Meghan Markle’s Father’s Day post might be ‘calculated’ move
Royal expert believes Meghan Markle’s Father’s Day post is allegedly a “calculated” move against her brother-in-law, Prince William. The point of contention is the choice of photos. Markle shared a loving snap where Archie and Lilibet’s faces were not visible on camera. Meanwhile, Kensington Palace’s official social media accounts released a heartwarming photo showcasing Princess Charlotte’s face.
For those unversed, Kensington Palace shared a sweet snap of Prince William posing with his daughter, Princess Charlotte. William was dressed in the complete ceremonial uniform of the Welsh Guards. On the other hand, Charlotte donned a lovely white dress for the special occasion. Notably, it was also Prince William’s birthday on June 21.
Royal experts believe it is not an accident but rather a deliberate move. Tom Sykes noted on his The Royalist podcast: “So, nothing wrong with that photo that Meghan posted. But when you put it next to William and Catherine’s image, the contrast is very deliberate. I don’t believe it’s accidental.”
As per Sykes, Markle waited for Kensington Palace to post first before she made her move. He explained, “I think that Meghan waited. I think she waited to see what Kensington Palace posted, and then I imagine that she had some options ready, and then she posted something calculated to make a really opposite point.”
Sykes elucidated that the contradiction was the game-changer. While William was in full military uniform in a formal setting, Harry was in casual clothes in a relaxed environment. As per Sykes, Markle was trying to portray her and Harry’s family as real and living their best life. Meanwhile, William’s family was portrayed as institution-like. “So, it is textbook Sussex positioning,” the royal insider alleged.
