The British media's treatment of Meghan Markle compared to Kate Middleton
We have been pending for a few days what we can already call 'the soap opera of the Dukes of Sussex'. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle want a life independent of the British royal family and the Queen of England, Elizabeth II, has authorized them to live a transitional period between the United Kingdom and Canada. She says she understands the desire for independence of the Dukes of Sussex, although she admits that she would have preferred them to continue their official duties within the royal family exclusively.
The digital BuzzFeed has published an article in which it has analyzed how the British media have treated the dukes - especially Meghan Markle - and have compared it with how the same media treated similar situations.
The headlines are more than eye-catching. The Daily Mail, during Kate Middleton's pregnancy, noticed how she "cradled" her belly and showed several photos in which she did it. On the other hand, when Meghan Markle reproduced the same gesture, the newspaper wondered why she did not stop touching her belly; if it was a matter of vanity, pride, or pure theater ...
A similar thing happened with the Express and avocados. During Kate Middleton's pregnancy, this medium published how the Duchess of Cambridge took this food to avoid morning sickness; On the other hand, when it was Meghan Markle who ate avocados, this same medium spoke of them as the shame of millennials and claimed: "Meghan Markle's beloved avocados are related to the drought and human rights abuses."
These are just a few examples of something that has been going on in the British media for a long time; and it is that there have always been comparisons between Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton facing them. The prince has been exposed since he was born. At times he has lost control in some situations with journalists from the UK; and it is that he hit a photographer on one occasion. Prince Harry has accused the press of racism, misogyny and - even - has taken two British media to court.
