Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's decision to release a video for their charity has been labelled "priceless, both for the campaign and for Brand Sussex," according to a royal expert.
Tessa Dunlop said it's clear "news moves fast" as people begin focusing on their upload rather than the swirling rumours regarding any possible tension between the couple. The video in which they call winners of the Responsible Tech Youth Power Fund, which their charity, Archewell Foundation, helped create, shows the pair sharing laughter and smiles as they talked to the various winners. The video showed the reaction of the stunned winners too.
Now, royal expert Tessa Dunlop has revealed how their particular upload has meant "everyone is pouring over a carefully choreographed charity video featuring the Sussexes."
Explaining why she thinks this about the video, Tessa told Mirror US the "style and setting is classic Meghan," saying it is "breezy, beige and beautiful". She continued: "The Duke and Duchess in the garden of their multi-million pound Montecito home chatting to beneficiaries of a campaign they've long been vocal about: online safety for young people "In the video, they lean towards each other, warm, smiling, almost but not quite touching."
She then added the pair's "unspoken message" is: "We are together and we are here to help."
Kate Middleton swears by £19.99 rosehip oil that helps 'reduce wrinkles & scars'"This was the first time Harry and Meghan have made a joint public appearance together for months and their involvement in the Youth Power Fund Advisor Committee was priceless," Tessa added. This 'priceless' appearance showed the couple in a positive light as they sat in the garden of their Montecito family home."
The royal expert also noted how there are clear differences in the relationship between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, and his wife Sophie. It was announced earlier this week that Justin and Sophie were splitting up after 18 years of marriage. However, it seems Harry and Meghan are remaining a united force and doing well.
"No one is better placed to help Sophie manage difficult emotions in the glare of media intrusion than Meghan and her Harry," Tessa continued.
Sophie and Meghan are famously good friends, and Sophie has even appeared on Meghan's now-defunct podcast, Archetypes. Tessa continued: "Recently the Sussexes have endured more than their fair share of rumors and recycled stories; talk of their plummeting popularity, their failed podcast deal, and their apparently troubled relationship.
"Little is proven other than our insatiable appetite for more Harry and Meghan. But over the past few weeks, the only time they've fought back verbally was Harry in the witness box of Britain's high court.
"It appears the Sussexes have finally cottoned onto the value of the late Queen's mantra 'never explain, never complain.' Choreographed, carefully scripted videos are the way forward. Sound advice that Meghan can pass onto Sophie Trudeau: when the going gets tough, sometimes less is more.
