It looks like he’s “winning” this public relations war, and without having to put in too much effort, either. Clearly, we are talking about Prince William, as it seems like he’s enjoying plenty of positive attention from the British media lately.
And of course, this is giving royal watchers something to think about as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s move back to the UK has been anything but easy.
Key Takeaways
- Prince William enjoys positive publicity following his television appearance
- The Prince of Wales promotes his Earthshot environmental initiative
- Harry and Meghan face renewed scrutiny following their UK return
- Security concerns forced Archie and Lilibet to change schools
- Questions remain about the royal brothers’ strained relationship
Prince William ‘Winning’ The PR War Against Harry And Meghan
In fact, Harry and Meghan have faced one controversy after another, including the latest headlines involving Meghan’s estranged father, Thomas Markle Sr.
The allegations involving Thomas remain under investigation, and he has denied wrongdoing.
If that weren’t enough, Harry and Meghan were also forced to move their two children, Archie and Lilibet, to another school after just two days because of security concerns.
According to reports, the couple’s security team was worried about the daily commute and the difficulty of protecting the family in heavy traffic.
As previously reported, Harry and Meghan pulled Archie and Lilibet from their original school following discussions with their security advisers.
Well, for the Prince of Wales, he certainly doesn’t appear to be publicly dwelling on Prince Harry and Meghan and all their problems.
Instead, he’s busy carrying out his duties as the future king of the United Kingdom and making positive appearances on television programs like The Graham Norton Show.
William recently surprised viewers by appearing on the popular British talk show alongside Hollywood star Cate Blanchett, actress Hannah Waddingham, and conservationist Robert Irwin.
The appearance gave William an opportunity to discuss his environmental initiative, the Earthshot Prize, and the importance of finding practical solutions to environmental problems.
Prince William’s Earthshot Success Brings Positive Attention
Not only that, but Prince William is also getting positive press for his environmental initiative, Earthshot, while rubbing elbows with Hollywood A-list stars like Cate Blanchett.
The Prince of Wales used his television appearance to promote the upcoming Earthshot Prize ceremony in Mumbai, India, and highlight the work being done by environmental innovators around the world.
Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan continue dealing with questions surrounding their return to Britain and their complicated relationship with the Royal Family.
Some royal commentators believe William’s decision to focus on his public duties rather than respond to the Sussexes’ controversies has helped him maintain a more favorable media image.
Of course, that doesn’t necessarily mean everyone agrees. Harry and Meghan still have supporters who welcome their charitable work and efforts to establish a new life in Britain.
However, Prince William’s reported approach to Harry and Meghan’s publicity has already sparked discussion about the competing public images of the two royal households.
What’s Next For The Prince Of Wales?
In fact, even King Charles, who has reportedly been trying to improve his relationship with Harry and Meghan, has faced questions about how much progress has actually been made.
Although the Sussex family visited the King earlier this year, the possibility of a lasting reconciliation remains uncertain.
Meanwhile, reports suggest William and Harry’s relationship continues to be strained.
As reports about William and Kate’s reluctance to reconnect with Harry and Meghan have indicated, there may still be significant obstacles standing in the way of a family reunion.
For Prince William, meanwhile, it’s been plenty of positive press, great smiles, little public drama, and a high-profile television appearance.
It doesn’t get much better than that, right?
So far, Buckingham Palace has not made any additional comments about the supposed PR rivalry between the brothers, although at this point, it’s doubtful that anything will be said.
Watch this space, as we have a feeling there’s so much more to come.
Annemarie’s Take
I have to say, Prince William certainly seems to understand the value of keeping his head down, doing his job, and letting his public appearances speak for themselves.
While Harry and Meghan seem to be constantly dealing with one headline after another, William is sitting on Graham Norton’s couch with Hollywood stars and talking about saving the planet. That’s quite a contrast!
But I don’t think we can declare anyone the winner of a PR war without knowing what the public actually thinks. The British media may be giving William plenty of favorable coverage, but Harry and Meghan still have their supporters, too.
Personally, I would love to see the brothers put their differences aside someday. Unfortunately, judging by the continuing headlines, that family reunion doesn’t seem to be happening anytime soon!
Do you think Prince William is winning the publicity battle against Harry and Meghan, or do you believe the Sussexes are still capable of turning things around?
