Prince Harry is said to be working with his PR managers at Archewell as he is making strategic moves behind the scenes to help manage his public appearances.
Harry Wants To Remind Everyone That He’s a Royal
Photos and videos were edited by Archewell or event organizers before the public viewed them. Last week, Harry appeared at a San Francisco summit given by the life-coaching company BetterUp, which was live-streamed through the website for free.
However, the only way to see Harry was to pay an outrageous fee to see him live. If Harry aims to boost his popularity, this is not the way. If you wanted to see the Duke, you had to be present for the event.
After the summit, a press release and four glossy photos were posted on Sussex.com. The description on their website was a major yawn.
Harry apparently did a remarkable job illustrating the
“insightful conversation about the pressures of today’s world and modern corporate life.”
Netflix also revealed that Harry and Meghan will be the executive producers of two new Netflix series. The Sussexes are fighting to control the narrative. They want to manage their public persona and improve public approval of them.
Harry’s new show is about professional polo. Historically, polo has been characterized as the sport of royalty. It is known as “The Sport of Kings” due to its connection with aristocracy. It stands to reason that Harry’s goal is to remind everyone that he is, in fact, a royal.
And it’s okay to root for him because he is “one of them,” even though he and his wife attempted to tear down the monarchy.
Harry And Meghan’s Popularity Is Rapidly Declining
Meghan is trying to become the next Martha Stewart or Joanna Gaines and carve a place for herself in the hearts and homes of other “expert” foodies with a new cooking show and lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard.
On March 14th, Harry addressed a group of Diana Legacy Award winners at his Montecito mansion after his estranged brother, Prince Willliam, appeared in person.
Harry and William are obviously still avoiding each other, and Harry’s PR team likely warned him to wait until William left the ceremony before he spoke.
On that same day, Meghan launched her American Riviera Orchard brand. She posted an Instagram video that showed the Duchess arranging flowers and baking while wearing a floor-length black ball gown. It’s the kind of stuff American women can really relate to (insert sarcasm).
In the meantime, most of Harry’s “public appearances” are meticulously choreographed videos shown at events where his name is supposed to be the primary draw.
BBC royal correspondent Michael Cole commented that
“It is clear that Prince Harry is now being produced.”
“Even in America, where they were at first very popular, their approval ratings have been dropping as rapidly as the thermometer in mid-winter,”
he explained.
He continued,
“It’s obvious that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are well aware of the disapproval, hostility, and contempt they have incurred among many people by their words and actions since they left Britain and clearly do not wish to take any risks of a confrontation they cannot control-let alone stop.”
