Lady Diana, smarter than Meghan and Harry with the media: this lesson to be learned
Is there someone to save Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, stuck in various controversies and less and less sympathetic? Yes: Lady Diana, the late mother of the Duke of Sussex, according to a British journalist who remembers her way of captivating her detractors in the pages of the Sun ... Great art!
Surrounded. Outside, as inside Buckingham where they have just set up their offices, under the suspicious gaze of His Majesty's old courtiers. Still extremely popular a year ago, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are seeing their ratings plummet ever lower, to the point that a petition challenges them to use the titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Sumptuous renovations, refusal to offer the face of little Archie to the objectives, annoying anti-natalist speeches, green preaches as they travel in a private jet, incitement to altruism as the ex-heroine of Suits holds his paternal family from a distance: everything is good to make the couple falter.
Until recently, Harry made a good attempt to explain his use of jets in Amsterdam, he was unconvinced. His attempts at humor on his sleepless nights since he was a dad did not please. On September 12, Meghan will officially end her maternity leave, showcasing her collection of workwear for job-seeking women. The serial resignations in her entourage and the turnover of nannies in her service inspire some that she is far from being a model boss. The use of communicators who have already worked for Harvey Weinstein or Michael Jackson augurs well for a big operation to win back hearts. Still exaggerated spending?
It was his way of dealing with "the enemy" (...) We all gave in to Diana's charm "
In a column addressed to the husbands of Sussex and published by The Sun, Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine and well-known journalist of the royal family, reframes rather severely. Blaming the prince, once so beloved, for rejecting the interest and affection shown to him, at the risk of stoking anger, Ingrid Seward believes that "Harry should follow his mother Diana's mantra and keep his enemies under the arm." The journalist knows what she is talking about, she particularly remembers a tête-à-tête with the late Princess of Wales, shortly before her death at the end of the summer of 1997.
“I had written an article that she felt was wrong and unfair, so she arranged to meet me at her Kensington apartment for what she called 'a little girls talk,' Ingrid Seward recalls. his way of dealing with "the enemy": we invite him to the house, we flatter him and we make him a support. " The editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine describes Diana as "one of the smartest women in the world," knowing that "her invitations didn't go down." At the end of these interviews, "we felt a little obliged to reflect our opinions", analyzes Ingrid Seward. "It still worked. We all gave in to Diana's charm and her disarming way of defending herself."
