince Harry claimed he wanted his family back after he “trashed them.”
However, Sean feels that “Prince William truly does have the upper hand and the problem for Harry” is that he’s “no match for William. The center of the conflict, as Sean sees it, is Harry and Meghan’s push for a “public apology on the world stage” over alleged mistreatment of Meghan Markle.
However, the royal commentator rather sarcastically suggested that Meghan, who didn’t know how to curtsy “would have only felt comfortable if any member of the senior monarchy had literally just collapsed into a a curtsy for her.”
William’s Clever Meet-Up Condition
According to an “excellent source” cited by Sean, Prince William allegedly has a surprising condition for reconciliation. Apparently, he’s “more than willing to have a chat with Harry once he does one simple thing: connect with Thomas Markle.”
Sean views this as a “shrewd and clever move” because William believes that Thomas Markle could “cast a very strong light on exactly what’s gone wrong with the relationship with the monarchy.”
The commentator claimed that Harry is “not allowed to make contact with Thomas Markle or any of Megan’s family,” and that whenever he brings it up, “she bursts into tears and it becomes too difficult for him to deal with.”
Sorting Out Your Own Family First
Additionally, Sean said that while Harry “might want to come back and demand certain things,” William’s position is a powerful one. By asking Harry to first resolve the issues within his own wife’s family, William is essentially telling him to “sort your own side of the family out first.”
Sean ended by suggesting that by speaking with Thomas Markle, Harry “truly could learn a true thing or two.” Certainly, that’s an interesting idea, if it’s real, and many people wondered about it in the comments section.
Royal Family Fans React
In the comments section of the vlog, the topic about control and sorting out his own family first met with a lot of responses about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. One of them opined, “William threw it in Harry’s court. Brilliant move.”
Here are a few more reactions from the discussion area:
- W demands H meet Thomas Markle? Good one.
- That the obsolete Prince of Montecito feels he’s in a position to ‘demand’ anything highlights the delusion.
- Good for Prince William. No mercy. No forgiveness. Never forget. Never trust again. Nothing to apologize for…Prince William has nothing to gain by having anything to do with the toxic two.
