According to Newsweek, the publication of Meghan's paparazzi pictures has led to an influx of inquiries from cautious news organizations, fearing potential backlash from the Duchess of Sussex.
The images in question captured Meghan at a flower market in Montecito, California and were published by the Daily Mail on July 15th. This is just the latest in a series of photos of the Sussex family taken by various photographers.
Juliskanian clarified that she was not tipped off about Meghan's presence at the market and happened to be in the town due to her upbringing there. She believes that Meghan and Harry's confrontational approach with the press has put publications on edge, making them more cautious and hesitant. "I would say that everyone's scared of her," she told Newsweek. "They're all scared of her. She won."
Juliskanian further explained that lawyers from various publications start contacting photographers once Meghan's pictures are published, seeking information and taking precautions. However, she mentioned that she had not received any complaints directly from Meghan's team.
Having photographed Meghan four times since 2021, Juliskanian stumbled upon her at the flower market during one of her routine visits to Montecito, where her mother resides. She noted a different vibe from Meghan this time, describing her as humble and kind to the vendors. The interaction seemed distinct from their previous encounters, leaving Juliskanian with a sense of surprise.
While some online users believe Juliskanian's account, others are skeptical. One user pointed out that the lack of complaints and the positive portrayal of Meghan in the Daily Mail's coverage indicate a potential setup or collaboration between Meghan and Juliskanian.
They speculated that the photos may have been sold as a package, with Meghan having control over the copy and images. Another user expressed doubt about Juliskanian's claims, suggesting that her motive might be to prevent Meghan from terminating their working relationship.
Various comments on the situation range from viewing Juliskanian's statements as damage control by Meghan to allegations of her being paid to support Meghan's narrative. Critics argue that the declining interest in Meghan's photographs stems from a lack of public demand rather than fear from the press. Ultimately, Meghan's attempt to portray herself as powerful and triumphant in the face of disinterest in her images is met with skepticism by many observers.
As the story unfolds, it seems that Meghan's staged farmers market pictures and the subsequent reactions have become a subject of debate, with conflicting viewpoints about the authenticity and motives behind the paparazzi's revelations.
