Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have taken a huge step to regain control of their public image amid plummeting popularity.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have changed how their team works, giving each of them a chief of staff in a move that looks similar to the Royal family’s traditional setup, revealed an expert,
According to royal expert Charlotte Griffiths, the couple took this decision to create a stronger support system and protect them from negative press, especially from the British media.
She told GB News that Harry has been upset by low popularity ratings and believes his old Hollywood-style PR wasn’t working.
“So apparently Harry has looked at the latest polls that put him down at 27 per cent, and he's upset by it,” she said.
Citing an insider, the expert said, “A source really close to him told me that he's realised there's nowhere to go but up.”
She continued, "So what he's done is he's decided what hasn't been working. And that's the US, Hollywood PR agents. Just anything Hollywood and American basically hasn't worked for him."
Further discussing their new strategy, Griffiths said, "What did work for him? When was he popular? When he was part of the royal household.
"So what he's done is he set up around himself the exact thing that he's been railing against all these years, which is a really concrete, firm structure of a hierarchical, top-down kind of PR voices on his behalf and chiefs of staff,” she added.
"And it's basically a royal house. This is like a faux royal household."
She went on to note, "With this new structure, they actually protect him from reading the British tabloids, so they basically read on his behalf the British tabloids.
"Meghan does not at all read the British tabloids, she does not engage in British media whatsoever. And she's shielded from that by this new household.
“And the point of the new household is this kind of shield around them that protects them."
